Sony XCL-SG1240 1.1" type Global Shutter CMOS Pregius 12.4MP 20 fps Camera Link (B/W) Camera

Quick Overview
The Sony XCL-SG1240 Camera Link camera utilizes the IMX304 1.1-type global shutter CMOS sensor, offering 12.4 Megapixels (4,112 x 3,008 resolution) with a pixel size of 3.45 µm. It supports frame rates up to 20 fps (at 8-bit depth and 3-tap mode) and achieves a minimum illumination of 0.5 lx with F1.4 iris, +18 dB gain, and 1/30 s shutter. Featuring auto and manual gain (0 to 18 dB) and shutter speeds (60 to 1/100,000 s), the camera excels in dynamic environments. It offers advanced features like partial scan, LUT support, defect correction, and temperature readout. Data output includes Raw8, Raw12, and Raw16 formats over GigE Vision interface, with power consumption of 6 W and a 0 to 50°C operating temperature range.
