The Allied Vision Alvium G5-1242 5GigE camera, powered by the ALVIUM® Technology Allied Vision's ASIC chip, features a Sony IMX545 1/1.1" 12.4 megapixel sensor, a 39 frame rate at full resolution, and a 2.75 µm pixel size.

Alvium GigE and 5GigE cameras are available in a broad spectral range that includes UV, visible, NIR, and SWIR, in color or monochrome with C-mount, CS-mount or S-mount (M12) mount options. Color models include an IR cut filter, monochrome models ship with no filter/protection glass. The 5GigE interface provides higher bandwidth without sacrificing image quality, and is backward compatible with existing GigE applications.

Allied Vision Alvium series 1GigE and 5GigE cameras are designed for use in both machine vision and embedded applications. Offering high image quality and reducing the workload for the host, Alvium enables innovation among vision system designers. The advanced ALVIUM System on Chip (SoC) performs image corrections and preprocessing tasks onboard the camera instead of on the host computer. Unlike FPGAs commonly used in machine vision cameras, the ALVIUM SoC is extremely power efficient.
