About e-CAM

e-CAM is e-con reference design featuring a camera board interfaced to a processor on its high speed CMOS interface. Customers also license the Direct Show Windows CE drivers and V4L2 based Linux drivers for the reference design. For processors that dont have the Camera ISP pipeline, e-con Systems provides the complete software stack for raw image sensors. The software stack has a wide variety of features ranging from color correction, gamma correction, dead pixel correction, color space conversion, sharpen filter etc.

e-con also offers individually crafted custom designs for customers interested in camera modules, other than the ones which are currently being offered as "off-the-shelf" solutions.
