45CMF Camera 3D . Step File View and Download

ADTi provides customers the 3D.step file for 45CMF for client to view or download for their own system integration

Package List

This is a quick start guide for 45CMF, which has the most usefull information that you need to setup your 45CMF at first time, please let us know if you still have questions.

Introducing ADTI latest 45MP full frame camera with Sony IMX 366 image sensor-the ADTi 45CMF camera module, which is an ADTI self-developed 45MP full frame camera module, it adopts CMF design that focuses on the chromatic, tactile and decorative identity of industrial camera product. What's more, our engineers considered the product's application in the drone environment, so this product has extremely light weight, extremely small size, and all-aluminum heat dissipation performance.

you should have the camera and accessories shows in the above photo, if you are missing anything, please contact us.

Connect the Camera

Please follow the below photo for camera connections.

Camera GPS Protocol and SDK - Serial Port Control Protocol#1

45CMF full frame camera module has GPS protocol for direct image geotagging and camera SDK for both Windows and Liunx through the camera serial port control protocol (UART)

Port type:

  1. UART_Port

  2. Type: 3.3v TTL Serial port

  3. BaudRate: 230400

  4. Data Bits 8 Stop Bits 1 No Flow Control No Parity

MAVlink and Geo-tagging (QGroundControl) #2

This page will show you how to connect the camera to pixhawk for MAVlink QGC

The ADTi 45CMF cameras can work directly with ADTI POS &CTRL Unit for MAVlink QGC, if you are using standard PX4 or Ardupilot firmware and standard QGC for ground control software, you do not need to do any another work, simply connnect the camera with POS & CTRL Unit, choose the right IP address inyour video feed device such as GCS or you PC (192.168.144.100 ) and then connect and power on.

you will see the video feed, as well as QGC will automatically download the camera QGC user interface.

  1. Hardware Connections , you will need:

1Flight controller with PX4 or ardupilot and compatible with QGC

2) ADTi 45CMF Camera

3) ADTi POS Unit (Camera POS & CTRL Units)

4) Cable for connecting the camera

5) Cable for connecting the flight controller

  1. Please review the following video for details:

ADTI CAM Assistant 1.1 #1

ADTI CAM Assistant 1.1 is a ADTI self-developed camera module PC (windows 64) system for 45CMF module camera settings.

Please download the

Please NOTE: if you PC can find the camera once connect with USB, but could not connect to the software, then you need a USB Hub to provide 5V sufficient power supply to camera.

Driver Installation

1. Connect the camera to the computer with the USB cable.

When you access the ADTi camera for the first time, you will see other devices that are not driven under the Device Manager, the device name is ADTi Mapping Camera, as shown in the figure below.

2. Open zadig-2.7.exe to start installing the driver, it will recognize all the current USB devices, please select ADTi Mapping Camera in the drop-down menu , and then select WinUSB(v6.1.7600.16385) in the right side of the green arrow, then click Install Driver.

MAVlink and Geo-tagging (QGroundControl) #1

This page will show you how to connect the camera to pixhawk for geo-tagging the photos.

The ADTi 45CMF cameras support standard NMEA message geotagging to the photo Exif information. Baseon the pixhawk output NMEA, which connects to the ADTi 45CMF camera via a ADTi POS Unit for direct geotagging, the following will guide you through how to connect the hardware and set the pixhawk parameters.

Also ADTi 45CMF combines with ADTi POS Unit, is compatible with MAVlink, so User can remote control the camera functions by Qgroundcontrol.

  1. Hardware Connections , you will need:

1)Pixhawk Flight control

2) ADTi 45S V1 Camera

3) ADTi POS Unit

4) Cable for connecting the camera

ADTI CAM Assistant 1.1 #3

ADTI CAM Assistant 1.1 is a ADTI self-developed camera module PC (windows 64) system for 45CMF module camera settings.

  1. CAM Setting

CAM Setting = camera setting change, there are some parameters that you can simply change and save by ADTI CAM Assistant 1.1.

  1. Exposure parameter setting,If your drone is fixed-wing, select a parameter faster than 1/1000.

Format your SD Card

Once you get ADTI CAM Assistant 1.1 ready, now you can formet your SD card with your camera module.

Once you put SD card in the camera, connect the ADTI CAM Assistant 1.1,click [connect]:

After the camera connects to the DTI CAM Assistant 1.1, click [Format SD]:

Camera GPS Protocol and SDK - Serial Port Control Protocol#3

45CMFfull frame camera module has GPS protocol for direct image geotagging and camera SDK for both Windows and Liunx through the camera serial port control protocol (UART)

Setting Camera Parameters Command

Example for set the shutter speed:

$Set,",1000,*

means set camera shutter speed to 1000, change the number will set different speed (800, 1000, 1800)

Power the Camera

Power the camera by connecting the VIN and GND wih 3-6S lipo battery.

12-28V DC power supply

VIN = 12-28V

GND= Ground

take 2-3 minutes to install the driver.

3. After the installation is complete, you can see that the ADTi Mapping Camea is in a normal state under the Device Manager.

4. Reconnect the camera to the computer once, then you can use the software to set up the camera normally .

Caution: If the computer has previously installed the libusb-win32 driver, you need to remove the corresponding device and uninstall the driver first.
