Teledyne E2v Introduces The Caiman Module: A Compact Imaging Solution For Low Light Imaging
Share
GRENOBLE, France, April 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teledyne e2v, a Teledyne Technologies [NYSE: TDY] company and global innovator of imaging solutions, announces the launch of the Caiman™ imaging module, a small, lightweight, low power solution designed for demanding low light applications.
Built around the OnyxMax™ sensor, Caiman delivers high quantum efficiency, high spatial resolution in the near-infrared spectral band, and low noise performance providing high sensitivity in low-light conditions (less than 1 mlx). The module integrates image processing features, including automatic exposure control, noise filtering, histogram equalization, and binning, to ensure consistently high image quality.
With its compact form factor and very low power consumption (below 1W), Caiman is designed for extended operation. It also supports high speeds (greater than 120 fps), which reduces overall system latency for smoother real-time visualization. Its MIPI interface enables easy integration into digital vision systems and compatibility with standard System on Chips (SOCs).
These capabilities make Caiman an ideal solution for night vision, surveillance, laser detection, and scientific imaging applications. Its CMOS technology ensures reliable performance in both daytime and nighttime conditions.
Caiman will be showcased at SPIE Defense + Security, National Harbor, USA, from April 26-30, 2026. Visit Teledyne at booth 703 or contact us online for more information.
Documentation, samples, and software for evaluation or development are available upon request.
