Lntech SNQ-2978 Technical Specs - IMX290 1080p60 SDI+CVBS Output Camera Board

The Lntech SNQ-2978 is a specialized camera module designed for applications where high frame rates and output flexibility are paramount. Utilizing the Sony IMX290 STARVIS™ CMOS sensor, it delivers high-quality 1080p resolution at a smooth 60 frames per second. Its defining feature is the simultaneous output of both EX-SDI and CVBS video signals, providing integrators with a simple solution for hybrid system design or digital migration paths. With proven starlight-level low-light performance and a fixed-focus design, it offers a reliable and cost-effective imaging core for traffic monitoring, industrial inspection, and general surveillance.

1. High Frame Rate Performance
The module's capability to output 1080p video at 60 frames per second is its primary advantage for specific applications. This high temporal resolution is essential for:

• License Plate Recognition (LPR): Capturing clear images of fast-moving vehicles.

• Industrial Automation: Monitoring high-speed processes on production lines.

• General Surveillance: Providing smoother video playback for detailed motion analysis.

2. Simultaneous Dual Output
The SNQ-2978 provides two video streams concurrently:

• EX-SDI Output: Offers an uncompressed, high-quality digital video stream over coaxial cable. This is the preferred output for primary recording and high-definition monitoring.

• CVBS Output: Provides a standard definition analog signal. This is typically used for legacy monitoring equipment, backup feeds, or integration into existing analog infrastructure without requiring additional video converters.

3. Optical Performance
The Sony IMX290 sensor is a industry-standard for a reason. It provides an excellent balance of resolution, sensitivity, and cost. Its performance in low-light conditions (0.00008 Lux) is well-regarded, making it suitable for 24/7 operation. Electronic shutter control allows for flexibility in various lighting conditions.

4. Design for Reliability
The omission of an auto-focus mechanism simplifies the design, reduces potential points of failure, and lowers the overall cost. This makes the module ideal for use with fixed-focus lenses or manual-focus varifocal lenses in applications where the scene does not change frequently, ensuring a stable, maintenance-free image.

5. Integration
The standard 38x38mm form factor ensures easy drop-in compatibility with most camera housings. All typical image settings (Shutter, Gain, WDR, BLC, etc.) are accessible through a standard Coaxial OSD Menu.
