12MP USB Camera IMX577 (C/CS Mount)

The IMX577 12MP USB Camera (C/CS Mount) is a high-resolution camera module designed for embedded vision, industrial imaging, and development applications. It is based on the Sony IMX577 image sensor and delivers up to 12-megapixel still images and high-resolution video over a standard USB 2.0 interface.

The camera uses a CS-mount lens interface and includes a C-to-CS adapter, allowing compatibility with a wide range of standard C-mount and CS-mount lenses. This enables flexible selection of focal length, field of view, and optical characteristics depending on application requirements.

Thanks to its USB Video Class (UVC) compliance, the camera operates in plug-and-play mode without requiring custom drivers. It is compatible with common USB hosts such as PCs, Raspberry Pi boards, Jetson platforms, and other embedded systems. The compact 34 × 34 mm module size makes it suitable for space-constrained designs.
