phyCAM-P and phyCAM-S - series

Digital sensor boards and cameras with M12 or C/CS-mount lens flange

Product description

Camera Boards with phyCAM - interface can directly connect to the digital camera interface of the PHYTEC microcontroller boards. This allows easy integration of camera technology in compact, custom designed products.
The phyCAM - interface is supported by various, powerful 32-controllers, such as the Marvell PXA - series and the Freescale i.MX - controllers.
Together with the different variants of the camera boards a modular system is available, which empowers the developer to choose the optimal combination for his product. Because of the compatible phyCAM - interface, the cameras are easily interchangeable - even during the design phase.
All camera boards are standardized in size and have the same mounting points.
Each camera is available either as PCB version or with lens holder for C/CS-mount or M12 lenses. Thus, the adaption to the optical requirements of the application can also be done in a very simple way.
The board support packages (BSPs) of the compatible PHYTEC-SBCs contain the appropriate software drivers for the cameras already. Thus, the cameras can be easily integrated into software applications for Windows Embedded CE or Embedded Linux. Under Linux, the cameras can be operated by using for example the V4L2 interface or a GStreamer application.
BSPs are already included in the corresponding development kits.

phyCAM-P Interface

The parallel version of the phyCAM interface provides an extremely simple and inexpensive way to integrate the camera into a system. The data as well as the control signals are transmitted in parallel over a 33-pin FFC cable. This reduces the efforts for the interface to a minimum and still allows for compatibility between the camera types. Reserved pins allow access to special features such as a trigger input or light control. phyCAM-P is particularly suitable for the internal installation of cameras and allows a cable length of up to 30 cm. The phyCAM-P interface is supported by the series of phyCORE - SBCs.

phyCAM-S Interface

The new phyCAM-S interface brings even more flexibility for product developers. Thereby the data is transferred via a serial LVDS interface. Including the power supply and control signals the phyCAM-S interface requires only 8 wires. The cable is even easier to place and can be up to 6 meters. Thus the camera head and the main unit can be separated. The connection can be easily done with a CAT-5e - Ethernet cable.
With the phyCARD - family PHYTEC offers SBCs suitable for the phyCAM-S interface.
All boards are equipped with the appropriate LVDS camera interface. As a result, the developer has not only fully scalable computing power, but also design security because the phyCARD series grows with the microcontrollers available in the future, without losing compatibility.
