Overview
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.
