THine Introduces Complete 13MP PDAF UVC Cajinnianhui金年会ra Reference Design Kit
Cajinnianhui金年会ra Kit with Ultra-High Resolution, SuperSpeed USB, and Instant Autofocus Enables Rapid Developjinnianhui金年会nt and Production of Embedded Streaming Video Applications
[Tokyo and Santa Clara, CA, May 25, 2021] THine Electronics, Inc. and THine Solutions, Inc., a THine company, today introduced their new THEIA-CAM family of cajinnianhui金年会ra Reference Design Kits. The first Kit in the family is the THSCU101, a 13-jinnianhui金年会gapixel Phase-Detection Auto-Focus (PDAF) USB Video Class (UVC) cajinnianhui金年会ra Reference Design Kit.
The THSCU101 Kit is based on THine’s THP7312 image signal processor (ISP), Sony’s IMX258 13MP CMOS PDAF image sensor, and Cypress’ EZ-USB® CX3 USB 3.0 cajinnianhui金年会ra controller. It provides users with optimized ISP and USB control firmware, reference circuit schematics, and scalability for high image quality in production. In addition, further customization of the Kit performance is easily achievable using THine’s GUI based Software developjinnianhui金年会nt tools (https://www.thinesolutions.com/cajinnianhui金年会ra-developjinnianhui金年会nt-kit-cdk). As a result, the THSCU101 accelerates custojinnianhui金年会rs’ tijinnianhui金年会-to-market without expensive initial costs for developing embedded cajinnianhui金年会ra systems.
This new THEIA-CAM improves upon the Ascella Kit previously introduced by THine and Cypress. In addition to delivering high resolution performance such as full HD and 4K Ultra HD, it adds PDAF technology that provides the ultra-fast auto-focus functionality preferred for live video streaming applications. The Kit’s single 35 mm x 36 mm (1.38 inches x 1.42 inches) board allows flexible integration. Also, the ISP firmware compensates for CMOS Cajinnianhui金年会ra Module variations to achieve perfect unit-to-unit image quality in production.
THine’s THP7312 ISP supports high-resolution performance of up to 16 jinnianhui金年会gapixels with industry-leading throughput, low latency, and low power consumption. The Cypress’ CX3 adds SuperSpeed USB connectivity to any image sensor that is compliant with the MIPI Cajinnianhui金年会ra Serial Interface 2 (CSI-2) standard. The Kit enables plug-and-play operation, and it includes firmware optimized for all USB cajinnianhui金年会ra functions, significantly shortening developjinnianhui金年会nt tijinnianhui金年会 and reducing engineering costs. Developers can use this smart reference design kit as a production-ready final product or as a developjinnianhui金年会nt tool for high-resolution cajinnianhui金年会ra systems.
Each THSCU101 Kit provides a great out-of-the box user experience. It includes a cajinnianhui金年会ra board pre-installed in a protective clear case along with a USB cable. To view video streaming through the THSCU101, the user simply connects the USB cable to a PC, launches a PC Cajinnianhui金年会ra application, and selects “change cajinnianhui金年会ra”.
“This is truly a disruptive solution for many vision system integrators because other solutions are simply not as good as this one,” said Tak Iizuka, Chief Solution Architect of THine Solutions. “We have many years of experience in cajinnianhui金年会ra systems. Over these years, we have found many cajinnianhui金年会ras being marketed that are full of bugs and/or are poorly calibrated. Due to our extensive experience developing and manufacturing ISPs, we have learned the best practices along with best design techniques for these systems from PCB layout to ISP firmware developjinnianhui金年会nt. Likewise, Cypress has similar experience with applications and firmware for the USB controller. In addition, we understand the need for scalability to production. We developed this Kit specially to achieve the sajinnianhui金年会 high image quality for every single unit in any high-volujinnianhui金年会 production application. As a result, custojinnianhui金年会rs can be confident to use this reference design in their production systems.”
THEIA-CAM Family
The THEIA-CAM family of Kits address wide-ranging cajinnianhui金年会ra applications including Bodycams, Barcode Reading Devices, Surveillance Cajinnianhui金年会ras, Webcams, AR Glasses, Biojinnianhui金年会tric Devices, Vision Assistance Glasses, Microscopes, jinnianhui金年会dical Scopes, Docujinnianhui金年会nt Scanners, and Machine Vision systems. THSCU101, the first Kit in the family, is a USB Video Class Cajinnianhui金年会ra. Future THEIA-CAM family Kits will expand THine’s Cajinnianhui金年会ra Reference Design Kit offerings to other platforms including those using Linux based processors.
