FORT WORTH, TX / ACCESS Newswi e / August 20, 2026 / Vadzo Imagi g, a p ovide of embedded visio solutio s, today lau ched the A mo -1335CRO-FPD3, a 13MP Autofocus FPD-Li k III Came a built a ou d the O semi AR1335 se so fo su gical obotics, e doscopy, a d po table medical device applicatio s that eed stabilized image quality a d a sta da dized, easily sou ced cable co ectio .

Why Medical Devices Need a 13MP Autofocus FPD-Li k III Came a Built fo Stability a d Sta da dizatio

Medical device came a platfo ms face a stability p oblem that most i dust ial applicatio s eve e cou te i the same way. A su gical obotics a m, a ha dheld e doscope, o a po table diag ostic device is a ely held pe fectly still, whethe that is a su geo ‘s ha d maki g small atu al moveme ts o a obotic a m executi g a p ecise but ot pe fectly damped motio . A y esulti g blu o f ame-to-f ame misalig me t i the video feed makes it ha de fo a su geo o tech icia to t ust exactly what they a e seei g, at the mome t that t ust matte s most.

A seco d, mo e p actical challe ge shows up du i g the sou ci g a d qualificatio phase of buildi g a medical device athe tha du i g use. A came a built a ou d a p op ieta y o o sta da d coaxial co ecto locks a ma ufactu e i to a si gle cable supplie a d complicates the ste ilizatio , cable eplaceme t, a d lo g-te m supply chai pla i g that a egulated medical device p og am equi es. A Sta da d FAKRA Came a Module solves that p oblem befo e it sta ts, usi g a widely available, sta da dized co ecto that a medical device ma ufactu e ca sou ce a d qualify th ough multiple established supplie s athe tha a si gle p op ieta y sou ce.

These two challe ges compou d each othe ove a device’s full lifecycle. A came a that solves the stability p oblem well but ties a ma ufactu e to a si gle co ecto supplie still leaves that ma ufactu e exposed to a supply dis uptio yea s afte a device has al eady clea ed desig validatio a d egulato y eview. Solvi g both p oblems f om the same platfo m, athe tha t eati g stabilizatio a d co ectivity as sepa ate co ce s ha dled by diffe e t ve do s, gives a medical device p og am o e poi t of e gi ee i g accou tability i stead of two.

E gi ee i g Expla atio : Stability, Focus, a d Sta da dized Co ectivity

O semi built the AR1335 as a 13 megapixel se so capable of both full- esolutio still captu e a d c opped 4K video, a d Vadzo Imagi g pai s that se so with optical image stabilizatio specifically to add ess the motio stability p oblem medical applicatio s p ese t. As a AR1335 OIS FPD-Li k Came a, the came a physically compe sates fo small moveme ts at the le s o se so level, co ecti g fo the ki d of u avoidable mic o-motio p ese t i a ha dheld device o a obotically actuated a m befo e that motio eve shows up as blu i the eco ded f ame.

That stabilizatio wo ks alo gside autofocus athe tha eplaci g it. As a O semi AR1335 OIS Came a, the module adjusts focus elect o ically as wo ki g dista ce cha ges du i g a p ocedu e, while optical image stabilizatio ha dles the sho te -te m, smalle amplitude motio that autofocus alo e was eve desig ed to co ect. Togethe , a AR1335 Coax OIS Se so co figu atio gives medical device i teg ato s both of these co ectio s f om the same compact module athe tha eedi g to add stabilizatio as a sepa ate mecha ical assembly.

Co ectivity is the thi d piece of this desig . As a AR1335 FAKRA Came a, the A mo -1335CRO-FPD3 pai s FPD-Li k III video t a smissio with a sta da d FAKRA co ecto athe tha a p op ieta y coaxial co ecto , which matte s di ectly du i g device qualificatio . A FAKRA Co ecto Came a lets a ma ufactu e ‘s supply chai team qualify cables f om a y FAKRA-complia t supplie athe tha bei g locked i to a si gle sou ce, which is a mea i gful co side atio fo a medical device p og am that may u i p oductio fo a decade o lo ge .

The A mo -1335CRO-FPD3 pai s the AR1335 Autofocus FPD-Li k III Came a se so with optical image stabilizatio , autofocus, a d a sta da d FAKRA co ecto i a compact desig suited to su gical obotics, e doscopy, a d po table medical device i teg atio . As a 13MP Autofocus FPD-Li k III Came a, it outputs full 13-megapixel still esolutio o c opped 4K video, givi g medical device ma ufactu e s a si gle came a platfo m that cove s visualizatio , docume tatio , a d ge e al-pu pose medical imagi g f om o e module.

At the co e of the module sits the 13MP OIS FPD-Li k III Came a se so , chose specifically fo the combi atio of esolutio , stabilizatio , a d sta da dized co ectivity that medical device p og ams equi e. Because the came a combi es 4K OIS FPD-Li k Came a video output with AR1335 OIS Came a still captu e o the same ha dwa e, the A mo -1335CRO-FPD3 eaches usable image quality whethe a device is captu i g a wide field ove view o a close, stabilized view of a specific site, all delive ed ove a si gle coaxial cable te mi ated i a co ecto a ma ufactu e ca sou ce f om multiple established supplie s.

Key Capabilities

O semi AR1335 Se so fo Detailed 13MP / 4K Captu e: The A mo -1335CRO-FPD3 is built a ou d the O semi AR1335 se so , a 13 megapixel device capable of full- esolutio still captu e as well as c opped 4K video output f om the same ha dwa e. This dual capability matte s fo medical applicatio s that may eed high- esolutio stills fo docume tatio o diag ostic eview, alo gside lowe -late cy 4K video fo live visualizatio du i g a p ocedu e, without switchi g came a ha dwa e betwee those two tasks. As a 13MP FAKRA Came a, it delive s that esolutio ove the same sta da dized co ecto used th oughout the est of the platfo m.

Optical Image Stabilizatio fo Stable Imagi g Du i g Motio : Ha dheld devices a d obotically actuated a ms both i t oduce small amou ts of motio that a fixed-mou t came a eve has to co ect fo . As a Stabilized FPD-Li k Came a, the A mo -1335CRO-FPD3 compe sates fo that motio optically befo e it becomes visible blu i the eco ded f ame, a d fu ctio i g as a 13MP Stabilized Coax Came a, it delive s that stabilized image at full esolutio athe tha o ly i a educed-quality p eview mode.

Sta da d FAKRA Co ecto fo Simplified Cabli g: A p op ieta y co ecto locks a medical device ma ufactu e i to a si gle cable sou ce fo the life of a p oduct, which is a eal supply chai isk fo a device that may stay i p oductio fo ma y yea s. The A mo -1335CRO-FPD3 avoids that isk by usi g a i dust y-sta da d co ecto that multiple supplie s al eady ma ufactu e, a d, fu ctio i g as a OEM FAKRA Came a Module, it gives OEM custome s the flexibility to qualify cable assemblies f om mo e tha o e ve do without edesig i g the came a i te face. As a 4K FAKRA Co ecto Came a, it also p oves that sta da dizatio holds eve at the highe 4K video output the same se so suppo ts.

FPD-Li k III fo Lo g Dista ce, EMI-Resista t Video T a smissio : Medical equipme t ofte places the came a at o e e d of a cable u a d the display, eco de , o p ocessi g u it some dista ce away, whethe ac oss a ope ati g oom o i side a compact device housi g. As a OIS Coax Came a, the A mo -1335CRO-FPD3 ca ies stabilized video eliably ove that dista ce usi g a si gle coaxial cable, esisti g the elect ical oise commo i a facility full of othe powe ed medical equipme t.

Autofocus fo Sha p Images Ac oss Va yi g Dista ces: Wo ki g dista ce cha ges co sta tly du i g ma y medical p ocedu es, whethe a e doscope moves close to a site of i te est o a obotic a m epositio s du i g a su gical task. The i cluded autofocus le s assembly adjusts elect o ically as that dista ce cha ges, wo ki g alo gside optical image stabilizatio so that both dista ce- elated focus a d sho t-te m motio a e co ected without equi i g a tech icia to ma ually tu e the le s fo a si gle fixed wo ki g dista ce. Because both systems a e tu ed to wo k togethe athe tha i depe de tly, a device ma ufactu e does ot eed to sepa ately validate how autofocus a d stabilizatio i te act, which simplifies the ve ificatio wo k equi ed befo e a device cha ge moves i to cli ical use.

Compact OEM Ready Desig fo Medical Device I teg atio : The module’s compact footp i t gives OEM custome s flexibility to i teg ate the A mo -1335CRO-FPD3 i to a su gical obotics a m, a e doscope ha dle, o a po table diag ostic device housi g without a majo mecha ical edesig .
