Description :
The Armor-234MGS-GMSL2 is a 2.3MP Monochrome gmsl-2 Camera module built on the Onsemi AR0234 global shutter sensor. Every pixel begins and ends its exposure at the same instant. Fast moving objects stay sharp and true to shape with no rolling shutter skew. The sensor carries no color filter array so each 3.0µm pixel gathers the full light signal. This gives clean grayscale images with high contrast and a strong response in the near infrared band for work under IR illumination.
The GMSL2 SerDes interface carries video data, control data and power over a single coaxial cable. The module can sit far from the host processor with no drop in image quality. Paired with the rugged Armor series, camera module suits mobile robots, autonomous vehicles, and drones that face constant motion and vibration. It links to NVIDIA Jetson Orin platforms through a compatible GMSL2 deserializer board.
Core Benefits:
Global Shutter Accuracy: Freezes fast motion with no skew or distortion from line-by-line readout.
2.3MP Monochrome Detail: Delivers 1920 x 1200 grayscale output with high contrast for edge and feature detection.
Strong Near Infrared Response: Large 3.0µm pixels with no color filter capture usable images under IR lighting.

What sensor does the Armor-234MGS-GMSL2 Global Shutter GMSL2 Camera use?
The Armor-234MGS-GMSL2 Global Shutter GMSL2 Camera is built on the Onsemi AR0234 CMOS sensor. It captures 2.3MP monochrome images at a maximum resolution of 1920 × 1200, featuring 3.0µm pixels for high light sensitivity and detailed grayscale imaging.
What are the video formats supported by the camera?
A Global Shutter GMSL2 Camera exposes all pixels simultaneously, eliminating motion distortion and rolling shutter skew when capturing fast-moving objects. This makes the Armor-234MGS-GMSL2 suitable for high-speed robotics, autonomous vehicles, drone navigation, motion tracking, and industrial inspection.
What are the benefits of a Monochrome Global Shutter GMSL2 Camera?
A Monochrome Global Shutter GMSL2 Camera does not use a color filter array, allowing each pixel to capture the full available light signal. This improves light sensitivity, grayscale contrast, and edge definition, making it suitable for machine vision, object tracking, barcode reading, and precision inspection.
Does the Armor-234MGS-GMSL2 NIR Camera support near-infrared imaging?
Yes. The Armor-234MGS-GMSL2 NIR Camera offers near-infrared sensitivity and can be paired with 850nm or 940nm IR illumination for night vision, low-light surveillance, driver monitoring, and autonomous robot navigation. Actual NIR performance depends on the selected lens and optical filter configuration.
What frame rate does the Armor-234MGS-GMSL2 High-Speed GMSL2 Camera support?
The Armor-234MGS-GMSL2 High-Speed GMSL2 Camera supports frame rates of up to 120 fps at its maximum resolution of 1920 × 1200. Combined with global shutter technology, this enables accurate capture of fast-moving objects for robotic guidance, motion tracking, and high-speed inspection applications.
What interface does the Armor-234MGS-GMSL2 GMSL2 Camera Module use?
The Armor-234MGS-GMSL2 uses the GMSL2 (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link 2) SerDes interface for high-speed video and control data transmission. An onboard serializer converts image data for transmission over a single coaxial cable to a compatible GMSL2 deserializer connected to the host processor.
