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: IMX183CQK (C, RS) · Resolution: 20.0MP (5440×3684). 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: 18.6 fps @ 5440×3684; 49.8 fps @ 2736×1824; 60.7 fps @ 1824×1216 · Interface: USB3.0(USB3.1 GEN1)/CameraLink. 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.
GPIO: 1 optically isolated input, 1 optically isolated output, 2 non-isolated input/output ports. Confirm edge polarity, pulse-width limits and whether each line is opto-isolated before connecting TTL or GPIO signals. A software exposure command is not equivalent to a hardware trigger.
Dynamic Range: 72 dB · Dark Current: 0.2 mV @1/30s. Judge these figures at the exposure time you will actually use. Cooling matters where dark current accumulates over seconds; read noise dominates short exposures where it never does.
