Computar - VL0826S-MPZ - LensConnect 20 Megapixel 1" 8mm Lens F2.6 I2C Interface (C-Mount)

Product Overview

The Computar VL0826S-MPZ is a LensConnect wide-angle machine vision lens built for ultra-high-resolution embedded imaging systems. With 20MP optical performance, 1" sensor support, and an 8mm focal length, it provides a broad field of view while supporting precise remote control through an I2C interface.

Key Configuration

20MP optical resolution; 1" sensor format support; 8mm focal length; S-series I2C control interface; 4-pin SDA, SCL, GND, 5V connection; motorized focus; motorized P-Iris; high-repeatability stepper motors; floating focus design; minimum object distance 0.1m.

Key Features

• 20MP optics support high-detail imaging for demanding machine vision applications.
• Wide-angle 8mm focal length provides expansive coverage on 1" format sensors.
• Direct I2C control allows board-level focus and iris adjustment from embedded hardware.
• Stepper-driven focus and iris enable repeatable presets for automated inspection workflows.
• Floating focus mechanism helps maintain sharpness and reduce distortion from 0.1m to infinity.

Technical Context

The lens is designed for embedded vision platforms where the host camera, SoC, FPGA, or microcontroller controls optical settings directly. Its P-Iris system allows digital aperture positioning for balancing contrast, depth of field, and image sharpness under changing lighting conditions.

Installation Notes

The I2C interface is suited for compact machine vision builds where USB cabling or external lens controllers are not preferred. It is appropriate for automated inspection stations, embedded smart cameras, and high-resolution vision systems requiring remote focus and iris control.
