1189 x 891 2/3” format

648 x 486 (close to VGA) 1/3” format
432 x 324 1/4” format
Note: The use of certain C-mount lenses will cause vignetting due to the size of the image sensor. With
the Falcon 1.4M100 HG camera at full resolution the dimensions of the active area used in the camera
is 10.36mm x 7.58mm, with a diagonal of 12.84mm. Thus, you will require a 1” C-mount lens. Similarly
the Falcon 1M120 camera at full resolution requires a 1” C-mount lens. But the Falcon VGA300, at full
resolution, can use a 1/3” C-mount lens.
