Maximum image quality in minimum light: GigE uEye LE with Sony Starvis 2 sensors

18 June 2025

Whether in quality assurance, medical technology or automation — industrial image processing places high demands on precision and reliability, even under difficult conditions. IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH is therefore expanding its portfolio of cost-optimized project cameras from the GigE uEye LE series with state-of-the-art Sony Starvis 2 sensors from the end of June 2025. These deliver impressive image quality even in low ambient light.

The new single-board cameras are GigE Vision-compliant, space-saving and designed for high-volume applications. Thanks to their attractive price-performance ratio, they are suitable for cost-critical industrial projects. With the IMX675 (5 MP), IMX676 (12.5 MP) and IMX678 (8 MP) sensor variants, IDS will soon be able to offer further high-performance options for a wide range of requirements. The 12.5 megapixel version with its square 1/1.6-inch sensor is ideal for use in microscopy applications, for example.

The Sony Starvis 2 sensors utilize the latest CMOS technology, which impresses with excellent light sensitivity, low noise and an extended dynamic range. They were developed for applications where the highest image quality is required and guarantee detailed pictures even in difficult lighting conditions.

The introduction of the new models strengthens IDS's position as a supplier of versatile, powerful and economical image processing components — "Made in Germany." Like all members of the GigE uEye LE family, they follow the design-to-cost principle and are aimed specifically at users who want to efficiently integrate camera technology into machines, devices or embedded systems.
