Summary of E-CON SYSTEMS LAUNCHES LOW LIGHT, 5 MP CAMERA SUPPORT FOR NVIDIA® JETSON NANO
e-con Systems launched e-CAM50_CUNANO, a low-light 5 MP camera based on OnSemi AR0521, with support for the NVIDIA Jetson Nano developer kit. The 1/2.5" sensor (2.2 µm pixels) with integrated ISP streams uncompressed UYVY video: HD 1280x720@100 fps, FHD 1920x1080@65 fps, and 5 MP 2592x1944@25 fps. It offers high SNR, better dynamic range, and an S-mount (M12) lens holder. The camera is available for evaluation and sample orders via e-con Systems’ online store.
Parts used in the e-CAM50_CUNANO Project:
- e-con Systems e-CAM50_CUNANO camera module
- OnSemi AR0521 1/2.5" 5 MP CMOS image sensor with integrated ISP
- S-mount (M12) lens holder
- NVIDIA Jetson Nano developer kit (platform supported)
As a preferred camera partner of NVIDIA®, e-con Systems is introducing yet another camera support for NVIDIA® platforms. e-con Systems have launched the support for one of our popular low-light, 5 MP camera based on OnSemi’s AR0521 – e-CAM50_CUNANO, with NVIDIA® Jetson Nano developer kit.
e-con Systems Inc., NVIDIA®’s preferred camera partner and a leading embedded camera solution company, today announced the launch of e-CAM50_CUNANO for NVIDIA® Jetson Nano developer kit. e-CAM50_CUNANO is based on OnSemi’s 1/2.5″ AR0521, a 2.2 µm pixel CMOS image sensor with integrated Image Signal Processor (ISP).
e-CAM50_CUNANO is capable of streaming HD (1280 x 720) at 100 fps, FHD (1920 x 1080) at 65 fps and 5 MP (2592 x 1944) at 25 fps in uncompressed (UYVY). The higher Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) supported by this camera helps to produce clear images without noise and a better dynamic range helps in retaining more details in shadows and highlights. Along with these features, the powerful in-built ISP helps to bring out the best-in-class video in uncompressed UYVY format. The camera is also provided with the S-mount (M12) lens holder that enables customers to choose the lens from a wide range of options as per their requirements.
Jetson Nano is a small, powerful and cost-effective platform for applications such as image classification, object detection, segmentation, and speech processing. It offers a framework for real-time computer vision and robotics applications. These applications require a camera with uncompromising image quality and performance, which is why e-con Systems came up with e-CAM50_CUNANO.
Availability
e-CAM50_CUNANO is currently available for evaluation. Customers interested in evaluating e-CAM50_CUNANO can order samples from e-con Systems’ online store.
