2. Introduction
ARTCAM-SS 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.
We provide a variety including cased cameras, board cameras which can be easily incorporated to other equipment,
and so on.

3. Main Features
・High Resolution, High Frame Rate
We provide high speed CMOS cameras of a wide range of resolutions from 0.36 mega pixels to 10 mega pixels.
・USB2.0 Interface
Artray SS series adopts USB2.0 interface, so the data can be delivered to PC directly and no capture board is needed.
・Small and Light
Artray SS series is available with C-mount. The small dimensions and light weight makes it easily to be installed indifferent places. Also, the board type SS series camera with board lens is easy to be incorporated with other machines.
・Varieties to Your Needs
Artray SS series has a variety including cased cameras, cameras with mini B connectors, board type with board lensand board type with C-Mount cameras.
For ARTCAM-036SS / 130SS / 500SS series, monochrome and near infrared types are available upon your choice.
・ROI (Region Of Interest)
One major benefit of CMOS sensor is the ROI function which enables readout of designated partial images with afaster transmission speed.
・Sub-sampling function
This function results in a more pleasing output image with reduced subsampling artifacts and improves the frame rate.
・Global shutter (ARTCAM-036SS series)
ARTCAM-036SS series adopts global shutter which is very suitable for machine vision.
・Bounded Viewer Software
We provide the Viewer Software - ART-Viewer (Windows XP/Vista/7).
With this software, users can easily preview, save images and change camera settings.
・Direct Show compatible
Except for being recognized as a standard USB device on the PC, some of the cameras may also be recognized as a
DirectShow device.
(Please check if the model is DirectShow compatible with the sales representative before purchase)・2D Measurement & Filing Software(Optional)
Useful 2D measuring functions are available with the optional 2D Measuring & Filing Software - ART-MEASURE.
・Recording Software(Optional)
The optional recording software - ART-REC allows the user to save movies in AVI format.

Caution■Please refer the restrictions below when you use ARTCAM.
(1)USB host chip
Please use Intel authorized USB2 host controller.
Make sure that you find “Intel(R) 82801DB/DBM USB2 ENHANCED HOST CONTROLLER” on USB Controller
window. The direction is as below :"Control Panel" -> "Hardware" -> "Device Manager" -> "USB Controller"
NOTE : We do not guarantee the proper operation of this camera on external USB host cards.
Based on the design, the external USB host card may have a slow transfer rate as being connected to a host via PCI
bus.
(2)Hyper Thread Bios
Please disable this function in case your PC has a built-in Intel hyper thread.
(3)Use of other USB2.0 hardware
The data on our camera/converter is transferred in bulk mode. For this reason, when using our camera/converter,
please avoid using other bulk transferred USB2.0 hardware such as Memory stick, External HDD, External DVD,
CDROM and etc.
Especially if the PC adopts a Cypress control chip, it may not recognize the later connected bulk transfer device if thedevice is connected when the Artray camera is in function. This issue is hard to be solved because the problem is on
the lower firmware of the control chip and the PC bios.
As a solution, we recommend to install a PCI USB host card to the PC and connect external USB hardware to this port
only.
(4)USB2.0 cable Extension
We cannot guarantee the proper operation of the extension cable even it is compatible with USB2.0 unless theextension cable is confirmed by us. This is because the USB transfer frequency of this camera is 192MHz.
What may cause the problem is that the regulation of the power lines becomes not enough, and so causes impudencemismatch on data signals.
*For the recommended extension cable, please contact our sales department. (TEL : +81-3389-5488)
Users may encounter problems such as "Camera error", "Disappearance of Device driver", "Operation error inhigh-speed mode", "Unknown USB device" and etc. if an unconfirmed extension cable is used.
