01What is being requested

Universiteit Twente has requested a camera for high-resolution, high-speed, low-noise recording via Supplies – Negotiated procedure without publication (TenderNed 390737). There is no competition and the contract can be awarded directly to Acal BFi. The specifications require, among other things, a 1.3 MP resolution, ≥31k fps global shutter, very low dark noise, high ISO and quantum efficiency, 12-bit recording, compatibility with F- and C-mount, various mounting screws, dimensions ≤300 × 200 × 200 mm, monochrome, temperature range 0–30 °C, >100 GB memory, various trigger interfaces and USB-C/ethernet connectivity. The system must integrate with PFV4 software for automatic calibration.

UT takes the position that the contract can be awarded directly to Acal BFi due to the absence of competition for technical reasons within the meaning of Article 2.32 paragraph 1 sub b bullet 2 Public Procurement Act 2012. According to UT, there is also no reasonable alternative or substitute within the meaning of Article 2.32 paragraph 3 Public Procurement Act 2012 that can meet the reasonable requirements of UT, as stated below: Requirements -The camera should have at least 1.3 megapixel resolution (1280*1024) such that a large number of length-scales can be resolved. -The camera should have

06Frequently asked questions

What technical specifications must the camera meet?
The camera must have a minimum resolution of 1.3 megapixels (1280*1024), a recording rate of at least 31k fps at full resolution with a global shutter, and a 12-bit recording mode. Additionally, a monochrome version without a Bayer filter is required.
What requirements are made regarding light sensitivity and noise?
The camera must have a temporal dark noise of 7e- or better. For sensitivity, an ISO of 40,000 or higher and a quantum efficiency of 57% or better is required to observe high-speed events with minimal amounts of light.
What are the requirements regarding storage and connectivity?
The system must have a memory of more than 100 GB for long-duration recordings. For data transfer, the camera must use a USB-C or ethernet connection.
What compatibility is required for hardware and software?
The camera must be compatible with F- and C-mount optics and the PFV4 software for programming, operation, and image calibration (such as black calibration or shading calibration). For external hardware, TTL, Sync in/out, and SW IN signals are required.
What are the physical and operational limitations of the camera?
The dimensions of the camera may not exceed 300 mm * 200 mm * 200 mm. The device must be able to operate in a temperature range between 0 and 30 degrees Celsius.
