【Pixel Shifting Technology...】 This technology involves moving the X/Y axis between the pixel pitches of a camera's image sensor in sub-micron units using piezo actuators. By capturing images each time the sensor is moved and then synthesizing them, the resolution is improved. With a 25M (25 million pixel) camera, it is possible to achieve a resolution equivalent to 100 million pixels with 4 shifts (2 vertical and 2 horizontal) and a resolution equivalent to 400 million pixels with 16 shifts (4 vertical and 4 horizontal). We have received inquiries from various customers requiring ultra-high precision imaging for inspection, research/analysis, medical applications, archiving, and more. For more details about our products, please download our product catalog or pixel shifting camera materials from the bottom of this page, or contact our sales department.

We offer products suitable for customers in industries such as electronics, who conduct inspections of semiconductors and small electronic components. Our solutions ensure that even minute scratches and defects, which can only be detected with high-resolution cameras, are not overlooked, preventing the production of defective products. Additionally, our products can be utilized for archiving national treasures and artworks, as well as for digitization purposes. The interfaces we use include Camera Link, designed for industrial cameras, which offers exceptional reliability and stability, and CoaXPress, which enables high-speed image transmission with a simple system configuration. **Features of Camera Link I/F:** - Capable of transmitting data at 255 Mbps with one cable and 850 Mbps with two cables without delay. - When supporting PoCL, power can be supplied from the frame grabber to the camera via the Camera Link cable. - Connectors and cables are standardized, making them easy to obtain and handle. **Features of CoaXPress I/F:** - High data rates ranging from 6.25 Gbps to 25 Gbps. - Real-time trigger operation is possible. - Long-distance transmission of over 100 meters is achievable. - Highly flexible cables provide excellent usability. - High-precision imaging is possible in limited spaces. - Supports PoCXP.

**What is pixel shifting technology...** It is a technology that improves resolution by moving the X/Y axis between the pixel pitches of a camera's image sensor in sub-micrometer increments using a piezo actuator, capturing an image each time it is moved, and then synthesizing those images. With a 25M (25 million pixel) camera, it is possible to achieve a resolution equivalent to 100 million pixels with 4 shifts (2 shifts vertically and horizontally) and a resolution equivalent to 400 million pixels with 16 shifts (4 shifts vertically and horizontally).

By conducting inspections at a maximum resolution of 21M and SWIR wavelengths, we capture defects that are typically undetectable, contributing to the efficiency of production. 【Examples of SWIR Camera Applications】 ■ Discovering scratches in wafer inspections that are invisible under visible light. ■ Making substrate through-holes more prominent for easier inspection of hole positions and sizes. ■ Objects that appear the same color under visible light are shown in different colors under SWIR wavelengths due to differences in moisture permeability, allowing for differentiation of materials and contents. ■ By absorbing/transmitting light depending on the type of liquid, we can determine the presence and quantity of contents and the mixing of foreign substances. ■ Checking contents by penetrating bottle labels and plastic candy bags. ■ Leaf veins and bruises on fruits become more pronounced, making them effective for freshness checks and quality inspections. Previously, we offered the SXGA resolution "VCC-SXCXP1SW," but we are now introducing the new high-resolution pixel-shift SWIR camera "VCC-SXCXP1SWPS" with a maximum resolution of 21M. The camera is equipped with an actuator incorporating our proprietary piezoelectric elements, enabling higher precision imaging.

CoaXPress-over-Fiber (CoF) is an interface that supports transmission via optical fiber as an extension of the existing CoaXPress specifications. The "VCC-21CoF1" series, which is the first to adopt CoF from CIS, enables ultra-high-speed image transmission of 425 fps with a high resolution of 21 million pixels by using QSFP+ (40G) ×2, thereby improving work efficiency in applications such as machine vision. 【Benefits of CoF】 ■ Ultra-fast image transmission with a wide bandwidth Maximum bandwidth of 5,000 MB/s from the camera to the host PC memory. ■ Cable length Fiber connections essentially have no limitations on cable length, allowing for flexible cable routing tailored to customer applications. Additionally, the cables are lighter and more compact than CoaXPress coaxial copper cables. ■ Standardized by JIIA and IEEE CoF already has various connection options provided by different companies, making it widely available and easier to find low-cost solutions that fit customer applications.

CoaXPress-over-Fiber (CoF) is an interface that supports transmission via optical fiber as an extension of the existing CoaXPress specification. The "VCC-21CoF2" series, which adopts CoF, enables ultra-high-speed image transmission of up to approximately 526 fps through a single QSFP28 (100G) connection, despite its high resolution of 21 million pixels, thereby improving work efficiency in applications such as machine vision. 【Benefits of CoF】 ■ Ultra-fast image transmission with a wide bandwidth Maximum bandwidth of 5,000 MB/s from the camera to the host PC memory. ■ Cable length Fiber connections essentially have no limitations on cable length, allowing for flexible cable routing tailored to customer applications. Additionally, the cables are lighter and more compact than CoaXPress coaxial copper cables. ■ Standardized by JIIA and IEEE CoF is already offered by various companies as a connection option, making it widely available and easier for customers to find low-cost solutions that fit their needs.
