mvBlueFOX-M

  • Compact industrial CCD & CMOS camera modules with Hi-Speed USB
  • High quality sensors up to 2592 x 1944 pixels
  • Gray scale and color versions
  • Integrated Bayer color conversion and image processing
  • Hardware Real-Time Controller (HRTC)
  • HALCON, NeuroCheck and LabVIEW drivers available

The mvBlueFOX-M module is the flexible board-level version of the compact industrial CCD & CMOS camera solution mvBlueFOX and especially for OEM customers. A superior image quality makes it suited for most applications. The driver in combination with the FPGA represents a perfect team which reduces the PC load to a minimum during preprocessings like Bayer color conversion.
