The EVK Main is a versatile hardware kit which enables engineers to evaluate any ST BrightSense image sensor or associated evaluation promodule, including the CAM-56G3, on a computer. This comprehensive evaluation solution includes an EVK Main board with a USB Type-C® output and a mechanical holder for stable image capture.
The modular EVK Main can be used in various ways to perform image sensor evaluation. Featuring two input connectors, it offers the user the flexibility to evaluate image sensors either as turnkey evaluation promodules, or combined with any off-the-shelf M12 lens. Engineers can plug any of the CAM-56G3, CAM-66GY, CAM-55G0 or CAM-55G1 promodules onto the common flex-to-board connector at the bottom left of the board.Â
The mechanical holder embedded in the kit provides additional flexibility to perform evaluation in three different mechanical configurations: on a flat surface such as a desk, inserted on a laptop as a webcam, or fixed on a tripod.
Featuring a USB3 output, the EVK Main provides immediate plug-and-play connection to computers and laptops, and is supported by free STSW-IMG501 evaluation software from ST.
