			==Storage Media==
			[[Image:NC353L-10369-COMPASS.jpeg\|thumb\|150px\|Example: NC353L-10369-GEO with CF card and compass module installed]]
			With [[10369]] interface board it is possible to connect any storage device using IDE or SATA that is supported by Linux. This also allows the connection of a hardware raid.


			Elphel offers 2 hardware options for camera internal storage:
			* 2 CF card slots
			* 1.8" HDD.

			Video can also be recorded over network (100MBit) on a host computer.


			Video can be written/transferred in the following formats/containers:
			* Apple Quicktime(R)
			* OGM
			* JPEG Image Sequence
			* JP4 RAW Image Sequence
			* Ogg Theora
			* HDR

			==Additional Peripheral Devices==

			* '''Soundcard (USB)''': adds the possibility to record/stream audio synced together with the video.

			* '''GPS receiver (USB) & compass module (USB)''': allows geotagged video/still image recording.

			* '''Micro Controller''': Allow the micro controller to take full control over the camera. [[Arduino \| Arduino Example]]

As above, but requires the [[10347]] controller and [[10344]] interface board board and a mechanical shutter. It can supply a maximum of 3 fps. No turnkey solution available.

			==Power Supply==
			There are 3 hardware configurations available to provide power to the camera:

			* 48V DC power supply using the same cable as used for network connection.

			* 12-36V DC for mobile applications with best efficiency at around 15V. This also uses the standard network cable. This works with any type of battery pack that can supply a stable current between 12-36V.

			* single 3.3V source


			Here are some results on power consumption test made in different configurations with Elphel 353 camera, 5MPix sensor, 10349 board, 1,8" HDD,....

			Strongly simplified the camera can be split up in 3 different hardware modules with their specific tasks:

			[[Image:Camera-353-Hardware-Modules.jpg]]

			'''Sensor-Frontend''': houses the actual sensor that delivers the digital image

			* Aptina 5MPix CMOS (video sensor)
			* Kodak 11MPix CCD (still image sensor)
			* Kodak 16MPix CCD (still image sensor)

			'''FPGA''': ('''F'''ield '''P'''rogrammable '''G'''ate '''A'''rray) processes the incoming image data (color manipulations, compression, etc) in realtime

			* Xilinx (R) Spartan3e 1200K gates

			'''CPU''': can direct the processed image stream (video) over a network or into a file (HDD or CF card), it can do all tasks a normal embedded computer can do (web server, peripherals, etc. )

			* Axis ETRAX FS (200Mhz CPU, 64MB SDRAM, 128MB system flash memory, 64MB image memory)
