VA Imaging VEN-302-56U3C-M06 1/1.8" Color CMOS (Sony IMX265) Boardlevel Camera, PCB with No Housing, 3 Megapixels, 2048 x 1536, 56 fps, Global Shutter, No Mount, USB 3.0 Output

IMX265 USB3 Vision Camera

The Venus series of USB3.0 cameras represents an industrial boardlevel camera equipped with a USB3.0 connection. This interface is ideal for cameras requiring high resolution and fast data transfer rates. Additionally, USB3.0 is well-suited for embedded systems such as Raspberry Pi (version 4 or newer) and NVIDIA platforms.

This particular model is suitable if your application meets the following criteria:
- Industrial boardlevel camera format
- Maximum cable length up to 4.5 meters
- Single-cable connectivity for device operation
- Compatible with PCs and embedded devices using ARM V7 & ARM V8 architectures
- Supports hardware triggering

For further technical details, please refer to the user manual.

Customizable Housing Variants

Our board level cameras offer the flexibility to choose a housing that matches your project needs. The Venus USB3.0 series is offered in these configurations:
No housing
C-Mount

If you plan to use an M12 lens, the C-mount version can be combined with our C-to-M12 adapter, simplifying the installation of M12 lenses.

Industrial Grade Color Camera

A color camera utilizes a Bayer filter array to generate color images. The RGB values for each pixel are computed by combining the pixel’s data with that of adjacent pixels. This process typically 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 than a monochrome sensor, making color cameras inherently less sensitive to light. To address this, the following adjustments can be applied:
- Increase illumination intensity
- Raise the gain setting
- Extend shutter speed or exposure time
- Choose a sensor with higher light sensitivity
- Use a lens optimized for better light collection
Compared to standard security cameras and webcams, industrial color cameras feature larger, more light-sensitive pixels, delivering superior image quality.
