New Product Announcement - An evaluation kit for the 720p color sensor is now available...
NIT is pleased to announce the launch of its MC1005-HBOEM evaluation kit for its 720p High Dynamic Range color sensor (NSC1005C).

This new eval kit allows testing and assessing the performances of the NSC1005C color sensor with minimum effort and can be used as a design reference for camera & system developments.

The MC1005-HBOEM operates with a standard 14 bits CAMLINK digital output and comprises a CS mount lens interface.

As part of this kit is the MAGIC View software player compatible with Dalsa and ImperX frame grabbers.

The MAGIC View software player utilizes NIT's algorithms for debayering the images in high dynamic range logarithmic response mode.

NEW PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT - NSC1005, HD Ready imaging sensor available in Native WDR™ NSC1005
NIT is pleased to announce the release of its NSC1005 HD Ready sensor operating in 720p mode.

The NSC1005 has 1280x720 pixels of 5.6um size, equipped with microlenses and/or color bayer filters. NSC1005 operates in rolling shutter mode up to a frame rate of 60Hz.

As other NIT's sensors, NSC1005 benefits from the Native WDR™ pixel technology which provides an instantaneous dynamic range of more than 140dB, a logarithmic response of the signal to illumination and no need for exposure time. A fixed pattern noise correction is implemented on the circuit.

NSC1005 is available with color bayer filters and provides sharp color images without the need of white balance. A custom de-bayerisation algorithm is available upon request from NIT in order to operate in the logarithmic response domain.

NSC1005 is particularly useful for security and surveillance application, smart IP cameras and traffic control.

A new range of Native WDR™ color imaging sensors...
NIT announces a major advance in high dynamic range imaging by introducing a range of color sensors operating in logarithmic response mode. These new sensors are based upon NIT patented Native WDR™ pixel technology where the pixel photodiodes are used as single solar cells providing extraordinary intrinsic dynamic range without exposure time.

The new sensors deliver sharp and accurate color images over a dynamic range exceeding 140 dB, without any setup or need for white balance.

Specific algorithms for color de-bayerisation have been developed in order to accommodate the specific logarithmic response of NIT sensors.

The photoelectric signal response of NIT photodiodes is predictable and modeled with extreme accuracy which simplifies the chromatic calibration process and further increase the color stability over temperature changes.

A dedicated Native WDR™ pixel of 5.6µm size, implementing micro lenses and a color bayer array, has been designed and implemented first on a D1 - 768x576 pixels sensor.

New Product Announcement : NSC0905FO, an HDR sensor...
The NSC0905FO is a 1280x1024 pixel Native Wide Dynamic Range™ sensor coupled to a flat fiber optic. This sensor has a pixel size of 10.6um and offers more than 120 dB of dynamic range.

The diagonal size of the NSC0905FO allows matching the standard 18mm phosphor I2 tube interface without losing spatial resolution.

Other applications include X-ray or gamma-ray imaging through the deposition of fluorescent material layers at the fiber optic surface.

The NSC0905FO has a maximum frame rate of 60 Hz full frame and offers on chip 2x2 binning and center zooming.

Thanks to its Native Wide Dynamic RangeTM of more than 120 dB the sensor does not require any setting or exposure time control. Power consumption of the sensor is less than 150 mW.

NIT starts sampling its NSC1101 : an HDR Read Out Circuit...
The NSC1101 is a high dynamic range read out circuit (ROIC) designed to interface with any photodiode array, through flip chip bonding. NSC1101 is of VGA format (640x512 pixels), it has a pitch of 15µm and can accept any PDA with p-on-n or n-on-p.
Thanks to its Native Wide Dynamic RangeTM of more than 120 dB the sensor does not require any setting or exposure time control.

NSC1101 can be used with all infrared sensing materials such as InSb, InGaAs or HgCdTe and can operate at cryogenic temperature of 80K. Other photo sensing materials such as AsGa for THz or XRay detection have been already sucessfully used.

NSC1101 is a sampling stage and can be ordered from NIT in a 8" wafer form.

A new set of tone mapping algorithms available for Log sensors…
NIT is pleased to announce the release of a new set of tone mapping algorithms dedicated to its range of Native WDR™ imaging sensors. These algorithms allow displaying scenes with a wide dynamic intra scene contrast on a simple monitor without losing signal information.

In addition the NIT tone mapping algorithms are capable to operate with logarithmic output imaging sensors both in monochrome and in color.

The first video shows a comparison between a classical linear integration sensor and our Native WDR™ sensor technology when observing a strong incandescent light source of 300W.

Both the tungsten filament and the color target can be observed without alteration and saturation.

This second video shows how the colors on the chart remain constant independently of the illumination even with a bright incandescent light source greater than 300W.

The absence of white balance is a unique feature of NIT Native WDR™ thanks to the exact natural logarithmic response of the sensors.
