The Harrier 10x AF-Zoom USB/HDMI Camera is a compact, low-power block camera option with simultaneous display of both HDMI and USB Video Class (UVC) v1.1 output.
This USB/HDMI autofocus-zoom camera is fitted with a 2MP Sony STARVIS CMOS sensor, offers 10x optical zoom (32x digital zoom), measures only 62.4mm x 55 x 45.5 (L x W x H) and weighs 152g. The up to 1080p60 Full HD video output is SMPTE 274M and SMPTE 296M compliant. Sophisticated camera features include Real-time True Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), Day & Night mode – Infrared Cut filter Removal (ICR), Digital Noise Reduction (2D + 3D DNR) and Digital Image Stabilization.
USB Video output is enabled when the board is connected to a SuperSpeed USB 3.x host. The HDMI output is enabled when an HDMI cable is connected. On power-up, the camera video mode may be selected via DIP switch settings on the board. Camera video modes, along with other functions, may also be controlled by sending VISCA commands over RS-485/RS-232/TTL or over the Harrier Virtual COM port, or using UVC commands. The USB interface serves as (UVC) video output, USB-based control input port and optional power supply. An example UVC video application (with source code and Visual studio projects for C++/CLI, C#, and VB) is available on request from Active Silicon.
The software development kit Harrier USB SDK provides classes, a library of functions, and a UVC example application. It also enables easy integration with ARM systems, in particular, the Jetson Orin. Read more on the support of Harrier USB cameras for Linux and ARM environments.
Active Silicon also offers block camera solutions with 3G-SDI/HD-SDI/HD-VLC™ video output and HDMI or USB only output. For more information, contact our team.
