These characteristics turn the 1.6 MP Global Shutter CMOS sensor into a true all-rounder. Following uEye CP and uEye FA camera models, it has now also been integrated in cameras of the IDS uEye SE series, and are thus available for the first time as board-level cameras with different lens holders.

The IMX273 has already been released by IDS in the models UI-3040CP Rev. 2, UI-5040CP Rev. 2, GV-5040CP as well as UI-5040FA. The list is now completed by the new UI-3040SE, UI-5040SE and GV-5040SE cameras. Integration into the uEye LE family is planned for early next year, so users will be able to choose their preferred version of the 1.6 MP sensor from all our uEye camera families.

With this global shutter sensor from the SONY Pregius series, users benefit from excellent image quality, which is particularly evident with low light situations or fast moving objects. This allows for an exceptionally wide range of applications. From microscope images to classic machine vision tasks in industrial production to traffic monitoring, it can be used in a wide variety of areas.
