VA Imaging VEN-505-36U3C-M01 1/2.8" Color CMOS (Sony IMX335) Boardlevel Camera, PCB with No Housing, 5 Megapixels, 2592 x 1944, 36 fps, Rolling Shutter, CS-Mount, USB 3.0 Output

IMX335 USB3 Vision Camera

The Venus USB3.0 camera lineup consists of industrial board-level cameras equipped with a USB3.0 interface. This interface supports high-resolution and high-speed imaging effectively. Additionally, USB3.0 is well-suited for embedded systems such as Raspberry Pi (version 4 or newer) and NVIDIA platforms.

This particular model is ideal if your application meets the following criteria:
- Industrial board-level camera requirement
- Cable length limited to 4.5 meters maximum
- Single cable connection for device interface
- Compatible with PCs and embedded systems: ARM V7 & ARM V8 architectures
- Supports hardware triggering

The VEN series cameras with M12 mounts do not include an IR Cut filter. If your application requires this feature, we suggest using the VEN cameras with CS-mount (which includes an IR Cut filter) along with our CS-mount to M12 mount adapter.

A 50 cm open-ended I/O cable is provided.
For additional information, please refer to the user manual.

Versatile Housing Configurations

Our board-level cameras offer housing options tailored to your needs. The Venus USB3.0 camera is available in these configurations:
VEN-505-36U3C-M06 - Without housing: 32.5x32.5x8.1mm | 7 grams
VEN-505-36U3C-M05 - M12 mount: 35x35x15.1mm | 32 grams
VEN-505-36U3C-M01 - CS-mount: 35x35x15.8mm | 31 grams
VEN-505-36U3C-M01 plus 5mm extension ring: C-Mount: 35x35x20.8mm | 34 grams

When utilizing an M12 lens, you can opt for either the M12 mount or the CS-mount version combined with our C-to-M12 lens adapter.

Warranty and Product Longevity

Industrial Color Imaging

A color camera employs a Bayer filter array to generate a color image. The RGB value of each pixel is computed by combining the pixel s own value with those of adjacent pixels. This process results in images that are generally less sharp compared to monochrome cameras. Because of the RGB filter, each pixel captures up to 66% fewer photons under white light than a monochrome sensor, reducing light sensitivity. To address this limitation, you can:
- Increase illumination
- Raise the gain
- Extend shutter speed or exposure time
- Choose a sensor with higher light sensitivity
- Use a lens with enhanced light sensitivity
Compared to typical security cameras and webcams, industrial color cameras have larger, more light-sensitive pixels, delivering superior image quality.
