CV-420
Compact remote head 4K camera with 10-bit image performance

The CV-420 is designed for integrations where space at the optical point is critical, such as microscopy and embedded imaging systems. Its remote head architecture separates a compact 4K sensor block from the processing unit, delivering native 4Kp60 10-bit imaging within the Enciris software environment.

Native Ultra HD 4Kp60 video capture with 10-bit color depth
Advanced auto-exposure and de-noise processing for consistent image quality
Compact remote head form factor for tight spaces and embedded systems
Standard C-Mount/CS-Mount lens compatibility
Designed for 24/7 continuous operation in demanding environments

Software

Shared across the CV-400 series: a common 4K imaging pipeline with exposure, color and enhancement controls. The CV-420 integrates through the Enciris software environment — Windows and Linux, SDK and REST API, reference clients in Go, C++ and Python, CLI — while the CV-440 operates fully standalone with touchscreen control.
