The Piranha3 camera family takes imaging to a new level with unsurpassed resolution and throughput. With horizontal resolution up to 16k, Piranha3 cameras deliver more detail with fewer cameras in a multi-camera system for measurable cost savings. Additional system cost-savings stem from the Piranha3’s superior sensor alignment accuracy, high responsivity and optimized pixel pitch, 3.5 um (16k), 5 um (12k) and 7 um (8k).

A Camera Link interface ensures easy integration of the Piranha3 8k and 12k into existing systems. With a selectable number of taps, bit depth, and Camera Link mode, the Piranha3 cameras are extremely flexible. Other programmable features include flat field correction, exposure control, and gain and offset control.
With throughput of 1.179 Gpixels/s, the CMOS-based Piranha3 16k goes beyond the limits of Camera Link and so uses HSLink, the next generation interface pioneered by DALSA. HSLink takes the key strengths of Camera Link®, adds new features and functions, and combines them with unprecedented, scalable bandwidth (from 300 to 6000 megabytes/second in 300 megabyte/second steps ) using globally available, off-the-shelf components.

The Piranha3 cameras enable you to meet the line rates necessary for your high performance applications and allow you to reduce the number of cameras in your system. When you use fewer cameras, you use fewer framegrabbers, lenses, computers and cables. The Piranha3 family delivers the lowest price/pixel system solution.
