Pixim Inc., Mountain View, Calif., provider of image sensors and processors for enterprise security cameras, has announced the BDJ-2500 reference design and its accompanying camera development kit (CDK), enabling for the first time the rapid development and production of enterprise-class, single-board cameras with wide dynamic range.
The BDJ-2500 reference board, which measures 32mm by 55mm, enables "skinny" security camera applications, such as in door jambs, ATM machines, taxicabs, transit systems and minidomes. It is optimized for low bill-of-materials (BOM) cost, meaning camera makers can produce the circuit board very inexpensively, sourcing components in Asia. At the same time, it incorporates the wide dynamic range and other image quality advantages of Pixim's Digital Pixel System technology.
