SONY IMX327LQR/LQR1 Security Camera Image Sensor
Product Information
The IMX327LQR/LQR1 is a CMOS solid-state image sensor with a diagonal size of 6.46 mm (Type 1/2.8). It is specifically designed for color cameras and features a square-pixel format. The sensor offers various modes including all- pixel scan mode, 720p-HD readout mode, window cropping mode, and vertical/horizontal direction-normal/inverted readout mode. It also supports high dynamic range (HDR) function and multiple exposure HDR. The IMX327LQR/LQR1 is equipped with a variable-speed shutter function, a 10-bit/12-bit A/D converter, and CDS/PGA function. It has a sensitivity of 2000 mV or more per 1 m2 and delivers high-quality images in both visible- light and near-infrared light regions.
Product Usage Instructions
- To use the IMX327LQR/LQR1 image sensor, connect it to a compatible camera system using the recommended interface (LVDS or CSI-2).
- Ensure that the sensor is properly mounted in the camera system, following the instructions provided by the camera manufacturer.
- Before capturing images, select the desired mode based on your requirements. You can choose from all-pixel scan mode, 720p-HD readout mode, window cropping mode, or vertical/horizontal direction-normal/inverted readout mode.
- If you want to enhance the dynamic range of your images, enable the HDR function. The IMX327LQR/LQR1 supports both multiple exposure HDR and digital overlap HDR.
- If necessary, adjust the shutter speed using the variable-speed shutter function. The resolution of adjustment is 1H unit.
- You can choose between a 10-bit and 12-bit A/D converter for the conversion of analog signals to digital values.
- If you need to apply correction to the image, utilize the CDS/PGA function provided by the sensor.
- Refer to the product manual for detailed specifications and guidelines on recommended recording pixels, maximum frame rate, and other technical parameters.
- Make sure to visit the official Sony website for any updates or changes to the product specifications.
Note:
The IMX327LQR/LQR1 image sensor is suitable for security camera applications.

Diagonal 6.46 mm (Type 1/2.8) CMOS Solid-state Image Sensor with Square Pixel for Color Cameras
Description
The IMX327LQR/LQR1 are diagonal 6.46 mm (Type 1/2.8) CMOS active pixel type solid-state image sensors with a square pixel array and 2.13 M effective pixels. These chips operate with analog 2.9 V, digital 1.2 V, and interface 1.8 V triple power supply, and have low power consumption. High sensitivity, low dark current and no smear are achieved through the adoption of R, G and B primary color mosaic filters. These chips feature an electronic shutter with variable charge-integration time. (Applications: Surveillance cameras, FA cameras, Industrial cameras)
