DMK 36CX290-I67 FPD-Link III
DMK 36CX290-I67
- Sony IMX290
- FPD-Link III Camera
The Sony IMX290 FPD-Link III camera DMK 36CX290-I67 is a monochrome camera with a CMOS STARVIS IMX290 rolling shutter sensor. With 1920×1080 resolution, 60 fps at full resolution and a 2.1 MP format, this camera suits FPD-Link III vision systems that need full-HD monochrome image capture.
The DMK 36CX290-I67 uses a 1/2.8 inch IMX290 CMOS STARVIS sensor and connects over FPD-Link III. As part of the 36C Series, it integrates into systems that employ FPD-Link III serializers/deserializers for point-to-point video transport in vision architectures.
IMX290 sensor for FPD-Link III vision
The DMK 36CX290-I67 is built around the Sony IMX290 image sensor. This CMOS STARVIS sensor pairs a rolling shutter readout with a 1920×1080 resolution and 2.1 MP, enabling monochrome full-HD frames at up to 60 fps.
STARVIS is a CMOS sensor family used widely in vision applications. In this configuration, the IMX290 delivers a balance of resolution and frame rate for systems that standardize on FPD-Link III connectivity and require monochrome imaging.

Monochrome FPD-Link III camera with IMX290 sensor
This monochrome FPD-Link III camera outputs grayscale images. Without a Bayer color filter, a monochrome camera focuses on luminance detail and straightforward image processing when color data is not required.
Unlike a color camera, a monochrome camera does not use a Bayer pattern to interpolate RGB values. In many vision workflows, this can help simplify processing pipelines where grayscale information is sufficient for detection, measurement or alignment tasks.
For FPD-Link III deployments, this makes the DMK 36CX290-I67 applicable to barcode and mark reading, object detection, motion analysis within moderate speeds, measurement tasks and inspection steps where grayscale contrast is adequate.
Rolling shutter FPD-Link III camera for general-purpose imaging
The DMK 36CX290-I67 uses a rolling shutter. Rolling shutter sensors expose rows sequentially, which is suitable for static or moderate-motion scenes and a wide range of general-purpose machine vision tasks.
When imaging fast-moving objects, rolling shutter readout can introduce motion skew compared with global shutter sensors. System designers can account for this in their lighting, optics, positioning and trigger strategies when building with FPD-Link III pipelines.
Applications for the IMX290 FPD-Link III camera
The DMK 36CX290-I67 is suitable for vision applications where a monochrome FPD-Link III camera is required. Typical use cases include:
- Machine vision inspection
- Robotics and automation
- Motion analysis for moderate motion
- Object detection and alignment
- Barcode and code reading
- Measurement systems
- Systems using FPD-Link III video transport
