The BDA-2500-32 is being marketed primarily towards companies that manufacture products for compact applications, like small dome cameras.
“Traditionally, camera designers making security cameras for tight spaces did not have the option of delivering high-quality image capture performance,” said John Monti, Pixim’s vice president of marketing and business development.
“This reference design represents a real breakthrough by bringing enterprise-class functionality – such as wide dynamic range, natural colour, and greater varifocal lens capabilities – to extremely small applications.”
Pixim said the new design, which accommodates focal-length lenses, means compact dome cameras can incorporate telephoto functions for the first time.
Cameras based on the BDA-2500-32 reference design are suitable for a wide range of applications, including the inside of lifts, above tills and in vehicles.
Devices that use the BDA-2500-32 reference board will also have access to the features offered by Pixim’s Orca chipset, including advanced exposure controls, multiple automatic white balance modes, AC line lock and an on-screen display with push button or remote control of menus. WDR controls, composite video output, activity detection alarms, digital PTZ controls and day/night control for mechanical IR filter switchers are also possible.
