This page should give a very, very short brief overview about what Elphel 353 camera is all about.
Dimensions & Weight
Example: NC353L-10369-HDD with 10369 IO board and internal 1.8" HDD installed:
Dimensions without HDD: 116mm х 45mm х 45mm
NC353L Weight: 150 - 215g (depending on installed internal hardware, excluding HDD)
Connectors
Example: NC353L-10369-HDD with 10369 IO board and internal 1.8" HDD installed:
SATA: Can be used to connect any external SATA device that is supported under Linux
Ethernet: 100MBit Network with POE (48V)
USB: USB 1.1 with 5V power supply
IDE: Used to connect internal HDD
Sync: Can be used to sync multiple cameras or trigger shooting images externally
RS323: Access to Console and debug output
Internal Hardware Modules
Strongly simplified the camera can be split up in 3 different hardware modules with their specific tasks:
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: (Field Programmable Gate Array) 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)
