THine Upgrades Camera Development Kit (CDK)!
The upgraded CDK is now easier to use to customize even more THEIA-CAM™ features so users can achieve their unique embedded camera requirements.
The new CDK supports THEIA-CAM™!
We learned many customers like the image quality and many functions of THEIA-CAM™ THSCU101 and desire to customize before integrating into their applications.
Developing the new Header Board to accommodate the same Sensor Module using 13MP PDAF Sensor IMX258 and enhancing the software capabilities in the new CDK Ver. 2.2, we enabled the new CDK to make it easier to customize the ISP firmware for the THEIA-CAM™.
Referencing the THEIA-CAM™ firmware, you can also choose from a range of supported Image Sensors up to 16MP to develop your own ISP firmware and achieve your own unique camera system needs.
More Features Supported!
The new CDK features include but not limited to:
1.2Gbps/lane MIPI CSI-2 Tx (Max: 4.8Gbps / 4lanes)
PDAF (Phase Detection Auto Focus)
LED Flash
MIPI Lane Assignment (Tx and Rx)
Test Pattern Image Output without Sensor
Frame Counter
