The See3CAM_CU51 is a 5.0 MP UVC-compliant USB 3.0 Super Speed Monochrome camerawith the S-mount (M12 board) lens holder. It is based on the 1/2.5” MT9P031 Monochrome
CMOS image sensor from Aptina, The See3CAM_CU51 can stream monochrome video at HD@60fps (720p60) and Full-HD @30fps (1080p30) in uncompressed Y16 mode, through theUSB 3.0 interface which supports about 5Gbps bandwidth. The Y16 format has 12bits of valid
greyscale information per pixel packed in a 16bits per pixel format. This 12-bit resolution perpixel makes it suitable for applications where high resolution is very important. See3CAM_CU51
can stream the full 5MP resolution uncompressed Y16 video streaming at around 15fps for highresolution imaging applications. See3CAM_CU51 is also backward compatible with USB 2.0
High Speed host ports.
The See3CAM_CU51 supports normal Electronic Rolling Shutter (ERS) operation on thepreview video and can switch to Global Reset Release (GRR) mode for the 5MP still image
capture. In the GRR mode, all the pixels of the image sensor are reset simultaneously andexposed at the same until the pixels are read out sequentially. GRR mode reduces the image
distortion while capturing moving objects, compared with the regular Electronic Rolling Shutter
mode. This mode is a good fit for applications where, a quasi-global shutter mode is required ina cost-effective fashion. And the GRR still image capture can be triggered with an external
Trigger signal.
The preview to 5MP still image capture time is very fast and almost Zero-Shutter lag. This isbeneficial for applications where high-speed snapshots at full 5MP resolutions are to becaptured instantly while previewing the low resolution, high-frame rate preview.
e-con Systems’ sample Linux and Windows applications uses the standard UVC protocol toaccess the camera controls. The e-CAMView, sample Windows DirectShow based sample
video viewer application enables controls such as supports Gain and Exposure control. TheExposure time is adjusted from 1millisecond to 15seconds in bulb exposure mode.
