The Imaging Source DFM 36SR0234-ML Color MIPI CSI-2 Board Camera
Highlights
The Imaging Source DFM 36SR0234-ML Color MIPI CSI-2 Board Camera is a compact 2.3 MP embedded vision camera built around the onsemi AR0234 CMOS sensor. It captures 1,920 × 1,200 color images at up to 120 fps with 3.0 µm pixels and a global shutter.
Designed for compact embedded and OEM vision systems, the camera uses a 22-pin MIPI CSI-2 FFC interface compatible with NVIDIA Orin, NXP i.MX 8M Plus and Raspberry Pi 5 platforms. Its 30 × 30 × 6 mm board-level design, 4 g mass, trigger input, strobe output and optional M12x0.5 lens mount provide flexible integration into high-speed color machine-vision systems.
