- (1888PressRelease) August 14, 2013 - St. Louis, USA / Chennai, India - e-con Systems Inc., a leading embedded design services company specializing in development of advanced camera solutions is now acknowledged as a Cypress Design Partner at SILVER membership level.
e-con Systems has worked with Cypress Semiconductor Corp. on its EZ-USB® FX3™ USB 3.0 peripheral controller from its launch and developed a USB UVC stack that is compatible with the Windows and Linux Operating Systems. e-con has developed products around the FX3 solution, leveraging its expertise in CMOS image sensors and sound understanding of USB UVC protocol. The Plug-n-Play UVC stack developed around the FX3 firmware provided by Cypress does not require any drivers to be installed on the host side and works seamlessly with any DirectShow(Windows)/V4L2(Linux) compliant applications for accessing and controlling the camera.
By leveraging the highly-configurable 32-bit, General Programmable Interface (GPIF™ II) 2.0 interface of FX3, e-con has developed an FX3 firmware framework that can interface any video source (CMOS/CCD image sensor, Thermal imager, NTSC/PAL video source, HDMI/DVI video source) to a PC host on both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 interfaces.
e-con Systems' See3CAM (http://www.e-consystems.com/See3CAM-USB-3-Camera.asp) - USB 3.0 camera series, uses the Cypress FX3 controller and the first product of this family, an 1.3MP Global Shutter USB 3.0 UVC camera, See3CAM_10CUG has been already launched in the market. e-con has also customized its FX3 based USB3.0 camera designs for various customers for meeting their requirements.
