U3V-CAM-IMX296, USB3 Vision Industrial Camera IMX296 1.58MP Monochrome Global Shutter, 1456×1088@60FPS, GenICam Compliant, Hardware Trigger & Strobe, Arbitrary ROI

Description U3V-CAM-IMX296 The U3V-CAM-IMX296 is a high-performance USB3 Vision industrial camera featuring the Sony IMX296LLR (monochrome) global shutter CMOS sensor. With a resolution of 1.58 MP (1456 × 1088) and a full-resolution frame rate of 60 fps, it provides reliable, distortion-free imaging for demanding machine-vision applications such as motion analysis, automation, robotics, and scientific imaging. The camera is 100% compliant with USB3 Vision v1.0 and GenICam 3.x standards, offering plug-and-play compatibility across all major software platforms. Key Features   Sony IMX296 Global Shutter Sensor: 1/2.9″ CMOS sensor with 3.45 µm pixels, ensuring zero rolling distortion. High Frame Rate: Up to 60 fps at full resolution (1456 x 1088); exceeds 1900 fps with reduced ROI. True Analog Gain: 0–48 dB range with 0.1 dB steps for extremely low-noise imaging. Long Exposure: Supports manual shutter with true long-exposure capability (≥ 15 seconds). Precise Synchronization: Opto-isolated hardware trigger (5–24V) and strobe output with 0.1 µs hardware timestamping. Industrial Design: USB 3.0 bus-powered, compact form factor, and on-board temperature monitoring. Standard Compliance: Fully compatible with any GenICam-compliant software without proprietary patches.
