The Imaging Source DFM 36CX335-ML Color FPD-Link III Board Camera

Highlights

The Imaging Source DFM 36CX335-ML Color FPD-Link III Board Camera is a compact 5 MP embedded vision camera built around the Sony IMX335 STARVIS CMOS sensor. It captures 2,592 × 1,944 color images at up to 30 fps with 2.0 µm pixels and a rolling shutter.

Designed for embedded vision systems requiring extended distance between the camera and processor, the DFM 36CX335-ML uses an FPD-Link III interface in a compact 30 × 30 × 27.5 mm board-level form factor. Its 12-bit and 10-bit Bayer output modes provide flexible high-resolution color imaging for embedded vision applications.
