Powered byPHOTONIS’ Image Intensifier coupled to a wide dynamic range CMOS sensor, theICMOS provides realtime imaging capabilities in overcast starlight to lowlight. Its small size, weight and power  (SWaP) make this camera module idealfor integration into aerial, mobile and hand-held surveillance systems.

The ICMOS analog camera is a low lightlevel video unit based on Photonis image intensifier tube equipped with a widedynamic range CMOS sensor. The unit integrates the high voltage power supplyfor the intensifier tube and the readout electronics for the CMOS sensor. Videodata is provided through two wires in PAL/NTSC format and power is  applie dusing two alternative wires.

ICMOS stands for Intensified CMOS and is acoupling of an image intensifier tube with a CMOS sensor. The advantage is thatthe direct view image intensifier tube becomes a digital solution. The coupling provide the benefits of a high performance image quality, gained by the imageintensifier tube and all the benefits of a digital low light camera  such asrecording, saving and sharing videos.

Even better performances will be obtainedwith large pixels and a high dynamic sensor. The image intensifier tube and the CMOS sensor will directly be coupled on to each other, so there is no taperneeded. This ICMOS is a night vision device that cannot be used during the day. All Photonis image intensifier tubes and any kind of sensor can be  coupled under the ICMOS technology.
