OCHTA10 Sensor Low-light Micro USB Medical Endoscope Camera Module

This is a low-light macro USB medical endoscope camera module developed based on the OmniVision OCHTA10 CMOS image sensor. It adopts a bare module and Separate design, requiring an additional matching DSP board for use, and is connected via a USB 5PIN interface. The entire product is manufactured in accordance with the AA (Active Alignment) process in a Class 100 cleanroom, and has passed multiple international tests and certifications including CE, FCC, RoHS, and Reach, ensuring reliable quality. With a module diameter of only 0.9mm and a 120°±6° wide-angle lens, it can cover a broad field of view and effectively reduce detection blind spots. The sensor pixel array reaches 400 (H)*400 (V), with a single pixel size of 1.008μm×1.008μm, enabling it to capture high-definition images even in low-light environments. The product supports YUV & MJPEG image formats and realizes data transmission based on the USB2.0 UVC (USB Video Class) protocol. The standardized feature of the UVC protocol allows the bare module to quickly achieve compatible connection with various specifications of DSP boards without the need for additional development of dedicated drivers. The DSP board can flexibly select high-performance decoding solutions according to the needs of terminal devices, greatly reducing system integration difficulty and development cycles. It is perfectly compatible with various medical imaging host platforms and is an ideal choice for medical endoscope devices to launch quickly.

FAQ ◢

Q1: Does the module include a DSP board?

A1: No, it does not. This is a bare module with a Separate design, and users need to configure a dedicated DSP board additionally for normal use.

Q2: Can the OCHTA10 bare module be directly connected to a computer for use?

A2: The module is designed as a bare sensor and needs to be connected to a matching DSP decoding board via a USB 5PIN interface first to output UVC standard video signals. The DSP board, as a signal conversion bridge, is a necessary component for connecting to a computer or host.

Q3: Does the product comply with relevant international standards?

A3: Yes, it has passed international tests and certifications including CE, FCC, RoHS, and Reach, and complies with relevant industry standards.

Q4: What is the low-light performance of the module? Can it be used in dark environments?

A4: Based on the OCHTA10 sensor, the module has high sensitivity and can provide clear images under low-light conditions of 0.1 lux or below, making it very suitable for low-light medical applications such as endoscopes.

Q5: What optional DSP board solutions are available? Are there any recommended configurations?

A5: It is recommended to use the OmniVision official OV426 high-performance decoding board, which supports stable output at 30fps. For cost-sensitive applications, a general USB 2.0 UVC decoding solution can also be selected. Our technical support team will provide selection suggestions based on your requirements for frame rate, latency, and power consumption.
