DALSA Corporation has introduced the Piranha™ HS 12k 90 kHz camera. This new high-speed model features 12k resolution with a 5.2 um pixel size, and breakthrough speeds of 90 kHz line rate or 1.2 gigapixels/second.

With DALSA's newly developed HSLink interface, the Piranha HS 12k camera delivers unprecedented speeds, high resolution and compact design. The HSLink interface is a new machine vision connectivity interface pioneered by DALSA. The interface has taken the key strengths of Camera Link®, and added new features and functions. HSLink delivers scalable bandwidth in 300 megabyte/second steps, from 300 to 6000 megabytes/second, while using globally available, off-the-shelf components. A white paper detailing the HSLink interface is now available for download.

The Piranha HS 12k is supported by DALSA's new Xcelera-HS PX8 frame grabber. The Xcelera-HS PX 8 also leverages DALSA new HSLink interface to deliver unprecedented image acquisition bandwidth of 1.8 gigabytes/second and host transfer bandwidth of 2 gigabytes/second over multiple-lane PCI Express implementations.

The Piranha HS 12K camera features DALSA's latest cutting-edge time delay and integration, or TDI, technology - an enabler for low light imaging which reduces operating costs and environmental impacts. It has 256 selectable TDI stages with responsivity of 3450DN/nj/cm2. All the high performance comes from a compact mechanical body of 180 x 90 x 92.5mm. With advanced features such as bi-directionality, anti-blooming and programmability, the HS 12k camera is ideally suited for flat-panel display, electronics and PCB, and solar cell inspection, and other high speed web applications.
