IUC Series

Product Introduction

The IUC series covers the 1.7–60 MP high-resolution range, featuring 1.1″–2.7″ (APS-C / Full Frame) large-format CMOS sensors. Offering both rolling shutter (RS) and global shutter (GS) solutions based on application requirements, the series is optimized for advanced scenarios including inspection, metrology, microscopy, and machine vision. Select models are equipped with electronic EF mount, supporting autofocus and aperture control for rapid deployment and remote control of telecentric and telephoto lenses.

For connectivity and synchronization, IUC provides USB3.0, 10GigE, Camera Link, and CoaXPress (model-dependent) high-speed interfaces, capable of outputting 8/10/12/16-bit data. The series supports free-running, software/hardware triggering, and multi-camera synchronization, with optically isolated I/O for triggering/strobe control, ensuring stability during high-speed and long-duration acquisition.

Complete software ecosystem includes ToupView and cross-platform SDK (Windows / Linux / macOS; C/C++/C#/Python, etc.), compatible with DirectShow / TWAIN. Available in both standard housing and OEM board-level configurations for system integration and custom development.

In-Depth Product Introduction

Large Sensor High-Resolution Technology

The series utilizes APS-C and full-frame class Sony/Gpixel CMOS sensors, covering chip sizes from 1.1" to 2.7" with support for maximum 60 MP output, meeting ultra-high resolution detection and analysis requirements. Pixel sizes range from 3.3 µm to 9.0 µm, balancing detail resolution with low-light sensitivity. Dark current levels as low as 0.03-0.3 e-/s/pix and dynamic ranges exceeding 70 dB adapt to high-contrast scenarios.

High-Speed Data Transmission and Flexible Interfaces

The entire series provides USB 3.0, 10 GigE, and CameraLink interfaces, balancing high-speed data flow with flexible integration capabilities. Typical models such as the IUC1700KMA-CL480 achieve 302 fps at 1600×1100, while full-frame high-megapixel models can balance high frame rates with clarity across multiple resolution modes. Support for 8-bit and 12-bit output accommodates detection and analysis requirements.

Intelligent Focus and Optical Compatibility

Select models support Canon EF mount autofocus lenses, flexibly adapting to multi-scenario imaging requirements. Combined with built-in hardware ISP, the cameras achieve hardware noise reduction, color restoration, gamma correction, and more, ensuring imaging detail and output efficiency. Exposure control ranges from minimum 6 µs to maximum 15 s, satisfying both high-speed and long-exposure scenarios.

Industrial-Grade Reliability Design

The cameras feature 7-pin optically isolated I/O supporting hardware trigger, software trigger, and free-running modes, facilitating production line automation integration. DC12V power supply with consumption below 5 W, operating temperature range of -10°C to 50°C, and support for online firmware upgrades. Metal housing design ensures long-term stable operation in complex environments.

Cross-Platform Software Ecosystem

The cameras provide ToupView software and multi-system SDKs for Windows/Linux/macOS/Android, supporting C/C++, C#/VB.NET, Python, Java, DirectShow, and Twain interfaces for convenient secondary development. Built-in hardware ISP combined with multi-platform SDK enables rapid deployment to scientific research or automation systems.
