Product Summary

The IMX294CJK-C is a 10.71 MP Starvis CMOS sensor, designed for high-resolution color imaging at 60 fps with a rolling shutter and multi-output interface.

The Sony IMX294CJK-C is a high-performance CMOS image sensor featuring Sony’s STARVIS back-illuminated technology, designed for applications requiring high-resolution imaging and exceptional low-light performance. With a diagonal size of 4/3 inch and 10.71 million effective pixels, this sensor is ideal for industrial, security, and surveillance applications where detailed, high-quality images are critical. The STARVIS technology enhances the sensor’s sensitivity to both visible and near-infrared light, making it effective in low-light environments.

The IMX294CJK-C offers a resolution of 3792 x 2824 pixels and features a large pixel size of 4.63 x 4.63 μm, delivering excellent light-gathering capabilities for clearer and more detailed images in low-light conditions. The sensor employs a rolling shutter mechanism and supports up to 60 frames per second (fps), making it suitable for applications requiring real-time, high-speed imaging. The IMX294CJK-C’s MULTI output interface allows for flexible data transmission, ensuring fast and efficient image processing, while the robust ceramic LGA package with 248 pins ensures durability and reliable integration.

Key features of the IMX294CJK-C include:

  • 10.71 MP resolution (3792 x 2824)
  • Large 4.63 x 4.63 μm pixel size for superior low-light performance
  • Rolling shutter for smooth image capture
  • High-speed frame rate of 60 fps for real-time imaging
  • STARVIS technology for enhanced low-light sensitivity
  • MULTI output interface for flexible data transmission
  • Durable LGA ceramic package with 248 pins for reliable system integration

The IMX294CJK-C is particularly well-suited for security cameras, video surveillance, and industrial imaging applications. Its high sensitivity and large pixel size make it an excellent choice for nighttime surveillance or environments with limited lighting. The rolling shutter ensures smooth video capture, even in fast-moving scenes, while the high frame rate of 60 fps allows for real-time imaging, making it ideal for applications requiring quick, accurate image capture.

With its advanced STARVIS technology, the IMX294CJK-C excels in low-light conditions, delivering clear and detailed images in both visible and near-infrared spectrums. The large 4.63 μm pixel size improves light-gathering capabilities, ensuring high-quality images even in dim environments. The sensor’s MULTI output interface enables fast and reliable data transmission, facilitating integration into high-performance imaging systems.

The Sony IMX294CJK-C’s combination of STARVIS technology, high resolution, and excellent low-light performance makes it a powerful solution for a wide range of security, surveillance, and industrial imaging applications. Whether used in high-definition video recording, security monitoring, or industrial inspections, this sensor provides the sensitivity, speed, and reliability needed for today’s demanding imaging systems.
