The 4D Systems microCAM Serial JPEG Camera Module - RS232 is a highly integrated serial camera module which can be attached to any host system that requires a video camera or a JPEG compressed still camera for embedded imaging applications. The module uses an OmniVision CMOS VGA colour sensor along with a JPEG compression chip that provides a low cost and low powered camera system. The user commands are sent using a simple serial protocol that can instruct the camera to send low resolution (160x120 or 80x60) single frame raw images for a quick viewing or high resolution (640x480 or 320x240) JPEG images for storage or viewing. The uCAM comes in a compact form factor with a built-in lens and a 4-wire connector that provides easy access to both power and serial data.
Features:
• On-board EEPROM provides a command-based interface to external host via RS-232 serial link
• UART: up to 115.2Kbps for transferring JPEG still pictures or 160x128 preview images with 0.75fps
• On board OmniVision OV7640/8 VGA colour sensor and JPEG CODEC for various resolutions
• Built-in down sampling, clamping and windowing circuits for VGA, QVGA, 160x120 or 80x60 image resolutions
• Built-in colour conversion circuits for 2-bit gray, 4-bit gray, 8-bit gray, 12-bit RGB, 16-bit RGB or standard JPEG preview images
• No external DRAM required
• Supplier code : µCAM-232
