The Imaging Source DMM 36CX290-ML Monochrome FPD-Link III Board Camera

Highlights

The Imaging Source DMM 36CX290-ML Monochrome FPD-Link III Board Camera is a compact 2.1 MP embedded vision camera built around the Sony IMX290 STARVIS CMOS sensor. It captures 1,920 × 1,080 monochrome images at up to 60 fps with 2.9 µm pixels and a rolling shutter.

Designed for embedded vision systems requiring greater distance between the camera and processor, the DMM 36CX290-ML uses an FPD-Link III interface with a FAKRA connector. The compact 30 × 30 × 27.5 mm board module supports extended camera-to-host cable distances and provides configurable general-purpose I/O for embedded integration.
