Overview
The Canon 35MMFHDXS Evaluation kit features an ultra-high sensitivity 2.76 MP industrial CMOS image sensor from Canon. The sensor’s enormous 19µm pixels, which minimize noise and dark current and allow control over readout position and frame rate, make the 35MMFHDXS and LI3030 unique in capabilities among all other CMOS sensors for low light imaging. The camera is available with an AIA USB 3.0 Vision Interface (U3V), and a video output interface.
Combined with Critical Link’s software tools designed for our Arria 10 based processor card, the Canon 35MMFHDXS Evaluation Kit makes sensor evaluation and product integration quick and easy. Critical Link also supports a board set version of the camera for customers designing their own mechanicals or managing other integrations; contact us for more details.
Evaluation Kit Contents
The Canon 35MMFHDXS Evaluation Kit allows integrators and end users to assess sensor performance and provides assets for image system designers to help accelerate development time. The Evaluation Kit features a camera with a pre-installed 35MMFHDXS or LI3030 19µm, 2.76 MP CMOS sensor with raw data serial output via a USB 3.1 (Gen 1) interface. The evaluation kit has an open architecture design and gives developers the option to embed processing and software with the on-board ARM and FPGA*.
The 35MMFHDXS Evaluation Kit includes:
- Evaluation camera with pre-installed sensor (mono, RGB, or RGB-NIR )
- Accessory package for out-of-the-box operation (quick start guide, power supply, all necessary cables)
- Embedded software to setup the sensor, acquire image data, and communicate over USB 3.1 interface with any USB 3 compliant UI
- PC-based UI application available for download to communicate with the camera
- Sensor board design files source code*
- VHDL code for the FPGA*
*Source code and VHDL code only available upon request with an NDA
NOTE: A Lens is not included in this kit.
As the lens plays a critical role in any imaging system, it is imperative that a suitable lens is selected to properly evaluate sensor performance for your end application.
When selecting an appropriate lens, there are several key factors which must be considered: Lens Type, Lens Mount, Focal Length, Sensor Size, Resolving Power, and Aperture to name a few of the more important ones. Some of these factors are associated with your application, and some are directly tied to how the CMOS sensor will perform.
