Get a high-performance vision system for your most challenging applications. The VEYE AGX-nCAM-AR0234M camera module is part of the AGX-nCAM series of development kits specifically designed for Nvidia Jetson platforms.

The device is equipped with a monochrome AR0234CSSM sensor with a global shutter, which allows you to take clear images of fast-moving objects without geometric distortion. A resolution of 2.3 megapixels and a frame rate of up to 120 frames per second ensures highly detailed and smooth video. The module supports connecting from 1 to 6 cameras simultaneously, which is ideal for creating complex multi-camera systems.

• AR0234CSSM monochrome sensor with global shutter for fast action scenes.

• High frame rate of 120 fps in 4lane mode at a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels.

• Fully compatible with Nvidia Jetson TX2, AGX Xavier and Orin platforms.

• Supports simultaneous connection of up to 6 cameras to create multi-camera systems.

• Compact board size 29x29x7.5 mm and low power consumption of 657 mW.

Operating principle and image quality

The camera is built on a monochrome AR0234CSSM sensor from ON Semiconductor with global shutter technology. Unlike a rolling shutter, it reads the signal simultaneously from all pixels of the matrix, which eliminates geometric distortions and the “jelly” effect when shooting fast processes. The pixel size of 3x3 micrometers provides high light sensitivity and an excellent signal-to-noise ratio. Monochrome design without a Bayer color filter captures more detail and light, which is critical for computer vision and image analysis tasks.

The device supports two main operating modes: video stream mode (Free Running) and external hardware or software trigger mode. This allows the camera to be used for both continuous recording and synchronized shooting based on a signal. The built-in Strobe Output makes it possible to synchronize external lighting with the moment the frame is captured.

Technical characteristics and interfaces

Explore the detailed parameters of the VEYE AGX-nCAM-AR0234M camera. The AR0234CSSM sensor has an optical format of 1/2.6 inches and a pixel size of 3×3 microns. The maximum resolution is 1920x1200 pixels. In 4lane mode the frame rate reaches 120 fps, in 2lane mode - 60 fps. Analog gain range from 1.68x to 16x, digital gain range from 1x to 16x.

The MIPI CSI-2 connection interface uses two or four data lines with speeds of up to 900 Mbps per line at 10 bits. Output formats: Mono8 and Mono10. The settings are controlled via the I2C bus with a level of 3.3 V. For external synchronization, a hardware trigger input and a strobe output are provided.

Powered by 3.3V DC, power consumption is only 657mW. Overall dimensions of the board are 29×29×7.5 mm with mount for C-MOUNT, S-MOUNT or M12 lenses. Operating temperature from -30 to +60 degrees Celsius with humidity up to 95 percent.

Compatibility and Applications

The VEYE MIPI CSI-2 camera is part of the AGX-nCAM series of development kits. It is designed for installation on ADP-N5 expansion cards. They connect to the Nvidia Jetson TX2 Developer Kit, Jetson AGX XAVIER Developer Kit and Jetson ORIN Developer Kit platforms. The module supports configurations from 1 to 6 cameras. This allows the creation of panoramic vision, stereo vision and 3D reconstruction systems.

With global shutter and high frame rates, the camera is ideal for machine vision applications, quality control on production lines, robotics and autonomous systems. It is widely used in UAVs for navigation and obstacle avoidance. The monochrome sensor provides maximum clarity when working with computer vision algorithms.
