NM01BUC1D1200C

The BUC1D Series C-mount USB2.0 CMOS Camera, featuring a 12 Megapixel Sony IMX577 color sensor, is a versatile digital imaging solution designed for a wide array of applications requiring high-resolution still images and moderate-speed video capture. This camera leverages the industry-standard C-mount lens interface, providing users with the flexibility to attach a diverse selection of lenses to achieve various magnifications, fields of view, and working distances. The USB 2.0 interface ensures straightforward connectivity to a computer for both power and data transfer.  

At the heart of this camera is a 12-megapixel (MP) CMOS sensor, specifically the Sony IMX577. This sensor has a size of 1/2.3" (5.95 mm x 4.71 mm) and features individual pixels with a size of 1.55 μm x 1.55 μm. This combination of resolution and pixel size offers a good balance between capturing fine details and maintaining reasonable light sensitivity. The sensor's performance characteristics include a G Responsivity of 250 LSB, a Dynamic Range of 70 dB, and a maximum Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNRmax) of 43 dB, indicating its ability to capture images with good tonal range and clarity.  

The camera is capable of capturing video at a rate of 20 frames per second (FPS) across multiple resolutions, including its maximum resolution of 3840 x 3040 pixels, as well as 1920 x 1520 pixels and 960 x 760 pixels. This consistent frame rate across different resolutions provides flexibility for various imaging needs. The camera operates without pixel binning (at 1 x 1 binning), ensuring the full resolution of the sensor is utilized. The exposure time can be precisely controlled, ranging from a fast 0.1 milliseconds up to 2000 milliseconds, allowing for optimal image capture under diverse lighting conditions.  

This BUC1D series camera with the 12MP IMX577 sensor is well-suited for applications such as:

• Digital Microscopy: Capturing high-resolution images and videos of microscopic specimens.

• Industrial Inspection: Integrating into vision systems for detailed quality control and defect analysis.

• Laboratory and Scientific Imaging: Documenting experiments and capturing data in research settings.

• Educational Purposes: Providing a versatile imaging tool for teaching and learning in science and technology.

• Hobbyist and Advanced Amateur Photography/Videography: For users requiring a C-mount camera with good resolution and control.
