The Imaging Source DFM 36CX390-ML Color FPD-Link III Board Camera

Highlights

The Imaging Source DFM 36CX390-ML Color FPD-Link III Board Camera is a compact 2.3 MP embedded vision camera built around the Sony IMX390 CMOS sensor. It captures 1,920 × 1,200 color images at up to 50 fps with 3.0 µm pixels and a rolling shutter.

The DFM 36CX390-ML combines 12-bit Bayer color output with PWL HDR capability for embedded imaging applications requiring detailed acquisition across challenging lighting conditions. Its FPD-Link III interface, FAKRA connection and compact 30 × 30 × 27.5 mm form factor support extended-distance camera-to-processor installations.
