Spectral Response#

Sony Pregius S Relative Spectral Sensitivity

The spectral response curve includes IR cut filter characteristics, but excludes lens characteristics and light source characteristics.

IR Cut Filter#

Color cameras are equipped with an IR cut filter. The filter is mounted in a filter holder inside the lens mount.

The IR cut filter has the following spectral characteristics:

Wavelength [nm] Transmittance
450–610 Tmin > 90 %
450–620 Tavg > 93 %
645 ± 10 T = 50 %
700–1070 Tmax < 4 %
690–1070 Tavg < 1 %

The filter holder can be removed. For more information, see the ace IR Cut Filter Holder Removal Procedure application note.

Environmental Requirements#

Temperature and Humidity#

Description Temperature
Device temperature during operation 0–75 °C (32–167 °F)a
Device temperature during storage -20–80 °C (-4–176 °F)
Humidity 20–80 %, relative, non-condensing

  1. Temperature measured at the temperature measurement point, i.e., at the hottest point on the board. This point is significantly hotter than the other parts on the board.

Heat Dissipation#

CAUTION – Temperatures outside of the specified range may cause burns or lead to a camera shutdown.

Operating the camera module at temperatures outside of the range given in the camera specification causes the following problems:

  • The camera module gets hot and may cause burns when touching it.
  • Operating the camera module without heat dissipation may lead to a shutdown of the camera module in order to protect its electrical components.
  • The camera module's lifetime decreases.

Ensure sufficient heat dissipation.

→ See Providing Heat Dissipation.

Electrical Requirements#

For information about the camera power requirements, see the General Specifications table above.

→ If you want to connect the camera module to Basler hardware, see dart M Interface Boards.

→ If you want to connect the camera module to custom hardware, see dart M Interface Description.

Physical Interface#
