USB3 Vision Camera

The Mercury USB3.0 camera series is an industrial vision camera, with an USB3.0 interface. USB3.0 is an appropriate interface for high resolution and high-speed cameras. Furthermore, this interface is very suitable for embedded platforms such as the Raspberry Pi 3, NVIDIA Jetson TX1, TX2 and Tegra TK1.
This model is interesting for you when your application complies with the following conditions:
-    An industrial camera
-    Maximum cable length of 4.5 meters
-    Only one cable is required to connect the device
-    Dimensions are: 29x29x29mm
-    Suitable for PC’s and embedded platforms: ARM V7 & ARM V8
-    Optional hardware triggering

Color Camera

Color camera’s use a Bayern pattern to generate a color image. Every pixels RGB value is calculated by the value of the pixel, combined with the values of the neighbor pixels, resulting in less sharper images then images taken with a monochrome camera.
Due to the RGB filters on the pixels, every pixel receives, using white light, approx. 66% less photon’s then with a monochrome camera. To compensate te reduction capture light, the following options are possible:
•Increase light
•Increase gain
•Increase exposure time
•Select more sensitive sensor
•Select more light sensitive lens

With I/O

The USB3 camera I/O, uses and 8 pin HR25 hirose connector, that is standard used in the industrial machine vision market. It has 1 input that can be used to hardware trigger the camera. The output of the camera can be used to trigger the light source, for example an LED. Additional, the camera has 2 GPIO, general purpose input / outputs that can be programmed using the SDK. The electrical schemes to operate the I/O of the camera can be found in the manual.
