THE SURROUNDEYE INTERFACE BOX

This equipment (SurroundEye Interface Box) performs conversion of the communication
data "between the camera ECU and PC" in order to set the SurroundEye system.

• The camera ECU converts the output camera image signal to a signal that conforms
to UVC standards for communication with a PC.

• The camera ECU converts the input and output serial signal to a USB signal for com­munication with a PC.

By installing the enclosed application CD in a PC, the camera ECU settings, software
version display, calibration function and fault diagnosis function can be operated with a
PC. Please see the application software PDF manual for details.

”SurroundEye Interface Box”is described as ”OVM Interface Box”in the manual of appli-
cation software.
