DFM 36CX290-ML
- IMX290
- FPD-Link III Camera
The IMX290 FPD-Link III camera DFM 36CX290-ML is a color embedded vision camera with a CMOS STARVIS IMX290 rolling shutter sensor. With 1920×1080 resolution, 60 fps and 2.1 MP output, this camera supports embedded vision systems that require full HD color imaging.
The DFM 36CX290-ML uses a 1/2.8 inch IMX290 CMOS STARVIS sensor and connects through FPD-Link III. This configuration delivers a 2.1 MP, 1920×1080 format over an FPD-Link III interface for embedded platforms that adopt this connectivity standard.
IMX290 sensor for embedded vision
The DFM 36CX290-ML is built around the IMX290 image sensor. This CMOS STARVIS sensor pairs a rolling shutter architecture with a 1920×1080 resolution on a 1/2.8 format, aligning with applications that need full HD color video or image capture at 60 fps.
STARVIS refers to a CMOS sensor family used in machine vision and imaging products. In this configuration, the IMX290 provides 2.1 MP color imaging for embedded vision workflows where resolution, frame rate and interface requirements match the listed specifications.

Color FPD-Link III camera with IMX290 sensor
This color FPD-Link III camera outputs color images. Color sensors employ a Bayer color filter array and demosaicing to generate RGB information, which is used when the application requires color data for analysis, classification or visualization.
In contrast to monochrome cameras, a color camera includes a color filter array and color processing to provide RGB information. This enables color-dependent tasks but follows different processing steps compared with grayscale imaging.
Rolling shutter FPD-Link III camera for embedded vision
The DFM 36CX290-ML is a rolling shutter FPD-Link III camera. Rolling shutter sensors expose and read lines sequentially, whereas global shutter sensors expose all pixels simultaneously.
Understanding this readout behavior helps developers align shutter type with scene dynamics, motion characteristics and lighting control in embedded vision projects.
This consideration is relevant for applications that involve moving parts, conveyors, robotics or positioning systems, where the choice of shutter type and exposure timing should match the expected motion and illumination.
Applications for the IMX290 FPD-Link III camera
The DFM 36CX290-ML is suitable for embedded vision applications where a color camera and FPD-Link III connectivity are required. Typical use cases include:
- Machine vision inspection
- Robotics and automation
- Object detection and tracking
- Measurement systems
- Color-based classification and sorting
- Embedded platforms utilizing FPD-Link III connectivity
