Alvium 1500 C – Powerful camera modules for embedded vision

Revolutionary MIPI CSI-2 camera module
Alvium 1500 C-050 with ON Semi PYTHON 480 runs 117.0 frames per second at 0.5 MP resolution.
Alvium 1500 C is a revolutionary MIPI CSI-2 camera optimized for embedded vision applications. The
Alvium 1500 C offers the performance and versatility of industrial cameras for the embedded world.
Equipped with industrial-grade CMOS sensors from ON Semiconductor, Alvium 1500 C camerasdeliver excellent image quality and high frame rates.
The standardized CSI-2 driver ensures quick integration with the flexibility to change camera models
easily.
To operate Alvium CSI-2 cameras on your vision system, Allied Vision provides different accessmodes: - Direct Register Access (DRA) to control the cameras via registers for advanced users. Video4Linux2 Access allows to control the cameras via established V4L2 API and applications likeGStreamer and OpenCV. Open-source CSI-2 drivers are available on GitHub for different boards andsystem on chips (SoCs).
See the Alvium Cameras Hardware Options for lens mount and housing options, as well as the Customization and OEM Solutions webpage for additional options.
