Description :
Armor-234MGS-FPD3 is an AR0234 2MP Monochrome FPD Link III Camera 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 FPD Link III (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, the 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 deserializer board.
Core Benefits:
Global Shutter Capture: Records fast motion without rolling shutter artifacts
Monochrome Sensitivity: Higher light intake and strong NIR response for low light and IR lit scenes
Long Reach Coaxial Link: FPD Link III carries video and control and power on a single cable (reach up to 15 m to be confirmed)
Low Latency Streaming: Uncompressed video for real time decisions on the edge
Rugged Build: Armor enclosure with a locking automotive grade connector for vibration heavy sites (IP rating to be confirmed)
NVIDIA Jetson Ready: Driver support for Jetson platforms (exact modules and JetPack version to be confirmed)
Applications:
Autonomous mobile robots and AGVs
Drone and UAV navigation
Industrial inspection on high-speed lines
Barcode and OCR reading
Gesture recognition and eye tracking
Smart agriculture and outdoor surveillance

What sensor does the Armor-234MGS-FPD3 AR0234 2MP Monochrome FPD Link III Camera use?
The Armor-234MGS-FPD3 AR0234 2MP Monochrome FPD Link III Camera is built on the Onsemi AR0234 CMOS global shutter sensor. It captures 2MP monochrome images at a maximum resolution of 1920 × 1200, featuring 3.0µm pixels for detailed grayscale imaging and improved light sensitivity.
What are the video formats supported by the camera?
A Global Shutter FPD Link III Camera exposes all pixels simultaneously, eliminating motion distortion and rolling shutter skew when capturing fast-moving objects. This makes the Armor-234MGS-FPD3 suitable for autonomous mobile robots, AGVs, drone navigation, motion tracking, and high-speed industrial inspection.
What are the benefits of a Monochrome FPD Link III Camera for machine vision applications?
A Monochrome FPD Link III 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 the Armor-234MGS-FPD3 suitable for barcode reading, optical character recognition (OCR), gesture recognition, and precision machine vision applications.
Does the Armor-234MGS-FPD3 Near Infrared Camera support IR illumination?
Yes. The Armor-234MGS-FPD3 Near Infrared Camera offers strong near-infrared sensitivity and can be paired with 850nm IR illumination for low-light imaging, night vision, gesture recognition, eye tracking, and outdoor surveillance applications. Actual NIR performance depends on the selected lens and optical filter configuration.
What interface does the Armor-234MGS-FPD3 FPD Link III Camera use?
The Armor-234MGS-FPD3 uses the FPD Link III 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 FPD Link III deserializer connected to the host processor through MIPI CSI-2.
What is the maximum cable length supported by the Armor-234MGS-FPD3 Long Distance Camera?
The Armor-234MGS-FPD3 FPD Link III Camera is designed for long-distance video transmission over coaxial cable. Cable runs of up to 15 meters are targeted, subject to validation with the selected serializer, deserializer, and cable configuration. This allows flexible camera placement on robot arms, vehicles, and industrial equipment.
Does the Armor-234MGS-FPD3 FPD Link III Camera support Power over Coax (PoC)?
The Armor-234MGS-FPD3 FPD Link III Camera is designed for single-cable connectivity using Power over Coax (PoC), allowing power, video, and control data to travel through one coaxial cable. This reduces wiring complexity and simplifies integration in autonomous robots, AGVs, and industrial vision systems. Confirm the supported voltage range and deserializer power configuration before integration.
Which NVIDIA Jetson platforms are compatible with the Armor-234MGS-FPD3 NVIDIA Jetson Camera?
The Armor-234MGS-FPD3 NVIDIA Jetson Camera is designed to interface with NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, Orin NX, and Orin Nano platforms through a compatible FPD Link III deserializer board. Host compatibility depends on the selected deserializer, carrier board, and software driver configuration.
