75fps SXGA CMOS-based camera module is GigE-compliant
Designed as a replacement for cameras using the Sony ICX445 CCD sensor, the first modules to be announced use the GigE standard, running at 75 8-bit colour or black/white frames per second in SXGA resolution. Black/white modules are available immediately and colour modules will enter mass production in December 2017.
A USB 3.0 module, Sony’s first, is also scheduled to enter mass production by Q1 2018. Targeted at a wide array of markets – from print, robotics and inspection to ITS, medical and logistics, as well as being suitable for general imaging, the XCG-CG160 provides a simple migration path from CCD to GSCMOS without necessarily having to upgrade or change architecture. The IMX273 shares comparable sensor and pixel size characteristics with the ICX445, but offers huge technological improvements in sensitivity, dynamic range, noise reduction and frame rate capability. The camera module features defect-pixel correction, shading correction with both peak and average detection and area gain to automatically adjust for the target object. Additionally the module supports 2×2 multi-region of interest, flip and binning. Furthermore, its asynchronous image transfer enables a memory shot and output upon user demand, and its broadcast register write function enables synchronised camera feature controls to be implemented.
