SHR | High-Resolution Industrial Cameras

SHR super-high resolution CMOS camera series, in a nutshell

The SHR (super-high resolution) CMOS camera series are the highest resolution with relatively large pixels and large sensor format cameras from SVS-Vistek catalog. The SHR shines with up to 245 MP resolution when the task at hand requires uncompromising image quality.

Large pixels play a crucial role in enhancing image quality, leveraging clear physical principles. For high-end applications requiring exceptional resolution and image fidelity, large pixels are indispensable for achieving optimal transfer functions. This is particularly critical in tasks designed for the SHR series, where unmatched resolutions and precision are paramount.

Ensuring consistent image quality with large sensors demands careful attention. The SHR series cameras address this need with advanced shading correction for challenging optical requirements and customizable defect pixel correction, delivering exceptional linearity, uniformity, and low noise levels.

To maximize the potential of high data rates offered by CMOS sensors, we integrate them with cutting-edge interfaces. SHR series cameras also feature extensive I/O capabilities, including sequencers and built-in strobe controllers, to meet the most demanding imaging requirements.

The SHR offers low-noise CMOS sensors with the highest resolution and large pixels in medium format. The high-quality harmonization of the pixels guarantees an impeccable image. Highest structural precision in sensor adjustment in a solid, thermally highly optimized housing make the SHR with its lens shading correction the ideal partner for the most demanding optical tasks.

High-resolution made in Germany

Large pixels have many advantages when it comes to image quality in cameras, the physics here are clear. Some high-end tasks require the highest resolutions and impeccable image quality, which cannot be achieved without correspondingly large pixels for the optimum transfer function. This also applies to the highest resolutions. Tasks made for the SHR series.

Large sensors require special care in the camera to ensure a homogeneous image. Shading correction for demanding optical tasks and user-defined defect pixel correction ensure outstanding linearity, homogeneity and low noise.

We connect CMOS sensors in this category with the most powerful interfaces in order to make full use of the sensor’s high data rates. All cameras in the SHR series offer extensive I/O functions with sequencer and integrated strobe controller.

Versatile lens connection

High structural precision in sensor alignment and housing ensures precise image reproduction and a secure hold for the camera mount, adapter and lenses. The medium-format SHR is equipped with a standardized M72 thread and can therefore be used with a wide range of lenses and adapter rings. Thanks to the short flange distance of 19.55 mm, the highest quality lens systems can be individually adapted for almost any task.

Versatile data interfaces

SHR CoaXPress

The SHR series offers cameras with CXP-6 and rolling shutter, but also versions with the very fast CXP-12 interface and global shutter. CoaXPress is currently the fastest standardized interface for industrial cameras over long distances with thin cables. The industrial I/O interface facilitates integration.

SHR 10GigE

The 10GigE interface provides an excellent combination of performance, flexibility and cost efficiency, making it an ideal choice for demanding machine vision applications. The economical and high-performance 10GigE interface offers up to 1.25 GB/s data transfer for these large images. A special frame grabber is not required.
