The EMA-30 is a fully hands-free, dual iris imager intended for wall mounted, physical access control (PACS) applications. Based on the proven iris imager design of CMITech’s EMX product line, the EMA incorporates a state-of-the-art internal mainboard with a quad-core ARM Cortex A9 SOC processor. It connects with external devices and networks with a full array of communications options, including Ethernet (through TCP/IP), Wiegand, serial ports, GPIO, and a low level relay.

This system integrates all essential PACS features, such as a proximity sensor for “always-on” operation, a tamper switch, front side buttons, an internal speaker for voice commands, and an elegant wall mounting system. Operating at a stand-off distance range of 32 to 35 cm, the EMA-30 is comfortable to use for physical access solutions, even in tight installations. CMITech offers an optional on-board iris encoding and matching algorithm with a data base of up to 10,000 iris template pairs, plus the necessary PACS identification codes including Wiegand. The iris image capture user interface is simple and intuitive, even for subjects with minimal acclimation or training. The EMA-30 provides exclusive subject positioning distance indicators, so that the subject can quickly and reliably place his or her eyes within the capture zone. Thanks to its unique distance calculation capability, subjects no longer need to guess at or hunt for correct eye placement. LED’s located within the mirror’s display easily guide the subjects into the correct position: a blue light indicates too far away, red too close, and green indicates the correct distance.

The proprietary face-finding function makes this a touch-free system. The iris imager head instantly tilts to the correct angle for each subject, automatically adjusting for the subject’s height. This tilt head feature is also optically implemented, so that EMA-30 can be placed behind an optical glass or plastic partition, such as those found in an outdoor protective enclosure.

The EMA-30 simultaneously collects both iris images. The system’s images exceed the ISO 19794-6 standard for image quality, ensuring optimal matching accuracy that is essential for single factor authentication in large subject populations.
