Overview
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.

Features
Hardware
  • connectors:
    - shrouded header 4-pinUSB
    - shrouded header 12-pindigital I/O
  • ADC resolution: 10 bit (transfer 8 bit)
    		•
  • 4/4 digital I/Os opto-isolated
    		•
  • Hardware Real-Time Controller (HRTC) for time critical I/O and acquisition control by defining a sequence of operating steps
    		•
  • 8 MB image memory
    		•
  • expose and image transfer possible at the same time
    		•
  • flexible binning modes to reduce the resolution and increase the sensitivity of the sensors or to increase the frame rate
