The Imaging Source has broadened its product lineup with the introduction of new cameras featuring onsemi AR0234 sensors. These cost-effective sensors are now integrated into The Imaging Source’s 37 Series industrial and board-level cameras, offering system engineers and OEMs a versatile solution for customization.

  • Resolution: Up to 2 megapixels
  • Frame Rate: Capable of capturing up to 100 frames per second (fps)
  • Sensor Type: Employs a global shutter technology
  • Interface: Utilizes USB 3.1 Gen 1 with Type-C connector, achieving data transfer speeds of up to 5 MBit/s

The 37 Series industrial cameras are specifically designed for cost-sensitive and OEM applications as single-board cameras.

Form Factor Variants

These compact single-board cameras minimize the hardware footprint and come in various form factors:

  • DFK 37AUR0234: Color industrial camera
  • DFK 37BUR0234: Color industrial camera with Hirose trigger and IO connector support
  • DBK 37AUR0234: Color industrial camera without an IR cut filter
  • DBK 37BUR0234: Color industrial camera with Hirose trigger and IO (no IR cut filter)
  • DFM 37UR0234-ML: Color board-level camera compatible with S-mount lenses
  • DMK 37AUR0234: Monochrome industrial camera
  • DMK 37BUR0234: Monochrome industrial camera with Hirose trigger and IO support
  • DMM 37UR0234-ML: Monochrome board-level camera designed for S-mount lenses

Additional Specifications

The cameras feature a region of interest (ROI) capability, allowing users to select specific areas within the image sensor. In sample images provided, this functionality is demonstrated by resizing an original resolution from 1920x1080 pixels down to 640x400 pixels.

Other notable settings include:

  • Automatic white balance for consistent color accuracy under varying lighting conditions
  • Color enhancement enabled (value “on”)
  • Gamma setting calibrated to approximately 0.61
