e-con Systems announces the launch of Cypress® CX3™ Socionext ISP RDK with Dual Sony Sensors
St. Louis, USA and Chennai, India – Oct 4, 2017, e-con Systems Inc., Cypress Design Partner, a leadingembedded camera company specializing in the development of advanced camera solutions
announces the launch of Tania, industry's fastest USB3.1 Gen1(5Gb/Sec) UVC reference design kit
with dual camera, along with the Cypress® Semiconductor Corp and Socionext Inc. Tania is an easy
to use, single-board plug and play USB3.1 Gen1(5Gb/Sec) UVC reference design kit packed with apowerful combination of SuperSpeed Cypress's EZ-USB® CX3™ USB3.1 Gen1 camera controller,advanced high-performance Socionext’s Milbeaut® MBG967 ISP (image signal processor) and Sony‘sdual (21MP rear e-CAM210_MI230_MOD and 13MP front e-CAM130_MI258_MOD ) color
autofocus camera modules based on Sony’s IMX230 and IMX258 image sensors respectively.
Tania allows developers to evaluate the latest-trend dual camera solution using sony’s Exmor RS™
technology image sensors with Socionext ISP. It comes with dual cameras with two different modes
and it can be used as individual (front and rear) camera streaming or both cameras simultaneousstreaming. This is one of the important features of TANIA which will enable customers to use inmultiple ways. A high intensity on-board LEDs on both side of the kit allow cameras to capture evenin low light environment. Tania has got the support for UVC extension control using which anyone
can control variety of features like Auto Focus Region of Interest (ROI), Auto Exposure Metering,
JPEG Compression Quality control, Flicker Detection etc. e-con Systems provide a sample
application for both windows (e-camView) and linux (QtCAM with complete source code) for
preview the streaming.
It is ideal for customers who want to speed up the time-to-market without expensive initial costs fordeveloping camera firmware. This kit delivers high-resolution performance and advanced functions
for a wide range of applications.
