DMM 36CX297-ML
- Sony IMX297
- FPD-Link III Camera
The Sony IMX297 FPD-Link III camera DMM 36CX297-ML is a monochrome embedded vision camera with a Sony Pregius IMX297 global shutter sensor. With 720×540 resolution and 120 fps at full resolution, this camera is designed for embedded vision systems that need reliable image capture of moving objects.
The DMM 36CX297-ML uses a 1/2.9 inch Sony IMX297 CMOS Pregius sensor and connects through an FPD-Link III interface. This model is suitable for embedded systems, robotics, inspection devices and OEM vision products.
Sony IMX297 sensor for embedded vision
The DMM 36CX297-ML is built around the Sony IMX297 image sensor. This Sony Pregius sensor combines global shutter technology with a 720×540 resolution, making it a strong choice for applications where speed, contrast and repeatable image capture are more important than a high megapixel count.
Sony Pregius technology is developed for global shutter CMOS sensors and is aimed at high-speed, high-precision factory automation and machine vision applications. Global shutter technology captures the entire object before readout, helping to avoid focal plane distortion when imaging fast-moving objects.

Monochrome FPD-Link III camera with Sony IMX297 sensor
This monochrome FPD-Link III camera outputs monochrome images. A monochrome camera is often the best choice when the application does not require color information, but does need sharp contrast, high light efficiency and stable image processing.
Unlike a color camera, a monochrome camera does not use a Bayer color filter to calculate RGB values. Color cameras use a Bayer pattern, which can reduce sharpness compared with monochrome cameras. Monochrome cameras can also be more light sensitive than color cameras.
For embedded vision, this makes the DMM 36CX297-ML especially interesting for barcode reading, object detection, motion analysis, measurement tasks and inspection systems where grayscale information is enough.
Global shutter FPD-Link III camera for moving objects
The DMM 36CX297-ML is a global shutter FPD-Link III camera. Global shutter sensors expose all pixels at the same moment, which helps capture moving objects without the shape distortion that can occur with rolling shutter sensors.
This is important for embedded vision applications with moving parts, conveyor belts, robotics, rotating objects or fast positioning systems.
High frame rates up to 120 fps at full resolution support time-critical imaging tasks.
Applications for the Sony IMX297 FPD-Link III camera
The DMM 36CX297-ML is suitable for embedded vision applications where a monochrome camera is required. Typical use cases include:
- Machine vision inspection
- Robotics and automation
- Motion analysis
- Object detection
- Barcode and code reading
- Measurement systems
