A new generation of lenses designed for 2/3",1/2" and 1/3" cameras incorporating CS-mounts. The distance from the flange surface to the focal point is 12.5 mm. CS-mount lenses cannot be used on cameras with C-mount configuration. These lenses are smaller and cheaper than the C-mount equivalents.
A newer standard for lens mounting. It uses the same physical thread as the C-mount, but the back flange-to-CCD distance is reduced to 12.5 mm in order to have the lenses made smaller, more compact and less expensive. CS-mount lenses can only be used on CS-mount cameras.
Closed circuit television lenses are available in two different lens mounts. C-mount lenses have a flange back distance of 17.526mm. CS-Mount lenses have a flange back distance of 12.5mm. “Flange back” is the distance from the flange of the lens (beginning of the lens mount) to the focal plane.
A modern and more compact lens type (similar to C-Mount) designed for 1/4", 1/3" and 1/2" CS-Mount CCD cameras. Thread size is 1" diameter, 32 threads-per-inch, the distance from the flange surface to the image plane is 12.5 mm. CS-mount lenses cannot be used on C-Mount cameras, these lenses are smaller and usually cheaper than an equivalent C-mount.[ goto Top of Page
A threaded means of mounting a lens to a camera. A CS-mount camera has a 12.5 mm distance from the camera sensor to the edge of the threads ("face to sensor"). The thread size and pitch of a CS-mount camera are identical to that of a C-mount camera, however the 5 mm difference will not allow the lens to work as it was designed. Many cameras are both C-mount and CS-mount compatible. This usually means that a 5 mm spacer ring is supplied to increase the "face to sensor" distance to 17.5 mm, making it a C-mount camera.
A new smaller thread fitting on CCTV lenses. C-mount lenses can be used on CS mount cameras with an adapter (usually supplied with the camera) but not vice versa.
A relatively new industry standard for mounting a lens to a camera where a 1" X 32 thread is employed and the distance from the image plane from the shoulder of the lens is 12.52mm. A CS-mount lens may NOT be used on a C-mount camera.
An industry standard for lens mounting. CS-Mount is 1 inch diameter with 32 threads per inch. A C-Mount lens needs C-ring when it is mounted at a CS-Mount camera.
Same as C-Mount but the focal point is 5mm shorter. A CS-Mount lens will not work on a C-Mount camera. CS-mount is a 1" diameter, 32 threads per inch mounting thread." Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" encoded in the DataMatrix 2D barcode
