Allied Vision, a leading camera manufacturer, is showcasing its latest MIPI CSI-2 cameras equipped with Sony’s high-performance IMX image sensors at the Embedded World trade fair in Nuremberg. These new models are part of the innovative Alvium 1800 camera series and represent a significant advancement for industrial embedded vision applications.

Cross-Overs Between Performance and Compact Design

The Alvium 1800 series is designed as a cross-over camera, offering machine vision-level performance in an embedded system-friendly format. Featuring Sony Pregius CMOS global shutter sensors, these cameras deliver high frame rates, excellent sensitivity, and superior image quality—essential for industrial image processing.

Leveraging Allied Vision’s Alvium platform, optimized for embedded systems, the series features a compact, lightweight design available as single-board modules or open-housing options. This approach supports easy integration into small systems while maintaining an industry-grade hardware standard with extensive image correction functions and precise triggering capabilities.
