IDS GV-51J2ACP 8 MP camera with Sony IMX546 sensor, global shutter, and GigE Vision interface. Ideal for robotics, inspection, and embedded systems.
The GV-51J2ACP Series from IDS Imaging features a compact, high-performance GigE vision camera designed for demanding machine vision applications. Built around the Sony IMX546 sensor, this camera delivers precise, distortion-free images thanks to its global shutter technology, making it ideal for high-speed inspection, robotics, and metrology.
Whether you choose the color (IMX546-AAQJ-C) or monochrome (IMX546-AAMJ-C) variant, both models ensure excellent image quality, low power consumption, and reliable long-term availability—perfect for integration into industrial automation systems.
With its 8.13 MP resolution (2856 x 2848) and square 1:1 aspect ratio, the GV-51J2ACP excels in both vertical and horizontal inspection systems. The 2/3″ Sony IMX546 sensor provides a compact optical format with a pixel pitch of 2.74 µm, enabling accurate detection of fine details.
The global shutter design eliminates motion blur, even at a maximum frame rate of 16 fps, while the 128 MB image buffer and support for long exposures up to 120 seconds make it versatile across various light conditions. Engineers and OEM developers benefit from its compact 84 × 30 × 14.3 mm housing, low 11 g mass, and robust electrical interface with GPIO, I²C, and multiple trigger modes.
This camera series is an excellent choice for industrial users who demand high-resolution imaging without sacrificing synchronization, thermal stability, or control flexibility.
