Overview
Arducam Pivariety is a Raspberry Pi camera solution that takes advantage of its hardware ISP functions. Pivariety camera modules offer users better performance and a wider variety of camera and lens options. In other words, Pivariety breaks through the limitations of the closed-source officially supported camera driver and camera modules (V1/V2/HQ).
Pivariety makes it possible to have a well-tuned ISP with Auto Exposure, Auto White Balance, Auto Gain Control, Lens Shading Correction, etc.
This Pivariety AR0234 Color Global Shutter Camera is an advanced Raspberry Pi Camera that eliminates rolling shutter artifacts to shoot high-speed moving objects in color sharp images.
Key Features
- 2.3MP AR0234 global shutter color sensor, maximum frame rate up to 60fps.
- 90 deg (H) wide view angle
- Gstreamer support.
- V4L2 support.
- Compatible with all libcamera-based apps maintained by the RPi foundation.
Detailed Features
- This camera is a new member of the Arducam Pivariety series, which adopts an AR0234 color global shutter and also supports hardware ISP functions. This Pivariety can eliminate rolling shutter artifacts, performing much better than the Official ones when shooting high-speed moving objects.
- External Trigger Function: This function is used to capture the image and helps in synchronized streaming by connecting two or multiple cameras. In production applications (such as assembly line production), the external trigger mode can synchronize the camera with other devices.
- Shot Image and Video: Image resolution of 2.3MP 1920x1200; ISP output image format of JPG, YUV420, RAW, DNG; ISP Output video Format of MJPEG, H.264 with frame rates 1920×1200@60fps, with ISP@30fps; 1920×1080@60fps, with ISP@30fps; 1280×720@120fps, with ISP@60fps.
- Lens Spec: M12 lens mount, focal length of 3.6mm±5%, F.NO 3.0, FOV 120°(D)/90°(H)/75°(V)
- NOTE: Arducam Pivariety can only work with libcamera, does NOT support Raspistill or Raspivid; V4L2 compliant, but only RAW format images can be obtained, without ISP support.
