Sunex Day/Night Exchanger Specifically Designed to Work with Pixim DPS Chipsets

CARLSBAD,
Calif., June 4, 2007 -- Sunex has introduced a product that it said
provides true day and night capability to C- and CS-mount cameras based
on Pixim chipsets.
The new Sunex CSS-EXM-IRC21 is compatible with C- or CS-mount cameras
and joins the existing M12-EXM-IRC21 with integrated lens mount (M12)
in Sunex’s day/night switcher line, the company said. In low-light
conditions the exchanger maximizes the light transmission to the
sensor; in full-light conditions the exchanger optimizes the color
rendition of the image.
The exchangers are designed to work specifically with Pixim DPS
chipsets. Operation requires only a mating, 2-pin connector and a ±3-V
100-ms signal. One signal inserts the infrared (IR) cut filter between
the lens and the sensor for daytime operation, optimizing the color
rendition. The opposite signal exchanges the IR cut filter with a clear
antireflective-coated window to maximize the light transmission in
low-light conditions. The latching solenoid requires power only to
switch, minimizing power consumption and heat generation, Sunex said.
The compact size is ideal for miniature cameras and allows the flexibly
to choose different lenses based on application. With a small footprint
and mounting holes designed specifically to mate with the Pixim
reference PCB, both exchangers are drop-in solutions to make an
existing camera design a true day/night camera, according to the
company.
