Product Summary

The IMX571BQR-J is a 26.02 MP color CMOS sensor offering 48 fps frame rates and vivid imaging for industrial and security systems.

The Sony IMX571BQR-J is a high-resolution CMOS image sensor designed for professional-grade security and surveillance applications. With a diagonal size of 28.3 mm (Type 1.8 inch) and 26.11 million effective pixels, this sensor provides exceptional image clarity, even in challenging environments. Its large pixel count and advanced features make it ideal for capturing detailed images in security and industrial monitoring systems.

This sensor offers a resolution of 6244 x 4168 pixels and incorporates a pixel size of 3.76 x 3.76 μm, which enhances light sensitivity and delivers sharp, clear images. The IMX571BQR-J includes a 36 dB programmable gain amplifier (PGA) and a 16-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, ensuring a high dynamic range and precise image capture. In still picture mode, the sensor supports 16-bit output at a speed of 6.84 frames per second (fps), allowing for detailed image capture. Additionally, the sensor can output 12-bit digital data at a high-speed frame rate for 4K video recording via window readout mode, making it suitable for high-definition video surveillance.

Key features of the IMX571BQR-J include:

  • 26.11 MP resolution (6244 x 4168)
  • 3.76 x 3.76 μm pixel size for enhanced low-light performance
  • 16-bit A/D converter for high dynamic range
  • Supports 6.84 fps at 16-bit output in still picture mode
  • High-speed 12-bit output for 4K video in window readout mode
  • SLVS-EC interface for fast data transmission
  • LGA ceramic package with 184 pins for durable and reliable integration

The IMX571BQR-J is particularly well-suited for security applications, where its high resolution and sensitivity enable clear image capture, even in low-light or night-time conditions. Its ability to output high-speed 4K video makes it ideal for real-time monitoring and surveillance systems. The sensor’s large pixel size enhances light-gathering capability, ensuring high-quality images in both well-lit and dim environments.

The sensor's SLVS-EC interface allows for efficient data transmission, making it suitable for modern high-performance imaging systems that require fast and reliable data handling. The LGA ceramic package ensures durability and stability, making it well-suited for long-term use in demanding industrial or security environments.

The Sony IMX571BQR-J offers a combination of high resolution, fast frame rates, and superior low-light performance, making it a powerful solution for a range of security, industrial, and high-definition imaging applications. Its advanced features make it the ideal choice for capturing detailed images in both still and video formats, providing reliable and accurate imaging for any demanding application.
