Board level USB 2 cameras for OEMs - iDS

iDS LE series camera

iDS LE series CMOS board cameras stand out as a compact, inexpensive and versatile range, universally suited through its USB 2.0 technology, making them ideally compatible with PCs, notebooks, IPC and embedded systems. Some of the features include optional housing customization, flexible Software Development Kit (SDK) and bandwidth management.

These pocket-sized cameras feature high-quality CMOS sensors with resolutions starting from WVGA (752x480) to QSXGA (2560x1920). The CMOS cameras come with either a 1/3" or 1/2" sensor class and their frame speeds run up to 87 full frames per second or over 1000 frames/sec with Areas of Interest (AOI). This is driven by the camera's freely selectable pixel clock. They are offered in both monochrome and colour.

iDS' LE series CMOS cameras provide a very cost effective solution for many OEM applications where the camera is designed into a system or instrument. They are supplied with or without camera enclosure and so can be fitted into an instrument or system design more easily and more cheaply. The cameras come in 24 different variants including options with enclosure and M12 lens, board only with M12 lens adapter or as a board camera with no lens adapter.

The board level models measure 36 x 36 x 20 mm and 36 x 36 x 8 mm for the model without lens and weigh a mere 12g or 8g.

The LE series CMOS USB2 cameras feature advantages such as bandwidth management via the USB bus which allows for dynamic bandwidth assignment meaning that each connected device (camera) is allocated its own bandwidth rather than occupying an entire bus. The camera's Software Development Kit (SDK) provides over 100 functions to the user and makes it possible for integration with C++, C# and VB and is suitable for Windows and Linux development. The camera SDK functionality allows for full control of the camera operation and the process of acquiring images.

The iDS uEye LE series offers good affordability and compatibility and is suitable to many OEM applications - Your imagination is our challenge.
