Perfect High-Quality Imaging Across Any Environment
California & Chennai (Oct 07, 2024): e-con Systems®, a leading provider of OEM camera solutions with over 20 years of vision experience, is proud to announce the launch of STURDeCAM34 – an IP69K-rated 3MP automotive multi-camera designed for the most demanding applications in the automotive and industrial domains. It is based on onsemi’s AR0341AT CMOS image sensor that delivers up to 150dB (raw data output). With synchronized multi-camera support, you can connect up to 8 cameras to NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin using the GMSL2 interface, delivering high-performance multi-camera setups.
STURDeCAM34 sets a new standard in the industry with its advanced features that sort out the major pain points in the automotive market. Leveraging super−exposure pixel technology, the camera ensures superior imaging quality with impressive 140 dB HDR and superior LFM across the entire automotive temperature range.
A key innovation is e-con Systems’ patented GMSL hot-plugging/unplugging technology, which allows the camera to be connected or disconnected while the system is running, eliminating downtime or disruptions. STURDeCAM34 features an onboard ISP that enhances image quality and allows fine-tuning to meet specific customer requirements.
The camera’s stream health monitoring and recovery feature ensures reliable operation in automotive applications by continuously monitoring the health of sensor, ISP, and GMSL link.
“The AR0341AT’s super-exposure pixel technology is ideal for demanding environments the STURDeCAM34 camera targets. Its ability to capture clear images in challenging lighting conditions, combined with its low latency and high sensitivity, makes it a perfect choice for automotive and industrial applications,” said Shinao Ono, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Automotive Sensing Division, onsemi. “Additionally, the sensor’s low-noise architecture ensures optimal performance across a wide range of operating conditions, further enhancing its suitability for rugged automotive and industrial environments.”
STURDeCAM34 represents a major leap in automotive imaging technology,” said Suresh Madhu, Product Marketing Head at e-con Systems®. “The newly added GMSL hot pluggable technology, along with the error recovery mechanism, decreases downtime significantly and ensures that there is no single point of failure. The ISP, with enhanced fine-tuning, also promises greater image quality, even in challenging lighting conditions. This makes the camera an ideal solution for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Surround view, and other critical applications with challenging environmental conditions.”
