SC201CS
High-resolution 2MP rolling shutter sensor for detailed industrial inspection and measurement applications.
Product Overview
Description
The SC201CS is a 2-megapixel high-resolution CMOS image sensor designed for detailed industrial inspection and measurement applications. With its 1/2.8 inch optical format and 2.9μm pixels, it delivers exceptional image quality for precision inspection tasks requiring fine detail detection.
This sensor supports frame rates up to 60fps at full 2MP resolution, providing smooth imaging for inspection systems. The rolling shutter design offers high sensitivity and low noise performance suitable for static or slow-moving object inspection. Advanced features include region of interest (ROI) readout for higher frame rates on specific areas.
The SC201CS includes programmable gain and exposure controls for adapting to varying lighting conditions in industrial environments. Its compact package and low power consumption make it suitable for compact inspection systems and embedded vision applications.
As an authorized SmartSens distributor, BeiLuo Electronics provides comprehensive support for inspection system integration including lighting design recommendations and image processing optimization.

FAE Expert Insights
"The SC201CS delivers excellent image quality for our precision inspection applications. The 2MP resolution provides the detail needed for detecting small defects in electronic components and precision parts. While it's a rolling shutter sensor, the 60fps frame rate is sufficient for our moderate-speed inspection lines. The ROI feature is particularly useful - we can achieve higher frame rates by reading only the regions of interest, improving throughput. The sensor's low noise performance produces clean images even under challenging factory lighting. Integration was straightforward with standard MIPI interface. A cost-effective solution for detailed inspection tasks."

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I choose SC201CS over global shutter sensors?
Choose SC201CS for static or slow-moving object inspection where high resolution is more important than motion capture. Rolling shutter sensors like SC201CS typically offer better sensitivity and lower cost compared to global shutter sensors of similar resolution.
For stationary inspection tasks, SC201CS provides excellent value. Choose global shutter only if you need to capture fast-moving objects without blur.
Does SC201CS support ROI readout?
Yes, the SC201CS supports region of interest (ROI) readout, allowing you to read only specific portions of the image at higher frame rates. This is useful for inspection systems where only certain areas of the image need detailed analysis.
Use ROI mode to increase frame rate when inspecting specific regions. This can significantly improve inspection throughput.
What lighting is recommended for SC201CS inspection applications?
The SC201CS works well with various industrial lighting including LED ring lights, bar lights, and diffused panels. The choice depends on your inspection requirements - bright field lighting for surface defects, dark field for edge detection, and backlighting for dimensional measurement.
