Sony Starvis IMX485 – 8.41 MP CMOS Sensor for Surveillance and Industrial Applications

The Sony IMX485LQJ1-C is a high-performance CMOS image sensor designed for applications such as surveillance, factory automation (FA), and industrial cameras. With a diagonal size of 12.8 mm (Type 1/1.2 inch) and 8.42 million effective pixels, this sensor offers exceptional image quality in both bright and low-light environments. Thanks to Sony’s STARVIS technology, the IMX485LQJ1-C ensures high sensitivity, low dark current, and minimal smear, making it ideal for capturing clear images even in challenging lighting conditions.

The sensor features a resolution of 3864 x 2176 pixels and a pixel size of 2.9 x 2.9 μm, allowing for excellent light sensitivity and high-quality image capture. With an electronic shutter and variable charge-integration time, the sensor provides precise control over exposure, which is essential for dynamic lighting conditions. The IMX485LQJ1-C supports up to 60 frames per second (fps), making it suitable for real-time imaging applications. Additionally, the sensor is equipped with anti-reflective (AR) coating to minimize light reflections, enhancing overall image clarity.

Key features of the IMX485LQJ1-C include:

• 8.42 MP resolution (3864 x 2176)
• 2.9 x 2.9 μm pixel size for enhanced low-light performance
• Electronic shutter with variable charge-integration time
• High-speed frame rate of 60 fps for real-time imaging
• High sensitivity and low dark current for improved image quality
• Triple power supply (2.9V, 1.2V, 1.8V) for efficient power consumption
• AR coating to reduce reflections and improve clarity
• Rolling shutter for smooth image capture

This sensor is particularly well-suited for surveillance cameras, where high sensitivity is required for nighttime or low-light conditions.
