This state-of-the-art camera module is designed to excel in challenging environments, making it ideal for a wide range of applications, including automotive, autonomous vehicles, delivery robots, agriculture vehicles, and off-road vehicles.
Let us look at the key features of STURDeCAM34 that make it stand out.
Impressive Performance in High Contrast Lighting with ISP Tuning and Super-Exposure HDR
With e-con systems’ exclusive ISP tuning for automotive conditions and the AR0341AT image sensor from onsemi® Hyperlux LP, STURDeCAM34 delivers an impressive 140dB High Dynamic Range (HDR) with LED Flicker Mitigation (LFM) across the entire automotive temperature range.
The super-exposure pixel technology of the camera eliminates the need for auto-exposure control operations and minimizes latency, making it perfect for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and other time-critical applications. Super-exposure HDR also provides STURDeCAM34 the capability to capture extremely bright scenes, such as those involving direct sunlight, without any loss of color details. This camera is ideal for applications requiring a wide dynamic range and maintaining the true colors of the scene in the images captured.
Synchronized Multi-Camera Support
For multi-camera setups, e-con Systems provides synchronized solutions. STURDeCAM34_CUOAGX supports multi-camera synchronized systems with up to 8 cameras connected to the NVIDIA Jetson platforms.
e-con’s Patented Hot-Plug Technology
STURDeCAM34 stands out as the world’s first GMSL camera with hot-plug support, a patented technology by e-con Systems. This plug-and-play capability ensures smooth connection even when the system is powered on, enabling users to adapt to changing requirements.
With the hot-plug support feature, STURDeCAM34 is capable of sending a proprietary frame providing diagnostic information about the GMSL connection link, such as outage time or count of outages over a certain period. This can help us track the stability and overall health of the GMSL connection.
Built for Harsh Environments
STURDeCAM34 has a sturdy IP69K-rated enclosure, ensuring its durability in tough industrial settings. This camera has also been tested for various automotive standards to make it reliable for the tough conditions. This rugged design addresses the durability issue of environmental exposure across various mobility applications.
Advanced Features for Seamless Integration
The camera utilizes a GMSL2 interface, capable of transmitting power and data up to 15 meters. This feature simplifies cable management in complex vehicle systems. Additionally, the maintenance of the GMSL2 interface becomes even simpler with the integration of the GMSL hot plug and hot unplug supporting feature.
