Compact ultra-sensitive colour camera was developed in response to customer requests for a camera that could reproduce colour images in starlight, underwater and other lowlight conditions
Toshiba Imaging Systems, a division of Toshiba America, introduces the IK-1000, an extreme low-light, colour video camera.
The breakthrough imaging system features Toshiba's new, proprietary electron-multiplying CCD technology, making it ideal for all ultra low-light applications.
The incoming signal is multiplied by a factor of one thousand, allowing a minimum illumination with full colour reproduction down to 0.25mlux (1/1000 lux) 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 color CCD.
The half-inch CCD features a high resolution 658x496 pixel sensor, a built-in electronic shutter to 1/2000sec 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, ultra-sensitive colour camera measures 58x58.4x133mm.
