Product Overview

Sony Pregius CMOS Global Shutter Exmor Sensor: The color version of the 12.37 MP sensor offers the same 4112 x 3008 resolution with polarized capabilities, operating at 68.3 fps. With LVDS data output and LGA 226 pins, it delivers accurate color representation, making it perfect for applications requiring high-quality polarized imaging in dynamic environments.

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.
