Why STURDeCAM57’s On-Camera RGB & IR Frame Processing Changes Everything for DMS

Suresh Madhu
by Suresh Madhu
Most discussions about RGB-IR cameras focus on what they capture. The more consequential question for engineers building DMS systems is what happens to that data after it leaves the sensor, specifically, who does the processing, and what it costs the system when that work lands in the wrong place. e-con......

Sony IMX678 vs IMX715 vs IMX415: Which Sony STARVIS Sensor Does Your Vision System Need?

Prabu Kumar
by Prabu Kumar
Sony’s IMX415, IMX715, and IMX678 CMOS image sensors represent successive generations in Sony’s imaging portfolio. All three sensors deliver 4K Ultra-HD (3840 × 2160) resolution but differ significantly in pixel architecture, sensitivity, and imaging performance. These sensors are widely used in industrial inspection, smart surveillance, and factory automation, where imaging...

How e-con Systems’ Latest RGB-IR Global Shutter Camera Empowers Industrial Automation & Robotics

Suresh Madhu
by Suresh Madhu
Industrial vision systems are held to a different standard than consumer cameras since their error rates have direct production consequences. e-con Systems' STURDeCAM57 combines global shutter capture, RGB-IR dual streaming, integrated 940nm IR illumination, an onboard ISP, a GMSL interface, and an IP67-rated enclosure in a single unit built for...

Enabling Flexible Multi-Sensor USB Cameras with Lattice CrossLink-NX FPGAs

Prabu Kumar
by Prabu Kumar
Fixed-function USB camera chips define a rigid pipeline from sensor to output and leave no room for reconfiguration. e-con Systems has built a USB camera solution on Lattice Semiconductor's CrossLink-NX33U FPGA that replaces that constraint. The result eliminates the need for separate ISP chips, external USB controllers, and multiple PCBs...
