CDK - Camera Developer's Kits

Develop digital camera applications rapidly with a Camera Developer’s Kit (CDK) from D3 Engineering. The Daughter Cards are designed to plug into Texas Instruments DSK or EVM Kits™ and have you up and running in 15 minutes. The OEM Boards are completely self-contained and work right out of the box.

Available on 4 Major Development Platforms

OEM Boards

Everything You Need

The CDKs are complete Imaging Hardware and Software systems available with a variety of imagers and LCDs. They are designed to work with numerous Texas Instruments DSPs, so the system is reusable should you change applications or platforms.

Software

Included software files lets you capture and display images, as well as set up the imager and LCD parameters. (Sample Images) The USB 2.0 port allows image data to be rapidly downloaded to an included Windows-based program. A Windows DLL in the software kit gives you the ability to develop your own custom applications.

Software libraries are included for LCD display, LCD GUI routines, image capture and processing. Example programs are furnished that utilize Code Composer Studio to download bitmaps from the imager and upload them to the LCD.

Full Reference Designs

The CDKs are full reference designs and include example code for each DSK or EVM, full schematics, layout and CPLD code.

Custom Algorithms Available

The CDK software kit includes examples utilizing the Texas Instruments Image Processing (IMGLIB) Library. If you need additional assistance, D3’s engineers have significant algorithm design capabilities. They can provide custom algorithms for the CDK, such as: JPEG2000, MPEG2, MPEG4, or H.26x. We can also create a customized CDK for your application (Barcode, Machine Vision, OCR, Medical, Surveillance).
