Computar VL1226S-MPZ LensConnect 20 Megapixel 1" 12mm Lens F2.6 I2C Interface (C-Mount)

The Computar VL1226S-MPZ is a high-resolution motorized C-mount lens from the LensConnect series, engineered to support the latest generation of 20-megapixel sensors. With a 12mm focal length, this lens provides a versatile "standard-wide" field of view, bridging the gap between ultra-wide 8mm lenses and tighter telephoto optics. The "S" designation indicates that this lens is equipped with an I2C interface, allowing for direct, board-level communication. This makes it an ideal choice for embedded vision systems, smart cameras, and OEM hardware where a compact, driverless control architecture is required.

Features

• Motorized Focus & Iris: Equipped with high-precision stepper motors that allow for remote, repeatable adjustments. This is essential for applications where the camera is physically inaccessible or requires rapid refocusing for different object heights
• Embedded-Ready I2C: The 4-wire I2C protocol (SDA, SCL, GND, 5V) enables a direct handshake with an FPGA, SoC, or microcontroller. This eliminates the need for USB overhead and bulky external cabling, streamlining the hardware design
• Floating Focus Technology: Computar’s advanced internal optical design ensures ultra-high 20MP resolution is maintained consistently from the center to the corners, throughout the entire focus range (0.1m to infinity)
• P-Iris Precision: Features a Precise Iris (P-Iris) motor that allows the host system to digitally command the exact aperture setting. This optimizes image contrast and depth of field while avoiding the diffraction issues common in traditional auto-iris lenses
• Compact & Vibration Resistant: Designed for industrial environments, the lens maintains a small footprint and is built to withstand the rigors of factory automation and robotic integration
