1 Description and Features The GPM462C camera possesses an exceptionally strong capability to capture infrared light (with a high QE value at 500nm). It also has a large full well capacity, high dynamic range, high sensitivity, and low readout noise among other advantages.
2.2 Sony IMX462 Sensitivity The sensor G Sensitivity of GPM462C is 2376mv with 1/30s. Its spectral sensitivity is shown in Figure 1. The sensitivity is measured with a testing standard lens with CM500S (t = 1.0mm) as an IR-cut filter and image at F5.6.
2.3 12bit ADC and ROI The GPM462C has built in 12bit ADC. It also has 12bit output mode for hardware binning and smaller resolution. The camera also supports hardware ROI, and the smaller the ROI size is, the higher the frame rate is.
GPM462C Manual cable, the device is primed for operation. 2.8 Camera Performance Analysis Camera performance can be evaluated with e-/ADU, Read Noise, Full Well Dynamic Range. e-/ADU: The sensors found in cameras used for vision applications have pixels that convert incoming photons into Analog- electrons.
