mvBlueFOX-MLC

  • Compact industrial camera series with USB 2.0
  • High quality gray scale and color CMOS sensors
  • 8 Mpixels on-board memory
  • Hardware LUT 10 bit to 8 bit

The mvBlueFOX-MLC module is a fully featured compact single-board camera perfectly targeted for space and cost sensitive OEM applications. A superior image quality in combination with a very high frame rate make the camera ideally suited for embedded applications. The driver in combination with the FPGA represents a perfect team which reduces the PC load to a minimum.

1 The operation in device specific AEC/AGC mode is limited in (non continous) triggered modes. AEC/AGC only works while trigger signal is active. When the trigger signal is removed AEC/AGC stops and gain and exposure will be set to a static value. This is due to a limitation of the sensor chip.

2 Adjustable settings, real limits and increment depend on clock frequency / AOI size / Binning mode. Some cameras may only reach max. expose with with min. clock and max. AOI.
