The Imaging Source Launches Visus: GigE Industrial Cameras Designed to See What Matters

The new models feature a 29 × 29 × 44 mm housing, making them 13 mm shorter than The Imaging Source’s existing GigE housed cameras, while maintaining rugged industrial construction. Visus cameras offer enhanced connectivity with Power-over-Ethernet, 1× trigger/GPIn and 2× GPIOs, full GigE Vision compliance, and adherence to the GenICam SFNC standard for maximum interoperability. The camera’s architecture includes unified FPGA, RAM, and Flash in a single building block for more efficient and streamlined processing and control.

Initial variants will be available with high-performance sensors including the Sony IMX900 (3.2 MP), onsemi AR0521 (5 MP) and onsemi AR2020 (20 MP). Additional models featuring the Sony IMX568 (5.1 MP) and Sony IMX676 (12.6 MP) are scheduled for release in late Q3 2025.

The Visus series also introduces advanced firmware features such as color presets (D65, D50, linear) for simplified white balance control, along with lower power consumption in comparison with The Imaging Source’s current GigE industrial camera models and improved heat dissipation.

“Visus offers OEMs and integrators a modern and future-proof GigE camera platform that balances performance, efficiency, and cost. They’re built for easy integration and efficiency, delivering a more cost-effective path to high-performance industrial imaging for our customers," said Momchil Binev, Senior Product Manager at The Imaging Source.
