ZR 36506 - Multi-mode Digital Camera Chip
Zoran’s USBvision ZR36506 is a revolutionary, multi-mode digital camera chip offering
integrated live digital video and audio capture functionality.
Powered by an integrated microprocessor, the chip’s high level of versatility facilitates the
design and implementation of multi-function digital cameras. The ZR36506 supports on-line
operation (over USB, wireless or any other, non-USB connections), for such applications as live
audio/video streaming and surveillance, as well as standalone applications, such as digital still
cameras with audio recording capabilities.
For applications requiring alternative digital video connection schemes (wireless connections,
surveillance cameras or devices lacking USB support), the ZR36506 may be integrated into
camera designs built around a serial interface for transferring images, audio clips and
compressed video.
S upport for OEM Customizations
Zoran supplies a full reference design kit, software A/V streaming WDM driver which is
Microsoft DirectShow compatible, digital camera TWAIN drivers and software API support for
the ZR36506 FLASH memory – transfer and management (preview, deletion, photo album
creation). The API reference kit contains header and library files, as well as sample programs
demonstrating their use. Device drivers may easily be renamed (OEM USB vendor and product
IDs may be programmed via a .INF file) to reflect different OEM branding schemes.
