Waterloo, Canada, March 20, 2025 – Teledyne DALSA, a Teledyne Technologies company and global leader in machine vision, announces the new Tetra™ line scan camera family. Designed for a wide range of machine vision applications, Tetra leverages Teledyne's latest multiline CMOS image sensor technology and builds on the success of the original Linea™ series of high-value line scan cameras.

The Tetra camera family is designed for cost-sensitive applications, offering a high performance-to-cost ratio through its 2.5 GigE Vision interface, which ensures highly reliable data transmission over long cable lengths. Available in 2k, 4k, and 8k resolutions with a line rate of up to 150 kHz, the camera comes in both monochrome and color versions, with power consumption under 6 watts. Monochrome models deliver excellent image quality with options for single monochrome or dual-line HDR mode, while the color models provide true red, green, and blue colors without any data interpolation.

Tetra includes essential line scan features such as multiple regions of interest, programmable coefficient sets, and power over the internet. Its 2.5 GigE Vision interface makes it ideal for applications such as electronics inspection, optical sorting, printed materials inspection, packaging inspection, web inspection, and general machine vision.
