The system emphasizes compact design, low power consumption, and long-term stable operation. It provides USB3.0, GigE, and CoaXPress high-speed interfaces (model-dependent), supporting multiple bit depth outputs and bandwidth control to accommodate different cable lengths and acquisition bandwidth requirements. The built-in hardware ISP performs real-time processing including Demosaic, AE/AGC, AWB, Gamma/LUT at the camera level. The system supports free-running, software/hardware trigger, and multi-camera synchronization. I/O provides opto-isolated trigger/flash control and programmable GPIO for coordination with light sources, motion platforms, and other peripherals.
The series includes ToupView and cross-platform SDK (Windows/Linux/macOS; C/C++/C#/Python, etc.), compatible with DirectShow/TWAIN for easy system integration and secondary development.
