Advancing High-Speed Imaging: Introducing the HZ-12000-SB and HZ-25000-SB Cameras with Sony's IMX926 and IMX925 Sensors

Emergent Vision Technologies is excited to announce the upcoming (2025) release of two cutting-edge cameras: the HZ-12000-SB and HZ-25000-SB. These models integrate Sony's latest global shutter image sensors, the IMX926 and IMX925, respectively, marking a significant advancement in high-speed imaging technology.

Sony's IMX926 and IMX925 Sensors: A Leap in Performance

The IMX926 and IMX925 sensors are engineered to deliver exceptional image quality and speed. The IMX925 features approximately 24.55 effective megapixels in a 1.2-inch format, while the IMX926 offers approximately 12.41 effective megapixels in a 1/1.1-inch format. Both sensors utilize Sony's Pregius S? technology, incorporating a back-illuminated pixel structure with a 2.74 μm unit cell size, ensuring high sensitivity and low noise performance.

A notable advancement in these sensors is the optimized circuit structure, which enhances the sensor drive from pixel readout to the A/D converter. This innovation enables the IMX925 to achieve a frame rate of 394 fps (10-bit), approximately four times higher than previous models, while nearly doubling power efficiency. These improvements are expected to significantly boost productivity in various industrial, sports, and scientific applications.

Emergent's HZ-12000-SB and HZ-25000-SB Cameras: Harnessing the Power of 100GigE

Building upon these sensor advancements, Emergent's HZ-12000-SB and HZ-25000-SB cameras are designed to fully leverage the capabilities of the IMX926 and IMX925 sensors. Both cameras feature our well-established 100GigE QSFP28 interface, facilitating rapid data transfer and seamless integration into high-performance imaging systems.

Zero-Copy Technology: Ensuring Reliability and Efficiency

At Emergent, we have been at the forefront of high-speed GigE Vision technology for over a decade. Our zero-copy technology, implemented since 2010, ensures that image data is transferred directly from the camera to the GPU without unnecessary CPU intervention. This approach minimizes latency and CPU load, providing reliable performance even in demanding applications. Contrary to some beliefs that high-speed GigE Vision is unreliable above 1GigE, our proven track record with 10GigE, 25GigE, 50GigE, and 100GigE cameras demonstrates otherwise.

Compatibility with GigE Vision 3.0

The HZ-12000-SB and HZ-25000-SB cameras are prepared for GigE Vision 3.0, ensuring compatibility with the latest advancements in the GigE Vision standard. This readiness underscores our commitment to providing future-proof solutions that meet evolving industry standards.

Expanding Our Sensor Portfolio: A Comprehensive Solution

These forthcoming releases complement our existing 100GigE High-Speed Area-Scan lineup of GPixel GSprint sensors, which include models with 2.5MP, 10MP, and 21MP resolutions. By incorporating Sony's latest sensor technology alongside our current offerings, we provide a comprehensive range of high-speed imaging solutions tailored to diverse application needs.

Conclusion

We remain dedicated to delivering cutting-edge imaging solutions that meet the evolving demands of industrial, sports, and scientific applications. The integration of Sony's IMX926 and IMX925 sensors into our HZ-12000-SB and HZ-25000-SB cameras, combined with our proven zero-copy technology and 100GigE interface, sets new benchmarks in speed, efficiency, and image quality. We look forward to empowering our customers with these advanced tools to achieve unparalleled performance in their imaging endeavors.

Release within 2025 (Subject to change).
