INTRODUCTION
SMX-10Mx series cameras are megapixel CMOS cameras with USB2.0 interface
suitable for scientific and industrial application.
The cameras are designed for capturing, streaming and storing high quality digital
images.
The cameras are available in two modifications: with 8 bit output and with 10 bit.
There are the following models of SMX-10Mx cameras:
●SMX-10M1M (1.3 megapixel, monochrome)
●SMX-10M2C (2 megapixel, color)
●SMX-10M3C (3 megapixel, color)
All SMX-10Mx cameras feature:
●USB2.0 communication interface
●Duralumin housing with C/CS - mount
All SMX-10Mx cameras benefit:
●High speed
●Low power consumption
●No external power supply required
●Ease of use
●Compact size
●Adjustable frame rate
●External trigger output mode
Programmable functions include viewport window settings, adjustable exposure time
and gain, selectable sensor clock frequency and image decimation, flipping image
horizontally and vertically. The SMX-10Mx camera can be used in microscopy, video
conferencing, webcasting, surveillance and security systems, etc.

INSTALLATION
Install (if needed) USB2.0 adapter into your PC. Install all required drivers. Refer to your
USB2.0 adapter manufacturer's user guide for detailed instructions on hardware and
software installation.
Automatic Camera Installation
Browse for the downloaded via URL SMX10MX_CD folder. Start setup.exe to start the
SMX-10Mx series USB2.0 Software Package installation.
Welcome to the SMX-10Mx USB2.0 Camera Software Setup Wizard will appear (see
Figure 2-1 Welcome to the SMX-10Mx USB2.0 Camera Software Setup Wizard).
Figure 2-1 Welcome to the SMX-10Mx USB2.0 Camera Software Setup Wizard
In order to proceed with the SMX-10Mx USB2.0 Camera Software Package
installation, click the Next button.
On the third step, the SMX-10Mx USB2.0 Camera Software Setup Wizard will
determine whether your system configuration meets system requirements of the SMX-
10Mx USB2.0 Camera (see Table 1-6 System Requirements).
The following system information will be displayed:
●OS version
●USB2.0 Host Controller availability
Installation: Automatic Camera Installation
10 SMX-10Mx Series USB2.0 Camera User Guide
●Memory Size
●CPU Speed
Each piece of system information will be marked according to compatibility with the
SMX-10Mx USB2.0 Camera.
Current system information will be marked as one of the following:
●Ok (Found - for USB2.0 Host Controller)
●Warning
●Fail
System information that completely satisfy the SMX-10Mx USB2.0 Camera
requirements will be marked by Ok (for USB2.0 Host Controller - Found). In this case the
SMX-10Mx USB2.0 Camera will work properly (see Figure 2-2 Setup Wizard, System
information: satisfactory system configuration).
Figure 2-2 Setup Wizard, System information: satisfactory system configuration
The Warning status will be displayed in cases when the SMX-10Mx USB2.0 Camera
can be installed but might not work properly (see Figure 2-3 Setup Wizard, System
information: warning system configuration).
Installation: Automatic Camera Installation

SMX-10Mx Series USB2.0 Camera User Guide
Figure 2-3 Setup Wizard, System information: warning system configuration
The Fail status will be displayed in cases when the SMX-10Mx USB2.0 Camera will not
work at all with current system configuration (see Figure 2-4 The SMX-10Mx Setup Wizard:
failed to detect USB2.0 Host Controller).
Figure 2-4 The SMX-10Mx Setup Wizard: failed to detect USB2.0 Host Controller
In any of these cases click the Next button.
If the system information was marked as Warning or Fail, an error message will appear
