Alvium® 1800 MIPI CSI-2 Crossover Camera Module

Allied Vision’s Alvium 1800 is a revolutionary crossover camera combining an embedded camera module platform with the high-performance sensors and on-board image correction functionalities of an industrial machine vision camera. It builds on a small and lightweight single board design with MIPI CSI-2 interface (D-PHY) as well as the latest generation of Sony Pregius CMOS sensors popular in industrial and scientific machine vision applications. These sensors deliver outstanding image quality at a high frame rate with up to 20 megapixel resolution. The global shutter technology captures crisp images of fast-moving objects without distortion or blur.

Another machine vision feature is the on-board image correction and pre-processing capability integrated in the ALVIUM processor. This unique technology frees up CPU capacity on the host for the actual image processing application. The ALVIUM built-in image signal processor ensures all sensor variants share the same driver for easy software integration. The Alvium 1800 Series includes six models with Sony CMOS sensors with resolutions ranging from 0.4 megapixel to 20 megapixel and provides an enhanced image correction feature set compared to Allied Vision’s Alvium 1500 Series. The Alvium 1800 is the right choice for designers of advanced embedded vision systems looking for the benefits of a high-performance machine vision camera. These models are also available with a USB interface.
