Technical FAQ
Lens Mount: M72×0.75 (native); optional M54×0.75 front adapter ring. Use a lens image circle that covers the sensor and check flange distance before adding C/CS, F-mount or M42 adapters.
Sensor: IMX411AQR (C, RS) · Resolution: 151 MP (14176×10640). 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: 6.1 fps @ 14176×10640; 6.9 fps @ 7072×5320; 20.8 fps @ 4704×3546; 61.9 fps @ 1568×1178 · Interface: 10GigE. 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× opto-isolated input, 1× opto-isolated output, 2× direct-connect GPIO. 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: 84.9 dB. 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.
