The CCD sensor can output pixel data at remark-able speed. At an effective resolution of 2456 × 2058, the 2/3“ chip delivers a high frame rate of 15 fps. In the Center Scan mode, the camera achieves rates of up to 44 fps and ensures consistent image quality in each view. The ICX625ALA thus delivers images of a quality comparable to Sony‘s EXview HAD CCD™ ICX285AL with up to four times higher resolution.
The CCD chip features an electronic shutter with variable charge-storage time which makes it possible to realize full-frame still images without a mechanical shutter. It is typically used for applications that require high-resolution imaging, a high dynamic range, high sensitivity and high output speed, e.g. surveillance cameras or scientific measurement systems.
