For immediate releasee-con Systems’ new 3.4 MP Autofocus USB 3.0 Camera with Varioptic – Invenios LiquidLens
See3CAM_30 based on AR0330 sensor from On Semiconductor™. Varioptic Liquid Lens Autofocus
Camera. Superior low-light performance - pixel size of 2.2μm. Streams 1080p@60fps & 3MP@60fps
ST. LOUIS and CHENNAI, India and Lyon, France – February 28, 2017 - e-con Systems Inc.,a leading embedded camera solution company, and Varioptic, a Brand of Invenios todayannounced the launch of See3CAM_30, an ultra-low light Autofocus USB 3.0 camera with liquidlens. See3CAM_30 is based on the 1/3-inch AR0330, a 3.4 megapixel image sensor from On
Semiconductor. Having Varioptic liquid lens, this camera delivers fast, continuous and effective
Autofocus and provides robust Autofocus solution as there is no mechanical movement. Liquidlens consumes very low power and extremely fast response time making the See3CAM_30 ideal
for security/surveillance applications, Industrial cameras and barcode scanning applications. This
OEM camera can capture images at 0.1Lux, almost near darkness. The See3CAM_30 is the first
Liquid lens auto focus camera from e-con Systems’ See3CAM family of USB3.0 Super Speedcamera products.
The See3CAM_30 streams uncompressed video 720p@60fps (HD), 1080p@60fps (FullHD),
3MP@30fps (2304 x 1296) and 3.4MP@ 24 fps in UYVY formats. See3CAM_30 also streams
compressed MJPEG 720p, 1080p and 3MP at 60 fps and at full resolution it can stream 3.4MP @48 fps over USB 3.0 interface.

sales@e-consystems.com“The Varioptic Caspian S module used in e-con Autofocus Camera allows close focus, unlimited
number of cycles, low power consumption, and outstanding resistance to vibration andmechanical shocks” says Frederic Laune, Executive Director of Invenios France. “The e-con
camera offers an ideal off the shelf solution for our customers who want to focus their design
resources on the application rather than on the camera design”, he added.
See3CAM_30 is based on 1/3” AR0330 Image sensor with an on-board high-performance Image
Signal Processor chip (ISP) that performs all the Auto functions (Auto White Balance, AutoExposure control) in addition to complete Image Signal Processing functions and MJPEG
encoding. This 2.2micron pixel size AR0330 sensor with the ISP provides best-in-class image
quality and superior low light performance. The AR0330 sensor has very good responsivity inNear Infra-red wavelengths and that allows the See3CAM_30 camera to be used in NIR imaging
applications and day-night applications.

The compact See3CAM_30 camera with form factor 30mm x 30mm is constructed as a two-PCBsolution. The camera comes with the S-Mount holder and liquid lens connected. The USB3.0
base board contains the USB 3.0 Type-C connector, an indication LED and the GPIO header.
Customers can also use the TRIGGER signal available on the GPIO connector to provide
external TRIGGER signal for still image capture. The STROBE signal of the GPIO connector canbe used to enable the LED Flash for external illumination.

The See3CAM_30 camera also supports Zero Shutter Lag feature, where the 3.4 MP still images
can be captured at any time during low resolution preview video within 0.3 seconds. The next
generation low-power surveillance cameras can leverage this feature to perform motion analysis
in the low-power preview mode and when motion is detected, a high resolution still image can becaptured instantaneously for further image analytics.
See3CAM_30, a UVC-compliant camera is plug-and-play in both Windows and Linux without
requiring additional drivers. In Windows, the camera is exposed as a DirectShow device, and inLinux as a V4L2 capture source. e-con Systems’ sample e-CAMView - Windows applications andQtCAM - Linux application and use the standard UVC protocol to access the camera controls.
The e-CAMView, Windows DirectShow based sample video viewer application enables controls
such as Brightness, Contrast, Sharpness, Region of interest (ROI) based Auto focus, Saturation,Gamma, Gain, manual exposure, ROI based Auto exposure and White Balance (Manual andAuto).
