USB 3.0 Cameras
Ultra compact:
one of the smallest USB 3.0 cameras in the world - less than one cubic inch volume, cylinder-shaped
Fits into places where no other camera can fit
Can be installed with the optics in a tube
Lightweight:
weighs only 20 grams (0.7 oz)*
Perfect for autonomous systems like robots, aerospace applications etc.
Extremely fast:
USB 3.0 interface allows data rate up to 400 MBytes per second (10 times faster than USB 2.0)
Especially well-suited to use in multi-camera systems and 3D applications, as well as for fast process capturing
Robust:
unibody aircraft grade aluminum housing with a screw lock for USB cable, as well as shockproof electronic design allows the camera to survive 32 g of sinusoidal vibration and 6000 g shock tests **
Highly reliable even in harsh, demanding environments
Efficient and cool:
less than 1 W power consumption through the USB cable
Increases battery lifetime for autonomous devices with the camera onboard
No additional heat sinks required due to low heat generation
Connectivity:
programmable general purpose TTL input/output and triggering options
Can be easily integrated into your system or synchronized with other cameras
Compatibility:
comes with a set of software examples included into the SDK, is compatible with popular vision and image processing libraries and third party software like Labview, MATLAB, HALCON etc.
Simplifies integration into existing systems, no need to employ highly-qualified software developers
USB 2.0 High Speed mode support:
backward compatible to USB 2.0
Enables an old system without a USB3.0 interface to utilize new generation cameras
* CS-mount, without accessories
** Maximum tested values - consult with Sumix prior to using the camera under high g-force
