Camera module for TRITON supports PXA270 and PXA320

TRITON-CAM works with Windows CE 6.0 and Linux

The latest accessory for our PXA270 and PXA320 TRITON modules, TRITON-CAM is a  production quality plug and play camera module for the StarterKit development systems. TRITON-CAM is a complete solution for image and video capture for Windows CE 6.0, CE 5.0 and Linux.

Using the PXA270 or PXA320's dedicated camera interface to provide the highest possible performance, TRITON-CAM is a ready to use integrated camera module which interfaces seamlessly with StarterKit development system.

For development purposes, the TRITON-CAM module is connected to the StarterKit development system via a new Multimedia Interface (MI) board which plugs directly onto the baseboard, and also provides an optional QVGA LCD touch screen. The TRITON-CAM plugs directly onto the MI, avoiding the use of complex wiring. The development system runs Windows Embedded CE 6.0 out of the box, and the video image captured via the camera is displayed on the screen in real-time.

To transition to a production solution, a custom baseboard is created which houses both the TRITON processor module and the new camera module. Based on modification of the supplied baseboard schematics and BSP (Board Support Package), a platform can be created in just a few weeks ready for manufacture using the TRITON and TRITON-CAM modules.

TRITON-CAM is based on the Omnivision OV9655 1.3 MegaPixel(MP) fixed-focus CMOS image sensor, and supports resolutions up to 1280x1024. An optional autofocus 2.0MP camera will be available during Q4 07. As a TRITON-based development moves to production, any required customisation of the camera module driver required to match the target application, baseboard design, BSP adaptation, and provision and integration of codecs are all available as services with rapid turnaround. For volume applications, the module design and driver source-code can be licensed.
