e-con Systems Announces Support of High Definition Camera Solution for OMAP 35xx Series of Processors
e-con Systems Inc., a leading embedded design services company specializing in development of advanced customized camera solutions, related products and services announces its 5MP High definition (HD) camera solutions for OMAP35x processors from Texas Instruments.
The company feels that the 5M Pixel daughter card will be helpful for customers who are targeting applications such as OCR, HD Video recording, Facial Recognition and other applications that involve analyzing images of moving objects. Capturing moving objects require a high frame rate of capture and having a high definition camera that can do a 720p at 30fps helps.
“With this latest camera solution based on Omnivision’s OV5642, e-con provides a singlecamera solution for a wide range of applications from 720p HD video capture to 5MP high resolution image processing. This will be an ideal solution for our customers who are looking for a unified solution that can do 720p HD video capture and as well as the capability to do still capture at 5MP resolution with minimal switchover time. We expect that this camera shall unleash the potential of DSP inside the OMAP3530 for Mobile video recording and highresolution image processing applications, in addition to the regular camera applications”, said Ashok Babu – Director, e-con Systems.
With an in-depth knowledge of camera hardware/firmware and related Embedded applications, e-con Systems serves its customers globally to develop camera drivers, applications and help them optimize the camera performance for different range of applications viz. handheld terminals, surveillance systems, 1D/2D barcode reader, Digital Microscopy, Low vision aid e-con Systems new camera daughter board, e-CAM50_OMAP35x having a size of 8.5mm X 8.5mm X 5.75mm with a Omnivision OV5642 camera module can be directly interfaced on the TI TMDXEVM3530 EVM board. Logically, e-CAM50_OMAP35x connects to the high speed CMOS sensor interface of the TI OMAP35x. The TI OMAP35x processors offer tremendous processing power thanks to the Superscalar ARM Cortex-A8 core running at 600MHz.
