E3ISPM Series
Product Introduction
The E3ISPM series represents C-mount USB3.0 hardware ISP cameras featuring Sony Exmor/Exmor R/Exmor RS back-illuminated CMOS sensors, combining high sensitivity with low readout noise. The integrated 12-bit Ultra-Fine hardware ISP video stream engine completes demosaicing, auto exposure/gain, one-touch white balance, color/saturation/gamma/brightness/contrast processing and other real-time operations within the camera, significantly reducing host CPU utilization while improving transmission stability.
The cameras support real-time 8/12-bit switching and arbitrary ROI functionality, with resolution coverage from 1.5 MP to 45 MP. The USB3.0 high-speed link ensures smooth preview and acquisition performance. The housing features precision-machined zinc-aluminum alloy CNC construction for robust reliability and long-term stability. Bundled with ToupView/ToupLite software and cross-platform SDK support (Windows/Linux/macOS/Android) for seamless system integration and secondary development.
Typical applications include brightfield/darkfield/low-light and fluorescence microscopy, biomedical image analysis, semiconductor and materials inspection, industrial online inspection.
