Global shutter technology is perfect for capturing images of moving objects. Modern CMOS sensors have been available with global shutter for some time now. You'll learn more here about the benefits of CMOS global shutter sensors.

If your cameras need to capture moving objects and rapid movement sequences, then shutter type is a crucial criterion alongside sensor technology in determining the quality of the images. Since the advent of global shutter technology in CMOS sensors, there is now a more individual and flexible choice of suitable sensor technology for your application.

How does a global shutter sensor work?

A global shutter exposes all lines of an image at the same time, 'freezing' the moving object in place. This prevents distortions, which makes global shutter technology the ideal choice for applications with moving objects and rapid movement sequences, including automatic license plate detection as part of traffic monitoring, for example.

The advantages of global shutter sensors:

1. High frame rates

2. High resolution

3. Crystal-clear images, even for very short exposures

4. Outstanding noise characteristics, even in poor lighting conditions

5. Broad dynamic range

6. High quantum efficiency of up to 70%
