Product Overview

Sony Pregius CMOS Global Shutter Exmor Sensor: This 12.37 MP monochrome sensor with polarization offers a resolution of 4112 x 3008 and operates at 68.3 fps. Featuring a pixel size of 3.45 x 3.45 µm, it is well-suited for high-precision imaging. It uses LVDS interface technology and comes in an LGA 226-pin package, making it ideal for specialized industrial vision systems.

The IMX253MYR-C is a color CMOS sensor featuring Sony's Polarsens™ on-chip polarization technology. This 12.37 MP sensor, with a 1.1-inch format and 3.45 µm pixel pitch, incorporates a four-directional polarizer on the photodiode layer, enabling advanced imaging techniques for challenging conditions. The sensor supports frame rates of up to 64 fps at 10-bit resolution and captures sharp, distortion-free images with its global shutter. It is ideal for industrial automation, robotics, and applications where polarization aids in revealing hidden details.
