XHC1302-D28B 2.8 mm Black & White Ultra Low-Light DVP Camera Module
525 m detection range, 103.8° HFOV, black & white ultra-low-light DVP camera module.
XHC1302-D28B System Detail
What It Is
The XHC1302-D28B is an ultra low-light DVP digital camera module from Star-Navi's XHC1302 Series, built around a 1/1.8-inch CMOS sensor in a 2.8 mm, F/1.0 black & white configuration with no outer housing, for direct embedded integration into UAV, FPV, and robotics platforms.
Performance
Under clear-weather test conditions with visibility ≥ 10 km per the US military NVESD standard, the XHC1302-D28B reaches a detection range of 525 m, a recognition range of 130 m, and an identification range of 80 m. The module covers a 103.8° horizontal field of view at 2.8 mm focal length, outputting 1024 × 768 video at 50 fps with 70 dB dynamic range.
Key Technical Features
- 5.4 μm pixel pitch CMOS sensor for high sensitivity in a compact optical format
- DVP / BT.656 digital output in YCbCr 4:2:2 format for direct embedded-processor integration
- Sub-450 mW power draw over a single DC 5 V rail via a 29-pin FPC connector
- Sub-20 ms latency and roughly one-second boot time for real-time FPV and navigation use
Platform Compatibility
The XHC1302-D28B ships as a bare module without outer housing, so OEM integrators handle mechanical mounting, lens protection, and environmental sealing for the target platform. It is intended for ultra-wide-angle FPV and short-range UAV navigation, alongside general UAV payload, robotics, and embedded vision integration.
Compact Ultra Low-Light Optics
A large-aperture lens paired with a large-pixel-pitch CMOS sensor maximises light gathering in a small optical footprint. This combination lets the module resolve scene detail well below the illumination levels typical cameras require.
Direct Digital Video Output
The module outputs digital video directly over a parallel bus in a standard broadcast-style format, without an onboard encoder or compression stage. Host processors can capture and process frames with minimal integration overhead.
Maximum-Sensitivity B/W Imaging
The XHC1302-D28B forgoes colour filtering to maximise light-gathering sensitivity in monochrome. This suits applications where reaching the furthest possible detection range under minimal illumination matters more than colour information.
Minimal SWaP Integration
A small housing-free form factor and low continuous power draw keep the module's size, weight, and power footprint out of the way of the host platform's payload budget. A single FPC connector carries both power and video to simplify wiring.

Designed for the Field
FPV and Close-Range UAV Navigation
The XHC1302-D28B covers ultra-wide-angle FPV and short-range UAV navigation at 2.8 mm focal length with a 103.8° field of view.
Search and Rescue Perimeter Coverage
Recognition-range performance supports perimeter and security observation tasks alongside the module's primary UAV role.
Embedded OEM Integration
A bare, low-power module design keeps size, weight, and power draw out of the way of the host platform's payload budget.
FPV and Close-Range UAV Navigation
FPV pilots and small-drone operators need ultra-wide situational awareness at close range, where obstacles and terrain features appear and close quickly. Standard daylight FPV cameras lose usable image quality as soon as ambient light drops. The XHC1302-D28B's 2.8 mm lens gives a 103.8° horizontal field of view, reaching a detection range of 525 m under standard NVESD test conditions. Its 1024 × 768 CMOS sensor and F/1.0 aperture keep the image usable well after ambient light has dropped below what daylight cameras can use.
- Detection Range 525 m
- HFOV 103.8° at 2.8 mm
- Identification Range 80 m
- Imaging Black & White
Search and Rescue Perimeter Coverage
Search and rescue teams flying small UAVs need continuous wide-area coverage through the night. A single wide-FOV camera should handle both open search patterns and closer inspection passes without a lens change. Recognition range of 130 m lets operators distinguish targets from background clutter well inside the module's full detection envelope. The bare-module design lets integrators pair it with existing gimbals, housings, and processing boards already qualified for the platform.
- Recognition Range 130 m
- Sensor 1/1.8" CMOS, 5.4 μm Pixel
- Output DVP / BT.656, YCbCr 4:2:2
- Weight ≤ 30 g
Embedded OEM Integration
OEM integrators building UAV, FPV, or robotics payloads need a low-light camera core that adds minimal size, weight, and power draw to an already-constrained platform budget. A module that requires a heavy housing or complex power-conditioning stage erodes the payload margin available for other systems. The XHC1302-D28B ships as a bare, housing-free module weighing under 30 g and drawing less than 450 mW over a single DC 5 V rail, with power and BT.656 video carried on one 29-pin FPC connector. Sub-20 ms latency and roughly one-second boot time keep it ready for real-time flight control and navigation use.

System Integration
Interface Architecture
Every XHC1302 module outputs BT.656 digital video over an 8-bit DVP parallel bus, carried on a single 29-pin FPC connector alongside power and synchronisation signals.
Full pin-level signal reference requires a verified corporate account.
DVP / BT.656 Interface
The XHC1302 outputs 1024 × 768 video at 50 fps over an 8-bit DVP parallel bus in BT.656 / YCbCr 4:2:2 format, ready for direct capture by an embedded video processor. A single FPC connector carries video, power, and synchronisation signals together.
