1. Introduction
This is the Fotonic E and P-series User’s Manual. Please read this guide carefully, as it will be your
guide when installing and using your Fotonic camera.
1.1 Overview
Fotonic E-series is a series of 3D cameras that use the Time of Flight technology. The P-series
cameras are based on structured light and triangulation technique by Prime sense. Both measure
the surrounding in front of the camera and send the measurements to a computer for further
processing. It’s also possible to use the cameras internal ARM CPU for embedded image processing
and then get a smart camera.
2. Quick start
2.1 Package contents
See Quick Start Guide for a complete list package contents and accessories.
2.2 Installation and Setup
2.2.1 Downloading and installing software
Software for supported OS can be downloaded from Fotonic’s homage (www.fotonic.com). There
