6.6 Megapixel, 10-Bit, 40MHz

Ultra-High Resolution Portrait Digital Camera

Silicon Imaging Inc.

Silicon Imaging is proud to continue its innovation in ultra-high resolution machine 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.

2208 x 2960 Megapixel Imaging - Ultra Resolution
The SI-6600 is an all-digital CMOS camera that delivers 6.6 Million pixels of resolution and is capable of running at 6 frames/second at its full 2208 x 2960 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 of documents or films and scanning of biometrics for handprint or facial recognition.

10-Bit Pixel Clock Sampling – Sub-Pixel Accuracy
The SI-6600 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 7~40MHz allows for trade-offs in speed versus exposure time and lower noise.

200 FPS - Windowing & Subsampling
Ideal for object tracking and high-speed Motion analysis, the SI-6600 is capable of generating imagery at over 200 frames per second by reducing the size of the readout image (ex. 100x100). This windowed Region-of–Interest (ROI) can be moved dynamically, creating an entirely electronic pan/tilt/zoom function within the camera field-of-view.

USB2.0 Bus-Powered – 40MB/sec Transfers
For low-cost and portable connectivity, with data transfer rates up to 40MB/sec, the SI-6600U provide convenient capture using the High-Speed 480Mb/sec USB 2.0 interface. It is a bus-powered unit, consuming less than 500mA at 5VDC and will operate without any external power supply. The precision-machined C-mount housing includes an integrated tethered USB cable. For OEM board level configurations, two General Purpose Outputs are accessible; Pull-Up and pull-down driven transistors to be used to control light sources and switches

Microsoft-XP™ Live Mode Driver - Fast capture
For applications which require a combination of high-resolution and streaming high-frame rate video images, Silicon Imaging has developed a custom driver which can request and capture double buffered images at the driver level. This method enables immediate request to camera for next image without user level software intervention. The double-buffers allow one image to processed by the host PC, while another image is being readout from the camera and filled into the user allocated memory space.
