Toshiba's IK-TU51 camera provides real-time imaging with 10bit digital signal processing.
The incoming signal is multiplied by a factor of 1000, allowing a minimum illumination with full colour reproduction down to 0.25mlux in colour at 50 IRE.
Toshiba's electron multiplying technology results in a super-sensitive camera that is 1000 times more sensitive than a conventional colour CCD.
The half-inch CCD features a high resolution 658 x 496 pixel sensor, a built-in electronic shutter to 1/2000s and accepts C-mount lenses.
Developed in response to customer requests for a camera that could reproduce colour images in starlight, underwater and other lowlight conditions, the compact, ultrasensitive colour camera measures 58 x 58.4 x 133mm.
