1. Product Description
1.1 Overview
The CAM-IMX577-12MP is a high-performance MIPI CSI-2 camera module featuring the Sony IMX577 12.3-megapixel back-illuminated CMOS image sensor, designed to deliver exceptional 4K imaging capabilities with high dynamic range and low-light performance.
To ensure optimal compatibility and performance, please note that this module is presently supported exclusively on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, Raspberry Pi
It includes a factory-optimized tuning file and is paired with a high-quality lens, providing a wide field of view (HFOV: 97.43°, VFOV: 80.97°, DFOV: 109.82°), making it suitable for demanding vision applications.
The module leverages the existing IMX477 driver in JetPack 6.2, eliminating the need for separate driver installation; we provide guidance on configuration via the Jetson-IO tool.
Under the latest NVIDIA JetPack SDK, it supports high frame rates including full resolution 4056 × 3040 (true 12MP) @ up to 60 fps in RAW10 format, ideal for AI vision, high-resolution surveillance, industrial AOI, machine vision, scientific imaging, and long-term time-lapse projects on the Jetson Orin Nano.
1.2 Key Features
- Genuine Sony STARVIS IMX577 sensor – real hardware 12MP with 1/2.3″ optical format
- Supported modes: 4056 × 3040 @ 60 fps (full resolution), 1920 × 1080 @ 120 fps
- Starlight-level full-color imaging down to 0.01 Lux
