Genie HM/HC Series Sensor Overview
The sensor description below provides a specification table and response graphics. The graph describes the sensor
response to different wavelengths of light (excluding lens and light source characteristics). Visible light spans
wavelengths between about 390 - 780 nanometers. Wavelengths below 390 nm are termed ultra-violet while those
above 780 nm. are termed infra-red. The peak response is around 600 nanometers.

Bayer Mosaic Arrangement
(HC models only)
The HC color camera models have a Bayer filter applied to the
CMOS sensor to allow for color separation. Each individual
pixel is covered by either a red, green, or blue filter. The camera
outputs raw color data--no color interpolation is performed. Full
RGB images can be obtained by performing color interpolation
on the frame grabber or host PC.
Shutter Full frame electronic shutter
Gain Range 0dB to +12dB
