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 IMX992-AABJ-C (InGaAs) · Resolution: 5.0 MP (2560×2048). 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: 8 Bit: 61.9 fps @ 2560×2048, 135.7 fps @ 1280×1024; 12 Bit: 35.5 fps @ 2560×2048, 135.7 fps @ 1280×1024 · Interface: USB3. 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, 1 non-isolated I/O. 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: 51.36 dB (HCG); 51.47 dB (LCG). 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.

Choosing a camera
