Teledyne Tetra 2.5 GbE line scan camera supports up to 8K resolution for machine vision applications

Teledyne Tetra line scan camera

Teledyne DALSA has recently announced the Tetra line scan camera family with 2.5GbE networking, up to 8K resolution, a line rate of up to 150 kHz, and offered in monochrome or color versions. Traditional cameras (aka scan camera) will capture a full frame, but line scan cameras will only capture one line at a time to scan an object or scene as it moves past the camera providing higher resolution image provided the speed of the scan and the motion of the object are syncrhonized, for instance, on a production line. Line scan cameras like the Tetra are typically used for quality control at the factory,  document scanning, license plate scanning, and scientific research (e.g. satellite imaging).   Teledyne Tetra specifications: Color cameras Tetra 2k Color  – TL-GC-02K05T-00 Resolution – 2048 x 3 Pixel size – 14 μm Max line rate – 50 kHz x 3 Tetra 4k Color –  […]
