[Elphel-support] information about NC353 camera

Tue Nov 21 13:19:55 PST 2017

Dear Tao Zhang,

The NC393-Stereo camera can be assembled similar to this camera:
https://www3.elphel.com/sites/default/files/images/mnc393-printed-inline.jpeg
but with 2 lenses. You can also specify the base distance between 2 lenses,
and we will try to accommodate it.
The 2 sensors are precisely synchronized, so you will get synchronized
stereo images from 2 sensors, and 2 stereo cameras also are synchronized
with the 10389 extension board. The 10389 also provides SATA and USB
interfaces and allows to connect the GPS. You might also consider using the
103696 Serial GPS Adapter Board with Synchro Input:
https://wiki.elphel.com/wiki/103696 that allows perfect synchronization of
the GPS with images.

I have listed all the major parts needed to assemble one NC393-Stereo
camera, itemized with price, please find another email with the quote
attached.

You can see the camera and take it apart in 3D model (we do not have the
Stereo model, but the main electronics parts are the same for all cameras)
here : https://wiki.elphel.com/index.php?title=Elphel_camera_assemblies  -
(click on the web/3D icon under each camera picture).

I wonder, if you would not benefit from the single camera with 4 lenses
instead of 2 Stereo cameras - please take a look at H-camera:
https://www3.elphel.com/sites/default/files/images/mnc393-printed-H.jpeg
These 4 lenses are synchronized and it is less expensive because 1 system
board can support all 4 lenses.

Camera operation manual is on our wiki page:
https://wiki.elphel.com/wiki/Tmp_manual
and there are more links to NC393 camera specifications, documentation and
SDK:
