The sensor will be used in the Cohu 1000 Series mini-dome, traditional, and OEM board-level models for such applications as general security and surveillance, high vandalism areas and high contrast light environments. Cohu's 1000 Series takes full advantage of Pixim's DPS technology to deliver smear-less pictures coupled with excellent image quality and colour accuracy for effective 24/7 image capture.

DPS technology converts light to a digital signal directly at the point of capture in the image sensor, enabling each pixel to have independent, optimized exposure times to deliver the highest image quality. The result is excellent low light performance (0.5 lux in color, 0.1 lux in black and white), wide dynamic range (120dB max), a progressive scan imager with global shutter that minimizes motion artifacts, and high Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) even at high temperature.
