Exceptional low-illumination performance

Exceptional low-illumination performance of SNR1s: 0.14 lx is realized by use of a large-size optical system and by expanding the area per pixel to 4.63 µm. This makes the IMX294CJK ideal for security camera market applications that require low-illumination performance.

High-speed movie imaging

This product realizes high-speed movie imaging with a 4K angle of view at the high frame rate of 120 frame/s, and also enables high-speed imaging at 60 frame/s in HDR drive mode.

In addition, use of our proprietary high-speed serial interface SLVS-EC together with high-speed imaging enables image transfer with few signal lines. This product is also equipped with a general-purpose MIPI (CSI-2) interface, and supports connection with a general-purpose ISP (Image Signal Processor).

Quad Bayer Coding HDR

The IMX294CJK uses a Quad Bayer structure, and outputs data binned in 2 × 2 pixel units in normal mode. In HDR mode, integration can be divided into long-time integration and short-time integration for each 2 pixels in the Quad array (Figure 1). In this case there is no time difference between long-time integration and short-time integration, which realizes HDR with little blending offset when imaging moving subjects.
