Introduction to the
Piranha HS-xx Camera
1.1 Camera Highlights
Features
4096 or 8192 pixels, 7 µm x 7 µm or 14 µm x 14 µm (HS-82) pixel pitch, 90% fill factor
4 or 8 taps, bidirectional TDI
Up to 160, 320, or 640 megapixels/ second throughput
Greater than 100 kHz line rate (HS-82 model)
100x antiblooming
Broadband responsivity of 1170 DN (nJ/ cm2)
6 independently stage-selectable Time Delay and Integration (TDI) imaging regions
for remarkable user-controlled sensitivity
CE compliant
The following models are RoHS compliant: HS-80-04k40, HS-80-08k40, HS-80-08k80,
and HS-82-04k80
Programmability
Serial interface (ASCII, 9600 baud, adjustable to 19200, 57600, 115200), through
Camera Link™
Programmable gain, offset, frame rates, trigger mode, test pattern output, and camera

Selectable pixel size (binning)
Flat-field correction—minimizes lens vignetting, non-uniform lighting, and sensor
FPN and PRNU
Selectable Base, Medium, or Full Camera Link configuration, depending on camera
model
Description
The Piranha HS camera family represent Teledyne DALSA's latest generation of high
sensitivity, TDI based cameras. The Piranha HS family maximizes system throughput and
provides the largest number of pixels available in a TDI camera. All cameras are capable
of bi-directionality with up to 96 stages of integration.
Applications
The Piranha HS family is ideal for applications requiring high speed, superior image
quality, and high responsivity. These applications include:
Postal sorting (flats)
Flat panel display inspection
Printed circuit board inspection
High performance document scanning
Large web inspection
Low-light applications
Models
The Piranha HS-xx cameras are available in the following model configurations:
