4K HDR Lenses
Compact and Lightweight HDR Wide Angle Lenses
* Production-ready designs
Navitar has developed a family of high resolution lenses for demanding imaging applications such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and autonomous vehicle (AV) forward-facing camera systems. Multiple fields of view are offered for 1/2", 2/3" and 1" sensor formats.
Navitar's 4K HDR lenses are produced with state-of-the-art multi-layer anti-reflection coatings, a built-in infra-red rejection filter and ultra low reflectance internal mechanics for excellent veiling glare characteristics.
Navitar's 4K compact, lightweight HDR wide angle lenses offer superior stray light rejection down to 1E-5 while maximizing MTF at the Nyquist frequency of small pixel sensors.
Operating in the visible or VIS/NIR waveband at apertures up to F/1.8, these new lenses are environmentally robust and perform at military grade temperature ranges of -20°C to +80°C.
Additional features and lens options:
-
IP67 sealing for use in water depths up to 1 meter
-
Optional iris or dual position electronic shutters allow precise control of exposure levels for day/night imagery.
Maximum performance is obtained by automated lens-sensor alignment, creating robust camera modules that can survive hostile environments and deliver superior image quality.

Apidae Narrow M12 & Imaging Modules
The compact and lightweight Navitar Apidae Lens is part of the high resolution 4K HDR product line developed for demanding imaging applications. Available as a lens only solution, integrated with a Pixelink Camera, or actively aligned to custom sensor technology, these imaging modules are the ideal solution for low SWAP applications.
Key Features
- Ultra-Low Stray Light & Secondary Reflections
- Produced with advanced multilayer anti-reflection coatings, optional infrared rejection filters and low internal reflectance mechanics to reduce veiling glare, flare, and ghost artifacts.
- Ruggedized Opto-Mechanics
- All glass and metal construction, combined with a unique mechanical design to withstand shock and vibration ensures durability in challenging environments. IP67 sealing and hydrophobic coating options available to further improve performance.
- Active Sensor Alignment Ready
- Customization options to support high volume automated lens to sensor active alignment. Ensures accurate, cost-effective production of high resolution, precision camera modules for OEM integration.
- Precision Athermalization
- Engineered for challenging environments across extreme temperature ranges. Lens maintains consistent focus and optical alignment without the need for refocusing making it ideal for mission critical applications

Our HDR lenses were designed specifically to meet the demanding requirements of autonomous vehicles. They offer excellent results in terms of image quality, athermalization and ghosting.
Additional applications include:
