I3CMOS Series

Product Introduction

The I3CMOS Series is designed for high-speed machine vision, automated inspection, and scientific imaging applications. It features high-performance CMOS sensors from Sony and other manufacturers, with resolutions ranging from 0.5 to 20.4 MP and sensor formats from 1/2.9″ to 1.1″. The series offers both global shutter (GS) and high frame rate solutions (including rolling shutter RS models) based on application requirements, delivering clear, low-smear images even with high-speed motion and low-texture targets.

The system emphasizes compact design, low power consumption, and long-term stable operation. It provides USB3.0, GigE, and CoaXPress high-speed interfaces (model-dependent), supporting multiple bit depth outputs and bandwidth control to accommodate different cable lengths and acquisition bandwidth requirements. The built-in hardware ISP performs real-time processing including Demosaic, AE/AGC, AWB, Gamma/LUT at the camera level. The system supports free-running, software/hardware trigger, and multi-camera synchronization. I/O provides opto-isolated trigger/flash control and programmable GPIO for coordination with light sources, motion platforms, and other peripherals.

The series includes ToupView and cross-platform SDK (Windows/Linux/macOS; C/C++/C#/Python, etc.), compatible with DirectShow/TWAIN for easy system integration and secondary development.

In-depth Product Overview

Precision global-shutter CMOS platform

Leveraging Sony Pregius, Pregius S, and Gpixel global-shutter CMOS sensors, the I3CMOS Series offers 2.74 µm to 4.5 µm pixel sizes that balance sensitivity, noise, and spatial detail. High quantum efficiency and low-dark-current designs deliver crisp imagery in low-light and high-contrast environments, supporting demanding inspection and metrology tasks.

High-speed USB 3.0 imaging pipeline

USB 3.0 bandwidth supports 12-bit output with frame rates up to 132 fps at full resolution on select models. Optional GigE and 10GigE variants extend coverage to long-distance deployments while maintaining deterministic throughput. Programmable Region of Interest (ROI) and high-speed binning further boost frame rate for motion analysis.

Hardware ISP with multi-bit output

Onboard hardware executes real-time demosaic, automatic exposure, gain control, white balance, and gamma/LUT adjustments before data leaves the camera. Selectable 8-bit/10-bit/12-bit depth and programmable bandwidth control ensure optimal integration across vision controllers, embedded platforms, and edge AI systems.

Robust industrial design

The 38×38×33 mm metal chassis dissipates heat efficiently while weighing under 110 g. Operating temperatures span -10 to 50 °C with 20%–80% relative humidity (non-condensing). Opto-isolated trigger and flash outputs plus programmable GPIO lines enable precise synchronization with motion controllers, strobe lighting, and conveyors.

Extensive software and SDK support

Bundled ToupView software and cross-platform SDKs support Windows, Linux, and macOS with APIs for C/C++, C#/VB.NET, Python, DirectShow, and TWAIN. Comprehensive documentation, sample code, and diagnostic tools accelerate system integration for machine vision, automation, and research workflows.
