Advanced Steps
UVC（USB Video Class）Configuration
Partnering with Infineon, the UVC capabilities of THSCU101 are scoped to support variety of commercialized final products. In other words, the THSCU101 is supposed to work as a USB Camera in the market. Therefore, well-designed software should be able to support most of UVC functions listed in the above section that THSCU101 equips.
Extension Configuration
With Infineon’s support as well as THine’s years of experiences assisting numerous customers worldwide, we developed as many as 8 Extension items with variety of choices based on actual market use cases. Also, we developed a POWERFUL tool, Camera Extension Controller (a Windows app), to configure those items.
