Product Overview

Sony Pregius CMOS Global Shutter Exmor, 5.07 MP: This 5 MP sensor with a polarized color filter features a 2464 x 2056 resolution and 163.4 fps capture rate, perfect for high-speed imaging with enhanced saturation and high frame rate for demanding industrial tasks.

The IMX250MYR-C is a 5.07 MP CMOS sensor that features an integrated four-directional polarizer, allowing it to capture polarization data in a single shot. This sensor supports global shutter for distortion-free imaging and has a pixel size of 3.45 µm with a 2/3-inch format. Its high frame rate of 163.4 fps and LVDS interface make it suitable for applications like 3D scanning, reflection removal, and robotic vision. The polarization capability enhances imaging in complex lighting conditions, providing more data for precise analysis.
