Camera Uniformity test - KT Mini Sphere

The KT Mini Sphere is a uniform light source and integral intensity detector  based on the integrated sphere concept. Combined with precise current amps and photodiodes for internal adjustment it is  capable of accurate intensity and color correlated temperature (CCT) control. The KT-Mini-Sphere can also reperesent light with different intensities. With our calibration and adjustment procedure we are able to allow nearly step less dimming (16bit resolution of current amps)  as well as calibrations for different CCTs.

Capabilities

Uniformity

The KT-Mini-Sphere offers a very uniform intensity and color correlated temperature over the lens. This makes the device the perfect solution for image sensors tests like shading, blemish and blur detection

Adjustable Intensity and multiple CCTs

The KT-Mini-Sphere is capable of representing light with different intensities. With our calibration and adjustment procedure we are able to allow nearly step less dimming (16bit resolution of current amps) and also it’s possible to request the KT-Mini-Sphere calibrated for different CCTs.

Connectors

The device is equipped with two Phoenix connectors. One for Bus communication and power supply, the other one for measurement of the photodiode analog value.
