E-con Systems, a camera solutions manufacturer, has launched the See3CAM_11CUG, a 1.3 megapixel UVC-compliant colour USB 3.0 camera.
Being UVC-compliant, See3CAM cameras require no additional device driver software and the cameras work with standard Windows (DirectShow) and Linux (V4L2ii) software.
The USB 3.0 camera is targeted at entry-level machine vision applications such as pharmaceutical capsule inspection and food and beverage sorting. With an optically isolated external trigger input, the camera can be used in a variety of industrial automation and scientific applications.
The camera is based on Aptina’s MT9M031 colour image sensor and the USB 3.0 connectivity enables it to capture images at 720p (HD) at 30fps, and 1,280 x 960 pixels (full resolution) at 20fps. Also, 640 x 480 pixels (VGA) resolution at 60fps (cropped) and 640 x 480 pixel resolution at 30fps (with full FOV and binning) is supported.
See3CAM_11CUG has an on board ISP that converts the RAW Bayer RGB data received from the sensor to the processed colour YUV2 image. With the ISP, gain adjustments, manual exposure control and adjustments in white balance with individual RGB gains can be supported.
The camera has a CS-mount lens holder and is compatible with C-mount, CS-mount or even S-mount lenses, enabling the users to choose the lens as per their requirements. The camera has an external flash LED strobe output.
