What the IMX304 fixes, and what the camera adds

Every camera on this page names the IMX304 in its sensor model row. The sensor fixes the image itself: 4096 × 3000 pixels (12 MP) at a 3.45 µm pixel size on a 1.1" format, read with a global shutter. Twelve megapixels with a global shutter covers large fields with parts in motion; the 1.1" format needs a lens made for that image circle, not a 2/3" or 1" lens. A few models print a slightly different active resolution or format label; the product page of each model is the reference. What differs between the listed models is the interface, the maximum frame rate, mono or colour output, the housing and the I/O, so compare those rows on the product pages.

  • Lens: the image circle has to cover the 1.1" format and the lens has to resolve 3.45 µm pixels. Check the lens mount printed for the selected model before choosing the lens.
  • Motion: a global shutter exposes all pixels at the same time, so moving parts are imaged without skew; set the exposure time from the part speed and the blur you can accept.
  • Interface: the listed models currently offer USB3, GigE and Camera Link. 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.
