The Imaging Source DFK 38GX304-a Color GigE PoE Industrial Camera

Highlights

The Imaging Source DFK 38GX304-a Color GigE PoE Industrial Camera is a 12.3 MP machine-vision camera built around the Sony IMX304 Pregius CMOS sensor. It captures 4,096 × 3,000 color images at up to 9 fps with 3.45 µm pixels and a global shutter.

Designed for industrial inspection and automation, the DFK 38GX304-a combines GigE Vision connectivity, Power over Ethernet, external trigger and strobe I/O, and a C-mount optical interface in a robust 29 × 44 × 75 mm housing. Its 1.1-inch global-shutter sensor provides a large imaging area for high-resolution color machine-vision applications.
