The Harrier 30x AF-Zoom USB/HDMI Camera GS with global shutter offers simultaneous display of both HDMI and USB Video Class (UVC) v1.1 output with full HD image output at 1920 x 1080p. The video output is SMPTE 274M and SMPTE 296M compliant.
The camera has a powerful 30x optical zoom lens (32x digital zoom) with Day&Night function and features a Sony Global Shutter CMOS sensor. The global shutter sensor allows the capture of moving objects without the distortion that can occur with rolling shutters.
When the board is connected to a SuperSpeed USB 3.x host, the USB video output is enabled. 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, a USB-based control input port, and an optional power supply. An example UVC video application with the Harrier USB SDK (application source code and Visual Studio projects for C++/CLI, C#, and VB 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 about support of Harrier USB cameras for Linux and ARM environments.
Special camera features of the Harrier 30x AF-Zoom USB/HDMI Camera GS include Day & Night mode (ICR functionality), 2D+3D Digital Noise Reduction and Defog Function, which make this global shutter block camera especially suitable for low-light scenarios and challenging environments. The camera also supports Digital Image Stabilization, Intelligent Motion Detection and Privacy Mask Function, as well as High/Back Light Compensation (HLC/BLC). External trigger and strobe out function are available.
Active Silicon also offers camera solutions with Ethernet IP output. For more information, contact our team.
