New models in the ZENITH 100GigE (HZ) Camera Series
Emergent Vision Technologies releases five new ZENITH 100GigE cameras based on new Sony sensors.
New cameras based on Sony IMX927, IMX928, IMX929, IMX947 and IMX949 sensors provide up to 105MP and more than 800 frames per second for industrial automation, medical, entertainment and sports applications.
Port Coquitlam, BC –September 30, 2025—Emergent Vision Technologies today announced five new models in the ZENITH 100GigE (HZ) camera series, designed to set new benchmarks in speed and resolution.
The cameras are based on Sony’s September 30, 2025 announcement of the Pregius S IMX927, IMX928, IMX929, IMX947 and IMX 949 sensors. Cameras based on these new sensors will be available from Q4 of 2025 through Q3 2026, depending on which sensor is used.*
| Model | Sensor | Resolution | Framerate |
|---|---|---|---|
| HZ-100-SB | IMX927 | 105MP | Up to 112fps |
| HZ-65000-SB | IMX928 | 68MP | Uo to 138fps |
| HZ-50000-SB | IMX929 | 50MP | Up to 225fps |
| HZ-25000-SBS | IMX947 | 26MP | Up to 423fps |
| HZ-12000-SBS | IMX949 | 12MP | Up to 811fps |
Like all Emergent GigE cameras, these new ZENITH models will be fully RDMA and GigE Vision 3.0 compliant.
“Customer demand for greater speed and resolution drives our development in the ZENITH 100GigE camera series. We have customers looking for those characteristics in fields as different as industrial automation, medical imaging, volumetric capture and sports,” says John Ilett, President and Founder of Emergent Vision Technologies.
“These five new ZENITH models build on our track record in providing 100GigE camera systems—we’ve been shipping 100GigE for more than four years. We’re using the newest Sony sensors to meet customer demand for higher speed inspection and medical imaging applications, where analysis is performed in real-time. We expect high usage in the entertainment and sports worlds as well. These cameras can provide highly realistic video in volumetric 4D applications or capture athletes at full-speed from multiple angles with unequalled realism,” says Ilett.
The HZ-25000-SBS and HZ-12000-SBS are designed for applications where higher sensitivity is required. They use the IMX947 and IMX949 sensors, which have larger cell sizes of 5.48 x 5.48μm, which can collect more light per pixel. Collecting more light improves performance in low-light or high-speed conditions. In industrial inspection, users will experience faster imaging with reduced motion blur, which provides more reliable quality inspection capabilities.

Emergent releases new ZENITH 100GigE camera models
The five newest ZENITH 100GigE camera models provide up to 105MP and up to 811 frames per second. The key focus of these new cameras is industrial automation, where inspection tasks now require higher speed and resolution cameras to conduct 2D and 3D quality control imaging. All of these new cameras are RDMA and GigE Vision 3.0 compliant.
Data capture, processing and transfer for 100GigE cameras
What do you do with the enormous amounts of video data generated by multiple 100 GigE cameras? The key thing to know is that there is a scalable software and hardware infrastructure to support multi-camera systems that will not drop frames.
Emergent’s eCapture Pro and eSDK Pro have built-in zero-copy and GPUDirect imaging technologies. GPUDirect is an NVIDIA technology that allows high-speed, low latency transfer of imaging data from the camera through a network interface card (NIC) to a graphics processing unit (GPU), or from storage to a GPU. Zero-copy technology sends imaging data direct to processing units within a system, avoiding the use of unnecessary memory buffers than can cause frame drops.
The result is an extremely low-latency, low-jitter path from a data source such as 100 GigE cameras to the powerful processing capabilities of a GPU. Scaling out a system simply involves adding more processing and storage hardware to the system. Those hardware components are user-controlled with the FlexProc and FlexTrans tools that are built into eCapture Pro and eSDK Pro. The user chooses which nodes in their imaging system capture, process and transfer data using FlexProc and FlexTrans.
