Summary of E-CON SYSTEMS LAUNCHES 2MP MONOCHROME GLOBAL SHUTTER USB CAMERA
e-con Systems launched the See3CAM_20CUG, a 2MP monochrome global shutter USB 3.1 Gen 1 UVC camera based on the OmniVision OV2311 sensor (3.0 µm pixels). It offers high frame rates (2MP@60fps, VGA@180fps, QVGA@280fps), strong NIR sensitivity for eye tracking and driver monitoring, and an S-mount (M12) lens holder. Sample Windows and Linux apps (e-CAMView and QtCAM) support standard UVC controls and easy plug-and-play use.
Parts used in the See3CAM_20CUG:
- OmniVision OV2311 image sensor (2 MP, 3.0 µm pixels, OmniPixel3-GS)
- S-mount (M12) lens holder
- USB 3.1 Gen 1 SuperSpeed interface (UVC compliant)
- Monochrome sensor configuration
- Camera firmware supporting UVC controls (Gain, Exposure, Saturation, Brightness, Contrast)
- e-CAMView Windows application (DirectShow based)
- QtCAM Linux application (V4L2/UVC compatible)
e-con Systems’ new See3CAM_20CUG, 2MP, 3.0 µm global shutter USB 3.1 Gen 1 SuperSpeed Camera with NIR sensitivity.
e-con Systems Inc., a leading embedded camera solution company, today announced the launch of See3CAM_20CUG, 2 MP Monochrome global shutter USB 3.1 Gen1 superspeed Camera. It is based on OmniVision’s OV2311 image sensor with 3 µm x 3 µm pixel with OmniPixel®3-GS technology. It has S-mount (M12) lens holder which allows customers to choose and use the lens according to their requirement. It is a Plug-and-Play camera (UVC compliant) for Windows and Linux.
See3CAM_20CUG can capture images at very high frame rate (HFR) 2MP at 60fps, VGA at 180fps and QVGA at 280fps, which helps to minimize the distracting effects while capturing fast moving objects and produce much smoother images, with greater details in a scene. The High Near-Infrared Capabilities helps to produce exceptional image quality beyond visible light region. Both high frame rate and high NIR make it suitable for accurate eye tracking applications and smartly powering driver monitoring systems.
Our See3CAM_20CUG camera brings out the advantages of global shutter high frame-rate image capture, excellent NIR sensitivity and ease-of-use USB UVC in a single package. This 2MP See3CAM_20CUG camera module will be an ideal camera for applications such as DMS, eye tracking and other tracking applications where NIR imaging and global shutter performance are the important drivers” said Mr. Ashok Babu, President of econ Systems Inc.
Sample Application
e-con Systems provides sample Windows applications, e-CAMView, and Linux application, QtCAM that uses the standard UVC protocol to access the camera controls. The e-CAMView, a DirectShow based image viewer application from e-con Systems enables controls such as Gain, Exposure, Saturation, Brightness, Contrast, and various other controls. QtCAM – Open source Linux camera software application enables capturing and viewing video from devices supported by Linux UVC driver and also works with any V4L2 compatible device
