The Imaging Source DFK 36CX296-I67 Color IP67 FPD-Link III Camera

Highlights

The Imaging Source DFK 36CX296-I67 Color IP67 FPD-Link III Camera is a rugged 1.6 MP embedded vision camera built around the Sony IMX296 Pregius CMOS sensor. It captures 1,440 × 1,080 color images at up to 60 fps with 3.45 µm pixels and a global shutter.

Designed for embedded vision applications in demanding environments, the DFK 36CX296-I67 combines FPD-Link III connectivity with an IP6K6- and IP6K7-compliant housing. Its compact 36 × 36 × 60.3 mm enclosure supports synchronized global-shutter imaging and extended camera-to-processor installations.
