Next-Gen Global Shutter Sensors with Higher Resolution, Lower Power, and Superior Integration Flexibility

What’s New in Starvis 2?

Sony Starvis 2 is the next generation of this low-light sensor technology. It builds on the Starvis platform with:

Wider Dynamic Range, Richer Detail
Improved saturation and dynamic range
Exceptional Sensitivity in Visible and NIR
Higher sensitivity in both visible and NIR bands
Cleaner Images in the Dark
Reduced noise and blooming in dark conditions
Compact Pixels, Uncompromised Quality
Smaller pixel sizes without sacrificing image quality

Starvis 2 is ideal for AI-enhanced imaging systems and next-gen smart cameras where compact sensors must still perform in extreme low-light or high dynamic range scenes.

Build Smarter Vision Systems with Starvis Sensors

We help you transition to the latest generation of low-light sensors with support for sensor selection, integration challenges, and performance tuning—so your next-gen cameras capture more, even in the dark.
