Category: Tags: ,
The C3 is a GMSL (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link) camera specifically designed primarily for automotive applications. It has a resolution of 8.3 MP at 3840 x 2160 px.

Equipped with Sony Semiconductor Solutions’ IMX728 back-side illumination stacked CMOS image sensor SoC, the C3 delivers HDR imaging with a dynamic range exceeding 120 dB, LED flicker mitigation (LFM), and motion artifact-free capture at up to 30 fps. Its combination of high sensitivity and high resolution makes the C3 ideal for diverse applications, including
object and signal recognition.

The C3 supports a range of lens options, making it adaptable to various applications. Each lens undergoes 6-axis active adjustment during installation to ensure optimal sharpness. Precise calibration helps maintain image quality, even in environments with extreme or fluctuating temperatures.

Indie Semiconductor’ s GW5300 Image Signal Processor (ISP), integrated into the C3’s image sensor, handles various image processing tasks, including lens distortion correction, to deliver optimal image quality for automotive applications. The C3 also supports an external triggering mechanism, enabling synchronized capture with other sensors, such as LiDAR or radar, for seamless sensor integration.
The C3 is designed for large-scale automotive production.

With all key components meeting AEC-Q100 (Grade 2), Q101, and Q200 standards, the C3 is engineered to pass rigorous automotive-grade reliability tests.
