USB3 cameras with more application possibilities

With the new models Alvium 1800 U-511 (Sony IMX547), Alvium 1800 U-811 (Sony IMX546) and Alvium 1800 U-1242 (Sony IMX545), the Alvium camera series with USB3 interface now includes 19 models. All cameras are available in different housing variants (closed housing, open housing, bareboard), as monochrome or color cameras and with different lens mount options. The USB port can be located either on the back of the camera or on the left side (seen from the sensor).

With the Sony IMX547 sensor, the Alvium 1800 U-511 offers a global shutter sensor with an optical format of 1/1.8''. This makes it the first 5.1 megapixel global shutter sensor from Sony that is suitable for use with a compact Allied Vision S-mount lens. At the same time, the sensor has the same aspect ratio as the IMX264 sensor with the same resolution, but with a significantly smaller size. Compared to the popular Sony IMX265 sensor (e.g. in the Alvium U-319 or Mako G-319), the sensor offers a higher resolution with almost the same sensor size.
