Falcon2 12M, 8M and 4M

CMOS Color and Monochrome Area Scan Cameras

The new Falcon2 CMOS area scan
cameras delivers up to 12 megapixels of
resolution at 58 fps with global shutter.
The new Falcon2 12M, 8M and 4M—Teledyne DALSA’s new generation of color and
monochrome area scan cameras—incorporate large resolutions and faster frame rates
enabling high speed image capture with superb spatial resolution and improved image
quality. Global shuttering removes unwanted smear and time displacement artifacts related to
rolling shutter CMOS devices. These features make the Falcon2 cameras the best choice for
applications where throughput, resolution and high pixel capacity matter most.
Inside the Falcon2 camera is our latest CMOS sensors, which has reduced dark noise
levels and improved dark offset, FPN (fixed pattern noise) and PRNU (Pixel Response NonUniformity) levels.
