Infrared wavefront sensors are now implemented in MCAO systems as reference (or truth sensors). After the successful development of C-RED One, the only commercial 320×256 3500 fps e-APD sub-e noise infrared camera, First Light Imaging developed the C-RED 2 InGaAs 640×512 fast camera with unprecedented performances in terms of noise, dark and readout speed based on the SNAKE SWIR detector from Sofradir. The C-RED 2 characteristics and performances at 600 fps are fully described in this paper. The C-RED2 development is supported by the "Investments in the future" program and the Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur Region, in the frame of the CPER.
