Introduction
The SC20MPC Camera is a highly integrated serial JPEG camera module which can be attached to any host
system that requires a JPEG compressed still camera for embedded imaging applications.
The module uses a 1/4’’ CMOS color image sensor along with a JPEG compression chip that provides a low
cost and low powered camera system. The module has an on-board serial interface (TTL/RS232/RS485) that is
suitable for a direct connection to any host microcontroller UART or a PC system COM port.
The SC20MPC camera is capable of outputting JPEG format images only.
User commands are sent using a simple serial protocol that can instruct the camera to send high resolution
(160x120 to 1600x1200) JPEG images for storage or viewing.
The SC20MPC camera module comes in a compact form factor with a built in lens and PH 2.0 4Pin socket
connector that provides easy access to both power and serial data.
There are 8 lenses available for this camera from Spinel. A 60 degree (Standard), a 150 degree, 120 degree, 90
degree, a 45 degree, a 30 degree, a 15 degree and a 8 degree. The SC20MPC ships with the 60 degree lens
installed for standard order, other lenses can be installed in house before delivery for custom orders.
There is a locking screw on the side of the lens mount, which is used to lock the focus in place once set, to
prevent it from inadvertently being changed.
