Technical FAQ
Lens Mount: C-mount. Use a lens image circle that covers the sensor and check flange distance before adding C/CS, F-mount or M42 adapters.
Sensor: Sony IMX678 (Color) · Resolution: 8 MP (3840×2160). Match pixel pitch to the diffraction-limited spot the optics deliver. Sampling finer than the optics resolve multiplies data volume without adding information; sampling coarser discards resolution you have paid for.
Frame Rate: Sensor: 45 fps @ 3840×2160; Video recording: 45 fps @ 1920×1080; Monitor: 45 fps @ 1920×1080; USB Video: 30 fps @ 3840×2160 / 45 fps @ 1920×1080; Wi-Fi: 30 fps @ 3840×2160 / 45 fps @ 1920×1080 · Interface: Type-C Monitor, USB Video, Wi-Fi. Confirm the host can sustain the interface bandwidth continuously, not in burst. A camera that outruns the write path stalls acquisition rather than dropping quietly to a lower rate.
