Sony IMX900 Pregius S Industrial Global Shutter UVC Camera | Ultra Fast 20Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 | Quad HDR and Quad Shutter Control | Excellent NIR Sensitivity at 850nm and 940nm

FORT WORTH, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / February 25, 2026 / Vadzo Imaging today announced the VAJRA-900MGS, a 3MP global shutter monochrome USB 3.2 USB 2x2 UVC camera built on the Sony IMX900 Pregius S sensor and powered by the Infineon EZ-USB™ FX20 controller. Leveraging USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 over a single USB Type-C interface, the camera delivers up to 20 Gbps throughput-addressing the bandwidth limitations of conventional USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 vision systems. Designed for high-data-rate industrial imaging, the VAJRA-900MGS targets advanced automation, robotics, AGV/AMR, and embedded AI applications

The VAJRA-900MGS integrates with the Sony IMX900 3 MP Mono Global Shutter sensor, with exciting features such as Quad HDR up to 120 dB, Fast AE, Quad Shutter Control, and superior NIR sensitivity at 850nm and 940nm. These features deliver distortion-free global shutter imaging in high-speed, high-precision environments such as industrial inspection, robotic automation, smart parking systems, and embedded AI applications. The camera conforms to the USB Video Class (UVC) standard, ensuring integration across Windows, Linux, and embedded systems, while exposing extended camera controls through the VISPA ARC SDK API.

Core Capabilities of the VAJRA-900MGS 3MP Monochrome USB3.2 Gen2x2 UVC Camera

USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 (Up to 20 Gbps Interface): Enables high-bandwidth, uncompressed image streaming over a single USB-C connection with minimal end-to-end latency. Dual-lane operation via Infineon EZ-USB™ FX20 ensures reliable 20 Gbps throughput, supporting high-frame-rate applications in industrial automation, robotics, and AGV/AMR systems.

3MP Global Shutter Imaging (2064 × 1552 Active Pixels, 1/3.1" Optical Format): Built around the Sony IMX900 sensor, the system delivers true global shutter acquisition. By eliminating motion skew and rolling artifacts at the source, it ensures spatial accuracy in high-speed robotics, precision inspection, and AGV/AMR navigation workflows where motion fidelity directly impacts system reliability.

Quad HDR (Up to 120 dB Dynamic Range): Enables accurate image acquisition in high-contrast scenes, preserving detail in both shadowed and brightly illuminated regions. This ensures reliable inspection in reflective, backlit, and variable lighting environments.

Fast Auto Exposure (Fast AE): Reduces exposure latency during abrupt lighting transitions, maintaining frame-to-frame stability and exposure consistency in motion-driven industrial systems such as conveyor-based inspection and mobile robotics.

Near-Infrared (NIR) Sensitivity: With enhanced NIR response and reduced incident light angle dependency, the IMX900 provides accurate, high-SNR imaging for inspection, robotic guidance, and low-light industrial applications, even under constrained illumination.

Deterministic Low-Latency Streaming: Via Ultra Fast 20 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type C Interface, the VAJRA‑900MGS enables uncompressed, high-frame-rate video transfer with minimal latency, supporting precise robotic motion, real-time inspection, and embedded AI inference.

Full Control, Seamless Integration: The VISPA ARC SDK gives developers direct access to all camera features, real-time controls, and platform integration across Windows, Linux, and embedded systems, with APIs in C, C++, C#, and Python.

VISPA ARC SDK
The Vadzo VISPA ARC SDK is a programmable control framework designed to unlock the full performance of the VAJRA-900MGS USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 UVC camera based on the Sony® Pregius S IMX900 sensor. While maintaining native UVC interoperability, the SDK enables advanced access to sensor configuration, imaging controls, and real-time video management beyond standard UVC feature sets.

Through the VISPA ARC SDK, developers can:

- Configure dynamic Regions of Interest (ROI) for application-specific field-of-view optimization

- Implement ROI-based Auto Exposure for stable, region-prioritized illumination control

- Control hardware triggering and flash synchronization for motion-critical imaging workflows

- Access sensor-level parameters including binning, windowing, exposure timing, and frame control

- Perform secure firmware configuration and field updates

The VISPA ARC API provides native support for C, C++, C#, and Python, enabling streamlined integration across desktop systems, embedded platforms, and edge AI deployments while maintaining deterministic performance and low-latency image streaming.
