Alvium 1800 C – High-performance camera modules for embedded vision

Machine vision sensors for embedded system developers
Alvium 1800 C-2040 with Sony IMX541 runs 24.0 frames per second at 20.4 MP resolution.
The powerful Alvium 1800 C MIPI CSI-2 camera series gives embedded system developers accessto Sony’s high-performance image sensors popular in the machine vision industry. These sensors
with resolutions up to 20 megapixels deliver excellent image quality and up to twice the frame rates
compared to similar Alvium 1500 C models.
To operate Alvium CSI-2 cameras on your vision system, Allied Vision provides different accessmodes: - GenICam for CSI-2 Access controls the camera by GenICam features, using the Alvium
CSI-2 driver and CSI-2 transport layer (TL) directly. Currently, Alvium 1800 C-500, C-507, C-511,C-1236, and C-2050 are supported. Please find FAQs and installation instructions in the Getting
Started with GenICam for CSI-2 application note. - Direct Register Access (DRA) to control thecameras via registers for advanced users. - Video4Linux2 Access allows to control the cameras via
established V4L2 API and applications like GStreamer and OpenCV. Open-source CSI-2 drivers areavailable on GitHub for different boards and system on chips (SoCs).
