Provided by the sensor's deep pixel wells (>30,000 electrons) and a low noise architecture, the GO-2400-PGE delivers a signal-to-noise ratio of greater than 60 dB which provides image quality in terms of sensitivity, noise, and dynamic range that exceeds traditional CCD cameras at this resolution.

Classed as an entry-level and cost-effective option, the camera features a small form factor (29 mm x 29 mm x 41.5 mm, excluding lens mount) and weighs only 46 grams – currently one of the lightest cameras available at this resolution. But despite its compact size, the GO-2400 PGE carries industrial-grade specifications that ensure performance in factory environments and include an 80G shock rating, 10G vibration rating, and a standard operating temperature range of -5°C to +45°C.

Featuring a 2.35-megapixel global shutter CMOS imager, the camera offers a maximum resolution of 1936 x 1216 pixels at 48.8 fps over a GigE Vision interface.

The model is available in mono and colour versions and is equipped with JAI’s Auto Level Control that combines auto gain and auto shutter capabilities into an integrated function in order to optimise auto exposure control for lowest noise, fastest shutter or other selectable priorities. Standard features include a high-performance global shutter with speeds as fast as 38 µs, and a region-of-interest (ROI) function for windowing the field of view to achieve faster frame rates or to utilize smaller optical formats than the camera’s 1/1.2” standard C-mount format. Other features include pixel blemish compensation and shading correction functions, a built-in 256-point look-up table for gamma customization, and a multi-ROI mode supporting up to 5 overlapping regions within a single frame. Monochrome models also contain a binning function (1x2, 2x1, 2x2) for increasing pixel sensitivity.

With their small size and high image quality, GO-2400-PGE cameras are well suited to a wide range of applications including medical and scientific uses, as well as robotics and high precision inspection systems.
