1. INTRODUCTION
The FastCamera13 is a 1.3 megapixel CMOS camera with internal memory and FPGA’s that
enable it to do real-time processing. Thus it is what one would term a “smart” camera. The
standard programming that is supplied with the base camera forms the basis of the most used
and demanded function for data processing. It is expected that each customer may wish to
customize this programming for its use. This can be achieved by purchasing additional IP from
FastVision or in-house development. Inquires or discussions are always welcome
2. FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS FASTCAMERA 13
The block diagram below shows the major subsystems in the camera. The camera is designed to
support many different applications by customization of the programmable logic in the camera.
FastVision or the Customer can customize the size and content of the FPGAs and memory in the
camera to contain many different features, processing algorithms, and storage schemes. This
manual discusses the ‘Standard’ version of the cameras. Customization of the FPGAs, in the
camera, requires significant support from FastVision, please contact FastVision for a quote, for
the development tools and support.
