Software decoding
Decoding runs on the host CPU, reducing engine size, cost and power consumption.


01Overview
The E20 is a 2.6 g imaging engine with a 1280 × 800 mono global-shutter sensor delivering up to 60 frames per second. It is designed for software decoding: the engine supplies images and your host processor runs the Dokivision decoding library.
This architecture gives device makers the lowest engine cost and power draw, with full control over decoding behaviour. Typical reading range is 45 to 590 mm on 13 mil EAN-13, and the engine is qualified for repeated 1.2 m drops.
02Key features
Decoding runs on the host CPU, reducing engine size, cost and power consumption.
A 60 fps global-shutter sensor captures moving codes cleanly.
Resolves 1D codes down to 2.5 mil and Data Matrix down to 5 mil.
A red laser aimer gives precise targeting across the full depth of field.
