Sony IMX927 Series
Global Shutter CMOS for analytics-ready vision
Sony’s IMX927 series brings high-resolution, high-speed, high-sensitivity Global Shutter CMOS imaging to analytics-ready vision. Models span square and 4:3 formats with fast readout, low-noise architecture for better SNR in low illumination, and flexible SLVS-EC output for easy integration with popular SoCs, FPGAs, and ISPs. Macnica provides a no-soldering evaluation path with kits, drivers, and engineering support so your team can move from first image to production quickly.
