VA Imaging MARS-280-409GTC 2/3" Color CMOS (Sony IMX421) Camera, 2.8 Megapixels, 1936 x 1464, 409 fps, Global Shutter, C-Mount, 10GigE Output

10GIGE VISION CAMERA IMX421

The Mars 10GigE lineup features an industrial-grade 10GigE camera equipped with a 10GigE connection. This interface is ideal for capturing high-resolution or high-speed images, especially when cable runs exceed 5 meters. The 10GigE interface delivers speeds 10 times faster than standard GigE Ethernet cameras and twice as fast as USB3.
This particular 10 GigE camera model is suitable if your requirements include:

• An industrial camera designed for high speed or high resolution
• Support for cable lengths up to 100 meters using cat6a or superior cabling
• Cost-effective and straightforward cable installation
• Physical dimensions measuring 74x74x52mm

Operation of this camera necessitates a 10GigE frame grabber. If your PC lacks a 10GigE port, we suggest the frame grabber VA-PCIe4-10GP-1. For additional technical details, please refer to the manual.

INDUSTRIAL 10GIGE CAMERA WITHOUT POE

The 10GigE camera series does NOT include Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality. Ensure you order an appropriate I/O cable compatible with MARS cameras to supply power to the device.

COLOR INDUSTRIAL CAMERA

A color industrial camera uses a Bayer filter array to generate color images. The RGB values for each pixel are computed by combining the pixel’s own data with those of adjacent pixels. This processing results in images that are less sharp compared to those from monochrome cameras.
Because of the RGB filter, each pixel captures approximately 66% fewer photons under white light conditions than a monochrome sensor, making color cameras inherently less sensitive to light. To address this, the following approaches can be applied:

• Enhance the illumination intensity
• Raise the camera gain
• Extend shutter speed or exposure duration
• Choose a sensor with higher light sensitivity
• Use a lens designed for improved light gathering

Color industrial cameras are typically employed in scenarios where capturing color details is essential.

MTBF, WARRANTY & PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE

Daheng Imaging manufactures over 100,000 industrial cameras annually, adhering to stringent quality standards. The mean time between failures (MTBF) exceeds 400,000 hours (equivalent to 45 years of continuous operation). These industrial cameras carry TÃœV Rheinland certification and include a 3-year warranty. Each model remains available for a minimum of 7 years following its market release, with many models supported for significantly longer periods.
