IUA Series

Product Introduction

The IUA series is designed for general industrial inspection and scientific imaging, with resolution coverage from 0.39MP to 45MP. It provides multiple models from small to large sensor formats, offering global shutter (GS) or rolling shutter (RS) solutions by application, as well as visible light, Near-Infrared (NIR) and ultraviolet (UV) specialized wavelength models (depending on model).

For transmission and synchronization, IUA primarily uses USB3.0 for real-time acquisition, with some models providing 10GigE for long-distance and high-bandwidth transmission. The camera body is equipped with 7-Pin I/O (optically isolated input/output + configurable GPIO), facilitating coordination with trigger sources, light sources, motion control and other peripherals.

The software ecosystem is comprehensive, including ToupView software and cross-platform SDK (Windows / Linux / macOS), compatible with DirectShow / TWAIN and other third-party interfaces for secondary development and system integration.

Product Features

  • Resolution coverage 0.39–45MP, suitable for multiple scenarios (depending on model)
  • Wavelength coverage includes visible light / NIR / UV, with specialized wavelength models (depending on model)
  • Shutter types: Global shutter (GS) or rolling shutter (RS) (depending on model)
  • Data interface: USB3.0; some models support 10GigE for long-distance high-speed transmission
  • Rich I/O: 7-Pin industrial-grade interface, OPTO_IN/OPTO_OUT optical isolation + configurable GPIO
  • Supports hardware trigger / software trigger / free-running acquisition modes
  • Supports ROI, digital binning (2×2/3×3/4×4 depending on model), precise bandwidth and frame rate control
  • Some models feature built-in buffer memory to improve high-speed transmission stability
  • Naming convention includes C (color) / M (monochrome) identification for quick model selection
  • Provides ToupView imaging software and cross-platform SDK, supports Windows / Linux / macOS and DirectShow / TWAIN
  • Available in complete camera and bare board (OEM) structural sizes for easy embedded and system integration

Advanced sensor technology platform

Powered by industry-leading Sony Pregius/Pregius S and Gpixel BSI sensors, the IUA Series spans visible through ultraviolet and near-infrared wavelengths. The back-illuminated architecture maximizes photon collection, keeping dark current as low as 0.03–0.3 e-/s/pix for clean low-light imaging. From high-speed low-resolution models to ultra-high-resolution 45 MP variants, the sensor portfolio meets precise imaging needs across diverse applications.

Global shutter high-speed imaging

Selected models feature global shutter technology that eliminates smear and distortion during fast motion, ideal for industrial inspection and motion analysis. Resolutions from 2 MP to 8 MP deliver triple-digit frame rates, while ROI and binning modes push performance even further. Minimum 6 µs exposures capture split-second dynamics, supporting high-throughput production lines and motion tracking.

Specialty spectral imaging solutions

Purpose-built optical designs make the IUA Series exceptional for specialty wavelength detection. UV models remove protective glass to boost ultraviolet response, while NIR versions leverage sensor optimization and coatings to raise near-infrared quantum efficiency beyond 90%. This broad spectral coverage supports semiconductor defect inspection, biomedical fluorescence imaging, security monitoring, and more—reducing system complexity with a single versatile platform.

Industrial interfaces and reliability

Comprehensive industrial I/O includes opto-isolated trigger inputs/outputs, strobe outputs, and programmable GPIO via robust 7-pin aviation connectors. USB 3.0 models support bus power; GigE configurations add dedicated 12 V inputs for flexible installation. Anodized metal housings, vibration-resistant connectors, and rigorous environmental validation ensure dependable long-term operation in harsh industrial environments.

Complete software ecosystem

The series integrates with ToupView software and SDKs across Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android, offering APIs for C/C++, C#/VB.NET, Python, DirectShow, and TWAIN. Developers gain access to real-time control of exposure, gain, white balance, HDR, LUT, and event triggers, enabling rapid integration into vision systems, automation platforms, and research instrumentation.
