mvBlueFOX - CCD & CMOS USB 2.0 cameras
  • Compact industrial CCD & CMOS cameras with USB 2.0
  • High quality sensors from VGA up to 5 Mpixels
  • 8 Mpixels memory
  • PLC-type real-time sequencer (HRTC)
  • FPGA on-board hardware LUT 10 bits to 8 bits
  • Up to 12 bits ADC
  • CMOS sensor -200w with 110 dB high dynamic range (HDR)

The mvBlueFOX is a compact industrial CCD & CMOS camera solution for any PC with USB ports. 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. The standard Hi-Speed USB interface guarantees an easy integration without any additional interface board.
