The Imaging Source's Visus Series

Future-Proof GigE Industrial Cameras for Speed, Precision, and Value

With performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, The Imaging Source’s new Visus series is a next-generation line of GigE industrial cameras designed to deliver uncompromising imaging in demanding machine vision environments. Compact, rugged, and equipped with the latest Sony and onsemi sensors, the Visus range offers OEMs, integrators, and end-users a modern, future-ready platform for industrial imaging applications.

Compact, Rugged, and Ready for Integration

Measuring just 29 x 29 x 44 mm - 13 mm shorter than The Imaging Source's previous GigE housed models, the Visus cameras fit easily into space-constrained installations without sacrificing durability. Their robust construction, combined with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) support, simplifies cabling and reduces installation complexity, making them ideal for factory automation, inspection systems, and embedded OEM designs.

Performance Without the Price Tag

The Visus series offers a broad sensor portfolio to match a wide range of applications:

• Sony IMX900 (3.1 MP, Global Shutter) – 2,048 × 1,536 resolution at 36 fps
• Sony IMX568 (5.1 MP, Global Shutter) – 2,448 × 2,048 resolution at 24 fps (coming late Q3 2025)
• onsemi AR0521 (5 MP, Rolling Shutter) – 2,592 × 1,944 resolution at 22 fps
• Sony IMX676 (12.5 MP, Rolling Shutter) – 3,536 × 3,536 resolution at 9 fps (coming late Q3 2025)
• onsemi AR2020 (19.7 MP, Rolling Shutter) – 5,120 × 3,840 resolution at 6 fps

With resolutions from 3.1 MP to 19.7 MP and frame rates up to 36 fps, Visus delivers precision imaging across diverse inspection and analysis tasks - from high-detail PCB inspection to large-scale logistics sorting systems.

Designed to See What Matters

Visus cameras a incorporate an FPGA, RAM, and Flash architecture with image processing, control, and reliability. Full GigE Vision compliance and adherence to the GenICam SFNC standard ensure maximum interoperability with industry software and vision systems.

Advanced firmware features like color presets (D65, D50, linear) simplify white balance control, while improved heat dissipation and lower power consumption increase operational stability in 24/7 environments. The cameras also provide 1× trigger/GPIn and 2× GPIOs for flexible system integration.
