Theia was honoured with a bronze-level award. Theia’s family of 4K 12 megapixel resolution lenses provide 112 to 7 degrees HFOV offering 4-10mm and 12-50mm focal ranges. Covering 1/1.7” 4K imagers, while resolving the smaller 1/2.3” sensor pixels, both offer excellent IR correction for day/night cameras. At 64.5mm long by 59mm diameter, they’re the most compact for comparable 4k lenses to facilitate use in domes, bullets and small enclosures. And they are offered in fully motorised, manual, DC auto-iris, P-iris, CS/C and board mount combinations.

“Theia is honoured to once again be recognised for innovation in imaging technology,” commented Mark Peterson, Vice President of Advanced Technology for Theia Technologies. “We strive to design and develop unique and innovative lens technology and related products which provide excellent value to the markets we serve. We are delighted that industry continues to recognise our contributions,” continued Peterson.

Alan Bergstein, publisher of Vision Systems Design said "This prestigious programme allows Vision Systems Design to celebrate and recognise the most innovative products and services in the vision and image processing industry. Our 2016 Honorees are an outstanding example of companies who are making an impact in the industry."

The Innovators Awards are judged based on criteria including, originality, innovation, impact on designers, systems integrators and end users, fulfilling a need in the market that hasn’t been addressed and leveraging a novel technology.
