For immediate releasee-con Systems launches ‘Hyperyon’, the most awaited H.264 Ultra low (No) light WDR camera
H.264/MJPEG compression; Sony STARVIS® image sensor; Hyperyon has outstanding low-light
performance and low noise, 3D noise filtering and HDR with Socionext Image Signal Processor (ISP). It
streams Full HD at 30 fps and 60fps over USB.
ST. LOUIS and CHENNAI, India - February 20, 2019 - e-con Systems Inc., a leading embedded camera
solutions company, today announced the launch of Hyperyon (Ordering part code: e-CAM22_USB), the 2
MP Ultra low light HDR USB UVC camera with built-in H.264/MJPEG compression based on SONY STARVIS®
series 1/2.8” IMX290 CMOS image sensor. Hyperyon has excellent low light performance, can work in nearlyno-light conditions and very good Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) using 3DOL which is ideal for challenging
lighting environments in both indoor and outdoor.

USB UVC camera with many advanced features all packaged in a single camera. The Hyperyon is an ideal
camera for customers looking for cameras for challenging outdoor lighting conditions or extremely low
light conditions, smart parking lot management, embedded vision, mining, digital microscopy, kiosks,
video conferencing and many such applications“, said Mr. Ashok Babu, President of e-con Systems Inc.
“With its unmatched image quality, onboard H.264 compression capability, the Hyperyon camera will
now benefit our customers than ever before”, he added.
Being Socionext Camera Ecosystem Partner, e-con Systems has close working relationship with Socionextright from its first reference design kit Tania. e-con Systems has now worked with Socionext to developHyperyon camera leveraging the advanced features of Socionext ISP for capturing high-quality images
under low light conditions such as Three-Dimensional Noise Reduction (3DNR) and the WDR technology.
Hyperyon has been fine-tuned for achieving excellent image quality under various lighting conditions
including near darkness from IMX290 sensor with combination of Socionext ISP which has a built-in HEVCencoder, allowing H.264-quality images to be transmitted at half bit-rate.
The IMX290 sensor used in Hyperyon is SONY STARVIS® Series 1/2.8” type image sensor with 2.13 million
effective pixels. By bringing out the best low light performance of Sony IMX290 sensor in combination withSocionext ISP, Hyperyon camera produces best-in-class images in nearly absolute darkness conditions of0.002 Lux. Hyperyon is also optimized for Near Infrared (NIR) making it suitable for NIR imaging. Combinedwith 3DOL HDR technology, Hyperyon camera is an ideal camera for 24/7 surveillance applications.

Sample Application
e-con Systems provides sample Windows application (e-CAMView) and Linux application (QtCAM) whichuses the standard UVC protocol to access the camera controls. e-CAMView is a Windows Media Foundation
based image viewer application which enables controls such as Digital Zoom (up to 16x), Exposure (autoand manual), White Balance (auto and manual), Gain, Sharpness Enhancement, Brightness, Contrast andvarious other controls. The extension unit enables controls for WDR (2DOL and 3DOL), De-Noise, HighConversion Gain/Low Conversion Gain (HCG/LCG), Bit Rate control for H264, Q-Factor control for MJPEGand GPIO header for expansion capability and so on. The exposure time and noise reduction level can be
