Description

The Sony IMX183CLK-J is a powerful CMOS image sensor that meets the growing demand for high-resolution imaging in industrial applications. With approximately 20.48 million effective pixels and a compact 2.4 µm pixel size, this sensor delivers exceptional image clarity and speed, making it ideal for applications such as industrial inspection, security, and 4K video production. The IMX183CLK-J also supports both monochrome and color options, providing flexibility for different use cases.

One of the standout features of the IMX183CLK-J is its ability to support multiple readout modes. This includes a 12-bit high-resolution mode for capturing fine details and a 10-bit high-speed mode that achieves frame rates up to 59.94 frames per second at 4K resolution (4096H × 2160V). These options make the sensor versatile, capable of handling both high-resolution still imaging and high-speed video output. The sensor also includes a global reset function and vertical arbitrary cropping, which enhances its usability in real-time image processing systems.

Here are some of the key features of the IMX183CLK-J:

  • 20.48M effective pixels for high-resolution imaging
  • Back-illuminated structure with 2.4 µm pixel size for enhanced sensitivity
  • 4K video support (4096H × 2160V) at 59.94 fps in 10-bit mode
  • Global reset function to reduce rolling shutter distortion
  • Vertical arbitrary cropping for flexible image capture

In addition to its imaging capabilities, the IMX183CLK-J supports a variety of interfaces, including Sub-LVDS, which allows for fast data transmission of up to 576 Mbps per channel. The high-speed readout options make it ideal for capturing fast-moving subjects with high precision, which is crucial in industrial inspection and real-time monitoring systems. Moreover, its compatibility with C-mount lenses ensures that it can be easily integrated into existing systems without requiring extensive modifications.

Overall, the IMX183CLK-J is a robust solution for industries requiring high-speed, high-resolution imaging. Its combination of high sensitivity, flexible readout modes, and advanced features like 4K video support and global reset make it an ideal choice for applications that demand both image clarity and speed.
