STH-MD1 USER’ S MANUAL ? 2001 VIDERE DESIGN 1 Introduction The STH-MD1 is a compact, low-power digital stereo head with an IEEE 1394 digital interface. It consists of two 1.3 megapixel, progressive scan CMOS imagers mounted in a rigid body, and a 1394 peripheral interface module, joined in an integral unit. The CMOS imagers are from PixelCam (now a part of Zoran Corporation). They have 1288 H by 1032 V pixels, and come in either monochrome (STH-MD1) or colorized (STH-MD1

STH-MD1 USER’ S MANUAL ? 2001 VIDERE DESIGN 2 Quick Start The STH-MD1/-C comes assembled, the interface module mounted to the imager module. The module comes without mounted lenses. To set up and test the STH-MD1/-C, you will need the following: 1. Pair of C-mount lenses, for 2/3” or larger imager. 2. Host computer with a 1394 PCI or PCMCIA card, OHCI compliant. 3. 1394 6-pin cable. 4. Capture software or Small Vision System installed on the host computer. Install the

Any x2 or x4 subsampling is allowed, including combined binning and decimation. 6.5 Subwindowing Often the area of interest in an image will be a small portion of the whole image. In this case, there is no need to send all of the image data. The CMOS imagers support subwindowing, where only the pixels from a rectangular subwindow of the

It does not depend on the length of a line, since the CMOS imagers always use the same time to output a line, no matter how many pixels it contains. Table 6-1 shows the frame rates for maximum frame sizes in each of the decimation modes
