The Imaging Source DFM 36CX296-ML Color FPD-Link III Board Camera

Highlights

The Imaging Source DFM 36CX296-ML Color FPD-Link III Board Camera is a compact 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 systems requiring greater distance between the camera and processor, the DFM 36CX296-ML uses an FPD-Link III interface with a FAKRA connector. The 36C platform supports cable lengths up to 15 m and provides external trigger and configurable I/O functionality for synchronized color imaging applications.
