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(C) · 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.
Interface: HDMI2.0 / USB3.0 / NETWORK / SD / USB Video · USB3.0 Output: 30 fps @ 3840 × 2160, 45 fps @ 2688 × 1512, 60 fps @ 1920 × 1080. 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.
Tell us your sensor, resolution, spectral range, frame-rate, interface, and software requirements and we will confirm the matching configuration and lead time.
