What the IMX178 fixes, and what the camera adds

Every camera on this page names the IMX178 in its sensor model row. The sensor fixes the image itself: 3072 × 2048 pixels (6.3 MP) at a 2.4 µm pixel size on a 1/1.8" format, read with a rolling shutter. As a board-level camera it brings 6.3 MP on a 1/1.8" format into instruments, kiosks and embedded devices where a housed camera does not fit. What differs between the listed models is the interface, the maximum frame rate, mono or colour output, the board layout and the I/O, so compare those rows on the product pages.

  • Lens: the image circle has to cover the 1/1.8" format and the lens has to resolve 2.4 µm pixels. Check the lens holder or mount printed for the selected board before choosing the lens.
  • Motion: a rolling shutter reads the rows one after another, so keep the part still during the exposure or freeze it with a short strobe; for parts moving under continuous light choose a global-shutter sensor.
  • Interface: the listed models currently offer USB3 and GigE. Choose by cable length, data rate and the host, then compare the printed maximum frame rate, which depends on the interface as well as on the sensor.
