June 26, 2013 - e-con Systems announces e-CAM50IMX6 5MP Full HD MIPI Camera Board for Freescale i.MX6 family of processors. The e-CAM50IMX6 camera board is interfaced directly to the CSI-2 MIPI interface on the Freescale SABRE Lite board. e-CAM50IMX6 includes e-CAM57_MI5640_MOD, a 5 MP autofocus 2-lane MIPI CSI-2 camera module with 70mm flexible PCB length.
The e-CAM50IMX6 board comes with full schematics and Linux driver support with source code. e-CAM50IMX6 can stream Full HD 1080p@30fps and also supports HD 720p@60fps. The i.MX6 processor has support for dual camera interfaces and has the ability to record video at 1080p and 720p resolutions in various industry standard video encoding formats. The e-CAM50IMX6 contains camera board, flex cable and an interface board.
The Interface board is plugged directly on to the MIPI CSI-2 camera header of Freescale SABRE Lite board and the camera board is connected through a flex cable supplied along with the kit. e-CAM57_MI5640_MOD is based on Omnivision’s OV5640 image sensor and comes with a 70mm flex cable and this can be customized to any form or shape. This provides flexibility in enclosure design as the camera module can be placed as far as 100 mm from the processor interface and solves the complex mechanical design requirements of a typical consumer device. OmniVision‘s OV5640 CameraChip sensor, which is part of the e-CAM57_MI5640_MOD, has an embedded ISP.
The sensor features automatic image control functions including automatic exposure control (AEC), automatic white balance (AWB), automatic band filter (ABF), 50/60Hz automatic luminance detection, and automatic black level calibration (ABLC).
Price: $69.
