ARTCAM-0134AR-WOM Series is CMOS cameras for industrial use.
This series adopt USB2.0 interface, so the data can be delivered to PC directly without a capture board.
With UVC support, it can be used on various platforms without being aware of drivers.

3. Main Features⚫

USB2.0 Interface

Our cameras adopt USB2.0 interface, so the data can be delivered to PC directly and no capture boardis needed.
⚫

UVC (USB Video Class) compatible

Since it is compatible with UVC, you can use it immediately without installing a driver just byconnecting the USB cable to a PC or the like.
⚫

Supports global shutter

Since the shutter method of the adopted CMOS sensor is the global shutter method,
Even when shooting a fast-moving subject, you can shoot clear images without blurring.
⚫

Sets the sensor exposure time
Adjust exposure time automaticallyDefault target luminance value is 84 in 8bit value
It is an ON/OFF switching function for external IO,
and it is possible to turn ON/OFF LEDs, etc. (option)*1 Saturation sets the gain value for Cb and Cr of the YCbCr signal. The gain is set value x 0.03125,
32 x 0.03125 = 1.00 [times] when the setting value is 32, and 76 x 0.03125 = 2.375 times when the setting
value is 76 (default).
*2 White balance is adjusted with our default optical system, and may not be fully adjusted depending on
the combination of lenses and filters. In that case, customization is also possible, so please contact us
individually. Also, when the auto white balance is turned on, the white balance is constantly adjusted inresponse to changes in the screen, but it is not possible with normal software to fix the settings adjusted by
the auto white balance.
In this case, software customization is required, so please contact us individually.
*3 Exposure time is set to "2 to the power of the set value [seconds]" when set in the Windows standard
properties. For example, a setting of -7 (the default) gives an exposure time of 2^(-7) = 1/128 seconds(approximately 7.81 milliseconds).
Otherwise, it will be set in units of approximately 100 microseconds.
For example, if the setting value is 80 (default value), the exposure time will be 80 * 100 = 8000[μsec](about 8 milliseconds)
If the exposure time exceeds the default 1 frame time, the frame rate will be reduced.
*4 For monochrome type, brightness, contrast, vividness, sharpness, gamma, and white balance settings areignored. Only the settings of exposure time, gain, and low light compensation (external IO) are valid.
In addition, if you have any questions about settings or individual customization, please contact us.

6.4. Output resolution setting
The camera supports the following three output resolutions.

*For 640x480 (VGA) output, the entire screen is reduced by the binning function.

6.5. Output format
The camera supports two output formats, YUV422/MJPEG, and can be switched by software.
*For monochrome cameras, the upper 8-bit data is output only to the Y signal of YUV422.
When displaying in RGB space, RGB output values may differ due to YUV-RGB conversion.

6.6. Frame rate setting
The camera has configurable frame rates for each output resolution.
The frame rates that can be set are shown in the table below. (default value is in red)

9.1. Recommended System Requirements●Host Controller
This camera is applicable to USB 2.0.
●CPUThe driver of this camera is applicable to computer architecture “x86” or “amd64”.
The specification of CPU effects directly the imaging process speed, therefore it is highly
recommended to utilize a high-end CPU if possible.
●Memory
In the viewer software, there is a data buffer which can store 4 to 8 frames.
Therefore, it is necessary to keep spare space at least for 8 frames in the memory.
(For example, when using 1.3MP color camera, 1280 x 1024 x 3 x 8 [byte] = 30[MB] is necessary.)
It is highly recommended to keep enough memory space especially when using high resolution
camera.
●OSThis camera is applicable only to the architecture of Windows NT (32bit/64bit).
Standard functions are confirmed with OS after Windows 7.
In addition, it is recommended to use Windows 10.
(Other platforms that support UVC, such as Linux and Android, can be used.)*Please refer to "Supported Platforms" below.

Caution■Please refer the restrictions below when you use ARTCAM series.
(1) Recommended System Requirements
If the system specifications do not meet the requirements recommended above, it may be difficult torun at the maximum frame rate.
(2) Supported platforms (operation confirmed)
Windows 7 32/64bit
Windows 10 32/64bit
Ubuntu Linux 14.04 32/64bit
Android OS (v6.0.1)
We have confirmed that it works on the above platforms,
Operation is not guaranteed on all devices and in all environments.
Also, even if it does not work due to lack of transfer bandwidth, it may work by lowering the frame rateof this product, so please try it.
We can also customize the frame rate, so please feel free to contact us.
(3) Connection of Multiple USB Devices
When connecting multiple USB devices to one USB host controller, some USB device may fail tofunction stably depending on the specifications of the host controller.
(Problem of power supply, data transfer bandwidth, etc.)
To avoid power supply problem, it is recommended to use powered USB hub.
