The CMOS Ultra is a monochrome mega pixel CMOS-based camera. It features the latest industry standard interface protocol, USB 2.0.

With our Fillfactory CMOS sensor technology, CMI offers a compact camera at an equally compact price.

A single, standard USB 2.0 cable manages the power and real-time video acquisition of the camera. To enable hardware triggering a new Feature input connector is available.

Interfaces to any Desktop or Notebook PC with a USB 2.0 port or add-on interface card. No more hassle with frame grabbers or PC incompatibility.

With our robust Application Program Interface (API), you can integrate the camera into your application with ease. In addition to the API, we can customize the API to fit the most demanding applications.

Included with camera is a small application that allows you to modify the capture parameters and capture images to your HD at various resolutions.

We are looking for OEMS who need custom versions of this camera..
