OEM Smart Camera with Autofocus
D3 Engineering's OEM Smart Camera Board is a compact, powerful
and flexible image processing platform. Now incorporating New
Scale's M3-F focus module for built-in
piezoelectric autofocus, this camera developer's kit is a great
starting point for imaging applications that require the very
highest image resolution in a compact footprint.
Features
- Autofocus: High-precision piezo lens motion system
delivers best image resolution, focus range and flexibility.
- Highest image resolution: Color image sensor up to 14
MP combined with advanced Sunex optics for ultra-sharp images
with small pixel size
- Smallest size: The imaging module is 1.25 x
1.25" wide by 0.9" deep (without lens). The compact electronics
kit can be configured for any small-form-factor product
requirement.
- Complete camera system: Incorporates imager, lens,
autofocus system, DSP, SD card, video output (HDMI & NTSC) and
Ethernet.
- Fast time to market: OEM-ready camera solution
quickly customized to your specifications.
Applications
Improve performance of miniature cameras for
biometric detection and
facial recognition,
medical devices
and imaging, machine vision, miniature surveillance cameras
and security analytics, scanning systems, set top boxes,
scientific imaging and a wide range of handheld systems.
Complete, high-resolution mini camera system
The imaging module features high-precision autofocus with
a New Scale Technologies piezoelectric lens motion module and Sunex
high-performance lens system of your choice. The module supports
CMOS sensors from all vendors including Aptina, OmniVision and
CMOSIS.
D3 Engineering's SmartCam electronics incorporate a Texas
Instruments DaVinci™ DM6437 DSP, 256 MB DDR2 memory, HDMI & NTSC
video output, and 10/100 Ethernet. A flat flex cable connects to the
imaging module. Daughtercard connections allow access to all
processor peripherals and GPIO. This versatile, full-featured kit
enables easy evaluation and system design. D3 configures even
smaller electronics to meet your specific OEM product requirements
for functionality and small footprint.
Precision autofocus: max resolution, flexibility
Autofocus provides increased field of focus for rapid image
capture at variable distances. It enables greater variation in the
size, shape and position of target objects to be imaged. The result
is maximum image resolution with faster, less obtrusive detection
systems.
New Scale's M3-F focus module delivers
superior performance to other focus solutions. It features highest
lens position resolution and repeatability, very low tip/tilt, and
long lens travel stroke with no hysteresis. It is a robust focus
solution with >2M cycles MTBF (fixed orientation).
The M3-F can move lenses up to 5 grams, supporting advanced glass
and polymer lenses from Sunex, an industry leader in
high-performance OEM optics. Sunex lenses feature patented aspheric
optical technology, proprietary high-index optical materials and
integral optical filters. Sunex has a wide range of off-the-shelf
options as well as a complete custom lens capability, from design to
mass production.
Customizable and OEM ready
Designed for high-volume production, this camera kit features low
bill of material costs, EMI testing, DDR2 timing, and RoHS
compliance. It can be used as-is or customized for you. Imaging
module options include a wide range of image sensors and lenses.
Electronics board options include other processors and
speeds; a 7" NTSC LCD option, and daughtercards for GPIO and CPLD.
D3 Engineering will help you define a solution to meet your specific
requirements.
