Product Overview

The IMX455ALK-K is a high-resolution 61.04 MP CMOS sensor for professional and industrial imaging, offering 8K video output and excellent image detail.

The Sony Starvis IMX455ALK-K is a high-resolution CMOS image sensor with 61.04 MP, designed for high-quality image capture in industrial, scientific, and professional photography applications. The sensor features a diagonal 43.3 mm (Type 2.7) optical format and a square pixel array of 9568 x 6380 pixels. With its rolling shutter and 16-bit A/D converter, this sensor provides stunning detail and color accuracy. The IMX455ALK-K operates with three power supplies: analog 3.3 V, digital 1.2 V, and interface 1.8 V, ensuring efficient power consumption. It supports 8K video output at 30 fps and 4K video at 60 fps, making it ideal for high-resolution moving picture applications. The sensor also incorporates an SLVS-EC interface and is housed in a 294-pin LGA package. Its high dynamic range and fast frame rates make it perfect for professional-grade cameras, scientific imaging, and large-scale surveillance systems.
