Lumenera/Teledyne LT1245RM 12MP Global Shutter CMOS Camera, Sony IMX253 Sensor, USB 3.1 Gen 1, 44x44x61mm, C-Mount, Industrial Vision-Ready

Quick Overview
12MP USB 3.1 Gen 1 global shutter camera with Sony IMX253 CMOS sensor. 4112x3008 res, 30 fps, 128MB buffer, FPGA-optimized, 74 dB dynamic range, 44x44x61mm, locking I/O, C-Mount, SDK for Win/Linux.

The Lumenera/Teledyne LT1245RM is a high-performance 12 Megapixel monochrome camera engineered with Sony’s advanced Pregius® IMX253 1.1" global shutter CMOS sensor, delivering outstanding image fidelity, low noise, and fast throughput for demanding machine vision applications. With a resolution of 4112 x 3008 pixels and ~30 fps at full resolution, this USB 3.1 Gen 1 camera enables rapid and precise image acquisition in critical environments.

Engineered for integration, the compact 44 x 44 x 61 mm housing offers multiple mounting options, C-Mount lens compatibility, and industrial-grade locking USB and Hirose connectors for secure data and power delivery. The camera supports both software and hardware triggers and features 128MB of onboard RAM for low-latency frame buffering—ideal for high-reliability imaging pipelines.

Technical highlights include 8/12-bit selectable output, 74 dB dynamic range, 3.45 μm pixel pitch, ~2.41 e- read noise, and peak quantum efficiency of 68% (mono). Built-in FPGA accelerates performance, while region of interest (ROI) functionality increases effective frame rates for targeted capture.

Compliant with USB3 Vision, DirectShow, FCC Class B, and CE standards. Includes SDK support for Windows (10/8.1/7) and Linux platforms, with APIs for C/C++, .NET, and DirectX.

Whether for industrial automation, scientific imaging, or embedded vision systems, the LT1245RM offers exceptional reliability, precision, and integration flexibility in a compact, robust package.
