Introducing the Raspberry Pi Global Shutter Camera

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Raspberry Pi Global Shutter Camera, the latest addition to our family of high-quality cameras for the Raspberry Pi. This camera is designed for applications that require accurate imaging in the presence of rapid motion, making it ideal for sports photography and industrial machine vision.

Form Factor

The Raspberry Pi Global Shutter Camera is offered in the same form factor as the existing Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera CS Mount. This allows users to easily swap between cameras and use the same lenses and accessories they already own.

Sensor and Global Shutter

The Global Shutter Camera features a 1.5-megapixel Sony IMX296 sensor with integrated global shutter. The global shutter allows all pixels in the image to be exposed simultaneously, resulting in more accurate images of fast-moving objects. This is in contrast to traditional rolling shutters, which can cause motion distortion and inaccuracies when capturing moving objects.

Lens Compatibility

The Global Shutter Camera will accept any CS-mount lens, which includes a wide range of options. We are pleased to offer two lens options that are compatible with the Global Shutter Camera: a 6mm wide-angle lens and a 16mm telephoto lens. These lenses are perfect for a wide range of applications, from capturing wide landscapes to zooming in on small details.

Applications

The Raspberry Pi Global Shutter Camera is perfect for a wide range of applications. Sports photographers will appreciate the camera’s ability to capture fast-moving athletes with high accuracy. Industrial machine vision applications can benefit from the camera’s global shutter, which ensures accurate images of rapidly moving machinery. The camera can also be used for stop-motion animation and other applications that require accurate and consistent imaging of rapidly moving objects.

Ease of Use

The Raspberry Pi Global Shutter Camera is designed to be easy to use. It connects directly to the Raspberry Pi’s camera port and can be controlled using the same software as other Raspberry Pi cameras. This means that users can easily switch between cameras and use the same software and tools they are already familiar with.

In conclusion, we are excited to offer the Raspberry Pi Global Shutter Camera, a powerful and versatile camera that is perfect for capturing accurate images of rapidly moving objects. With its global shutter and compatibility with a wide range of lenses, this camera is ideal for a wide range of applications, from sports photography to industrial machine vision. We can’t wait to see what our users will create with this powerful new tool.
