In scenarios with strict requirements for image quality and real-time performance, such as medical surgeries, industrial inspections, and drone aerial photography, traditional acquisition devices often limit their application efficiency due to issues like insufficient resolution, low transmission rates, and high costs. The birth of the 4K USB TYPE-C video capture board, with its integrated design of “high-speed transmission + dual 4K output + low-cost domestic chips”, has completely broken through this bottleneck and become a “hexagonal warrior” for high cost-performance video capture.
Ⅰ. Dual 4K Output: A dual breakthrough in picture quality and frame rate
Traditional acquisition modules often face the trade-off between “picture quality” and “frame rate”, while the 4K USB TYPE-C video capture board achieves “having both fish and bear’s paw” through a dual interface design of TYPE-C and HDMI:
TYPE-C interface: Supports 4K/15FPS video output, perfectly compatible with lightweight terminals such as laptops and mobile devices, meeting the requirements of portable scenarios.
HDMI ring output: Supports 4K/30FPS ultra-high-definition output, providing higher frame rates for large monitoring screens and professional displays, ensuring smooth dynamic images without trailing.
Application scenario: In the operating room, doctors can transmit the 4K field camera images in real time to the mobile terminal through the TYPE-C interface for preliminary diagnosis, and at the same time project the high-definition images to the large screen in the operating room through the HDMI loop for team collaboration and analysis.
Ⅱ. 5Gbps high-speed transmission: Say goodbye to latency and real-time response
Developed based on the USB3.0 standard, this module has a transmission rate as high as 5Gbps, which is more than ten times that of the traditional USB2.0. This feature enables it to easily meet the real-time transmission requirements of 4K ultra-high-definition videos, ensuring clear, smooth and lag-free pictures.
Medical imaging: In endoscopic surgery, 4K images need to be transmitted to the doctor’s operating end with a delay of milliseconds. Any delay may lead to surgical risks. The 5Gbps transmission capacity of this module provides doctors with a precise operation experience of “what you see is what you get”.
Industrial inspection: In the defect detection of high-speed moving parts on the production line, the module can transmit 4K images in real time to the AI analysis system to ensure the accuracy of defect identification.
Iii. Intelligent Control: Full-chain Empowerment from “Collection” to “Decision-making”
This 4K USB TYPE-C video capture board is not only a “data mover”, but also an “intelligent control hub” :
Remote control: Through a computer or TTL serial port, users can adjust parameters such as the camera’s focal length, exposure, and white balance in real time without manually touching the device. For instance, in drone aerial photography, ground operators can remotely adjust the camera zoom to capture the details of distant targets.
MCU interconnection: Supports communication with external microcontrollers (MCUS) to achieve interlinked control of cameras with mechanical arms, sensors and other devices. In industrial automation scenarios, modules can trigger robotic arms to perform actions such as grasping and sorting based on the content of the picture.
Ⅳ. Cross-platform compatibility: Plug and play, reducing development costs
This module supports multiple operating systems such as Windows, Mac, and Linux, and most systems do not require driver installation, significantly reducing the complexity and cost of development.
In the medical industry, hospitals can quickly integrate modules into existing surgical teaching systems without the need to replace hardware or redevelop software, thus saving deployment time.
Security monitoring: Security enterprises can quickly develop monitoring solutions compatible with multiple cameras based on the UVC protocol standard of modules, shortening the product launch cycle.
Ⅴ. High cost performance: Integrated design, cost reduction and efficiency improvement
The traditional acquisition solution requires multiple external devices such as encoders and control boards, while this module integrates acquisition, encoding and control functions into a single module, significantly reducing external connections and enhancing system stability
Cost reduction: The module adopts domestic integrated chips, and the hardware cost is lower than that of imported solutions.
Space optimization: With a module size of only 48x48x5.0mm, it can be easily embedded in compact devices such as drones and endoscopes, saving internal space.
Vi. Industry Applications: Comprehensive coverage from operating rooms to the sky
In the medical field: When paired with the FCB-ER8530 surgical field camera, it resolves the issue of surgical shadowless lamp light spots, providing a 4K ultra-high-definition surgical field of view and facilitating remote medical care and AI-assisted diagnosis.
Industrial inspection: In semiconductor chip inspection, the module can transmit 4K images to the AI system to identify micron-level defects and improve the yield of qualified products.
Drone aerial photography: Supports integration with industry drones such as DJI, providing 4K high-definition video transmission, suitable for tasks such as power inspection and geological exploration.
Video conferencing: Provide enterprises with 4K ultra-high-definition video conferencing experiences to ensure clear and distinguishable picture details during remote collaboration.
Conclusion: The future of visual acquisition has arrived
The 4K USB TYPE-C video capture board, with its five core advantages of “dual 4K output, 5Gbps high-speed transmission, intelligent control, cross-platform compatibility, and high cost performance”, has redefined the standard of high-end visual acquisition. Whether in the fields of healthcare, industry, security or unmanned aerial vehicles, it will become a key engine driving the intelligent upgrade of industries.
