BIGEYE Series

Product Introduction

The BIGEYE Series is designed for microscopy imaging and general industrial/scientific applications, featuring Sony Exmor/Exmor R/Exmor RS back-illuminated CMOS or GSENSE large-format BSI sensors (model-dependent), delivering high quantum efficiency and low readout noise performance even in low-light conditions. Selected GSENSE models support Global Reset (rolling readout) to balance high frame rates with motion suppression, suitable for demanding applications such as UV detection and corona detection.

The system integrates an Ultra-Fine hardware ISP video processing engine (HISPVP), offloading real-time processing tasks including Demosaic, auto exposure/gain, white balance, one-click calibration, Gamma/contrast/saturation/LUT to the camera, thereby reducing host CPU load and improving preview and recording stability. The data link utilizes USB3.0, supporting real-time 8/12-bit switching and RAW/Bayer output with resolutions ranging from 4.2 to 10 MP. Bundled with ToupView/ToupLite and cross-platform SDK (Windows/Linux/macOS/Android) for convenient system integration and secondary development.
