HV 1700

The Hypervision 1700 (VIS-SWIR) expands the range of the VIS-NIR camera in order to cover also the short-wave infrared wavelengths (430-1700nm). The range is divided into up to 920 spectral bands (1.38 nm/px spectral resolution).

It has a maximum framerate of 150 with all 920 spectral bands. The framerate is directly proportional to the number of bands (sensor lines) and therefore it can be greatly increased by reducing the amount of selected wavelengths. Up to 8 vertical regions of interest (ROI) can be configured in order to reduce the amount of selected wavelengths.

The inclusion of the short-wave infrared range allows the camera to better differentiate the chemical composition of objects, which makes it suitable to, for example, plastic sorting.

Seamless Broad-Spectrum Imaging

The Hypervision 1700 provides a unified solution across the entire 400 nm to 1700 nm spectral range. By integrating VNIR and SWIR capabilities into a single optical path, the system eliminates the need for multi-camera setups and complex post-processing alignment.

Traditional hyperspectral workflows often require two separate sensors: Silicon-based CMOS for visible light and InGaAs for infrared. This typically results in a "sensitivity dip" or data gap in the 900–1000 nm region.

The Hypervision 1700 bridges this gap, delivering a continuous, co-registered data cube with high quantum efficiency throughout the transition zone. This ensures seamless spectral signatures for applications where critical molecular overtones — such as moisture content or specific polymer bonds — reside in the NIR-SWIR crossover.

Height vs FOV table

The following table details the achievable Field of View (FOV) and Depth of Field (DoF) for the HV 1700 camera across various lens focal lengths (ff) and working distances (HH). Values are calculated assuming a 2.8 aperture (F/2.8F/2.8) and a circle of confusion of 4 px (matching the 20μm20\mu m slit size).
