ITV-GECWV407M User Manual
CMOS TYPE CAMERA
Application
The ITV-GECWV407M JPEG compression module performs as a video camera or a JPEG
compressed still camera and can be fixed into all kinds of system. For example: remote
monitoring, vehicle monitoring, visible the doorbell, camera phones, digital image records,
industry control, access control, etc. Users can send out a snapshot command from the
host in order to capture a full resolution single-frame still picture. The picture is then
compressed by the JPEG engine and transferred to the host.
Feature
1. Small size: 28mm x 20mm (L x W).
2. 0.3M CMOS ensor, VGA resolution, down sample to QVGA.
3. Video-out: VGA & 60fps, optional.
4. Low power consumption, 3.3V operation.
5. UART interface support up to 115.2Kbps.
6. Built-in JPEG CODE.
7. Built-in lens, optional.

User Manual
1. Serial Interface
1.1 Baud Rate
The ITV-GECWV407M supports total 5 types of baud rate: 9,600bps, 19,200bps,
38,400bps, 57,600bps and 115,200bps. Default baud rate is 115,200bps. In other words,
host needs to use 115200bps at the first connection with ITV-GECWV407M. After the first
connection, host can change the baud rate to other supported values.
1.2 Single Byte Timing Diagram
A single byte RS-232 transmission consists of one start bit, 8-bit contents and one stop bit.
A start bit is always 0, while a stop bit is always 1. LSB is sent out first and is right after the
start bit.
Figure 5 RS232 communications –single byte timing diagram
1.3 Command Timing Diagram
A single command consists of 4 or more (depends on data length’s value) continuous
single byte RS-232 transmissions. The following is an example of GET VERSION (56h,
00h, 11h, 00h) command.

The host sends this command to get the image data from frame buffer.
1.6.5.1 Command format: 56 00 32 0C 00 0A00 00 00 00 P3 P4 where P3 (4 bytes) informs
JC409M-W01 that how many bytes of data the host is going to read. It must be multiple of 4.
P4 (2 bytes) represents the delay time between the command and data received from COM
REPLY (see 6.6.5.2). The time unit is 0.01 millisecond. For example: P4 = 10 00, delay time
is 10 milliseconds.
1.6.5.2 COM REPLY: 76 00 32 00 00 P5 76 00 32 00 00 where P5 (n bytes) is the image
data which host wants to get. n is equal to P3 in this case.
1.6.5.3 Communication protocol:
Note: Before sending this command, users should issue GET FBUF LEN command to
get the image size first.

1.6.8 COM REPLY command
The COM REPLY is a UART command which is sent from ITV-GECWV407M in order to
inform the host whether the command which was just sent is executed well or in order to
transmit the data which the host wants to get.About all cases of COM REPLY command
please refer to the above commands sections.
NOTE: When the host issues SET BAUDRATE command, SET SAMPLE SIZE
command or SET COMPRESS RATIO command, the system needs to restart to take
effect. These parameters are stored into camera module’s built-in EEPROM. So next
time module boots up, these parameters still work.

To verify the correctness of the image data, we can see the data starting at FF D8 and
ending at FF D9. It tells us that this is the correct image data. Then follows procedures
below, we can get an integral image:
1. create a file and name it as XXX.JPG
2. put the correct image data into it
3. save the file
Performs the above operation, the image is shown as below:
