2.0 Detailed Product Information
2.1 Description
The SNQ-2978C is the compact variant of the SNQ-2978 module. It incorporates the identical high-performance Sony IMX290 sensor and functionality – including 60fps video and simultaneous SDI/CVBS output – onto a significantly smaller 30mm diameter circular PCB. This design is specifically for integrators and OEMs who require a full-featured camera core for products where minimizing size and weight is the primary concern, without sacrificing image quality or output flexibility.
2.2 Compact Form Factor
The defining characteristic of this module is its 30mm circular shape. This allows it to be installed in much smaller and more discreet housings than standard 38mm square modules. Please ensure your lens holder and housing design are compatible with this unique size and shape.
2.3 High Frame Rate Performance
Like its larger counterpart, this module captures and outputs video at 60 frames per second (fps), making it suitable for high-speed capture scenarios like traffic monitoring or fast-moving industrial processes, even in a miniature format.
2.4 Dual Output Functionality
This module provides two video outputs simultaneously:
- EX-SDI: A digital output for uncompressed 1080p60 video quality.
- CVBS: A standard definition analog output for legacy compatibility.
This dual-output feature is maintained despite the smaller board size.
2.5 Physical Installation & Control
- Dimensions: 30mm Diameter (Circular).
- Mounting: Requires custom mounting solutions designed for a 30mm circular PCB.
- Lens Compatibility: Designed for use with fixed focus or DC-Iris lenses. No auto-focus functionality is present.
- Configuration: All settings are managed through an On-Screen Display (OSD) menu, controllable via coaxial cable.
