The Imaging Source DFM 36CX297-ML Color FPD-Link III Board Camera

Highlights

The Imaging Source DFM 36CX297-ML Color FPD-Link III Board Camera is a compact 0.4 MP embedded vision camera built around the Sony IMX297 Pregius CMOS sensor. It captures 720 × 540 color images at up to 120 fps with 6.9 µm pixels and a global shutter.

Designed for embedded vision systems requiring greater distance between the camera and processor, the DFM 36CX297-ML uses an FPD-Link III interface with a FAKRA connector. Its compact 30 × 30 × 27.5 mm design also provides external trigger and configurable I/O functionality for synchronized color imaging applications.
