Silicon Imaging Inc.

Silicon Imaging is proud to continue its innovation in high-resolution color vision camera. Driven by the growing demand for consumer Digital Still Cameras, CMOS sensors are continuing to break technical barriers and surpass the performance characteristics of CCD’s in many photonic, imaging and consumer applications. By utilizing a single highly integrated CMOS device, which incorporates Megapixel sensing areas, timing generation, signal processing and high bandwidth outputs, Silicon Imaging has developed a very compact, low-power, ultra high speed Megapixel digital camera system.

2048 x 1536 Megapixel (3.2MP) - Ultra Resolution
The SI-3300 is an all-digital ½” format CMOS camera that delivers 3.2 Million pixels of resolution and is capable of running at over 12 frames/second at its full 2048 x 1536 resolution. The entire package is only 45 x 52 x 50mm (33 x 40mm x 22mm in PCB) and is small enough to placed on a robot for semiconductor machine vision inspection or placed in an outdoor housing for remote surveillance. It is ideal for live visualization and handheld instrumentation.

10-Bits Sampling – Sub-Pixel Accuracy
The SI-3300 MegaCameraä uses 10-Bit digitizers to sample the pixel data. Converting the pixel data directly to digital at the sensor head eliminates pixel-sampling jitter and enables accurate sub-pixel metrology, image analysis and improved live video reconstruction. A programmable clock which ranges from 20~40Mhz or up to 80MHz with -H version, allows for trade-offs in speed versus exposure time and lower noise.

Subsampling with Binning – Video Preview
Ideal for high speed preview and focusing, the SI-3300 is capable of generating imagery at over 30 frames per second by reducing the size of the readout image in color subsampling mode, This entire imager is readout by binning 4x4 groups of pixels into 2x2 bayer super pixels with increased sensitivity, less aliasing and faster readout rates. The camera also supports up to 3x binning and 8x subsampling.

1000FPS Windowing and 720/1080P HD Modes
A small region of the imager can be readout at frame rates in excess of 1000fps, with speed increasing with reduced vertical and horizontal settings. At 1920 x 1080 and a 75MHz clock the output rate would be 30fps or 1280x720 at 73MHz will be 60fps. The window size and position can be adaptively changed on frame-by-frame basis.

Automatic Black Level Correction
The SI-3300 has automatic black level calibration, which measures the average value pixels from two dark rows of the imager for each of the four colors. The pixels are averaged as if they were light sensitive and passed through the appropriate color gain. This average is then digitally filtered over many frames and compared to minimum and maximum acceptable thresholds for automatic correction.

CameraLink Digital Interface - 57.6K Serial Mode
An industry standard forum has adopted Camera Link, for low cost connectivity and cabling of cameras and frame grabbers at very high speeds. The SI-3300-CL utilizes the high speed CameraLink interface to output 2048 x 1536 10 bit data at 60MHz continuously to a frame grabber and directly into PC memory for further processing. The single cable includes image data, vertical and horizontal synch, LVDS Triggering and 9600 baud Serial communication. For High-Speed communication, the SI-3300 also has a 57.6kb mode for faster register updates. this camera complies with the standard, it is compatible with many popular frame grabber and image processing hardware devices and fiber-optic extender for extended distance transmission.

GigE-Cameralink – Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity

Now you can capture high-speed MegaCamera images to your PC from distance of a 100-meters using CAT-5 wire using the Silicon Imaging GigE-CameraLink Interface. The GigE-Cameralink captures MegaCamera digital images and transmits them via 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet directly to your PC at speeds over 100MB/sec.
