USB3 Vision camera with e2v / Aptina sensors - mvBlueFOX3
- Compact industrial camera with USB 3.0
- High quality sensors from VGA up to 10 megapixels
- Gray scale and color versions
- Hardware preprocessing on-board (FPGA)
- Image memory 256 MBytes
- Excellent cost-benefit ratio
- Available as single-board version
As options:
At the same time as the future USB3 Vision standard is published, MATRIX VISION introduces the mvBlueFOX3 camera family with a wide range of selected CMOS sensors. Look forward to higher resolutions, higher frame rates and compact size.
Your advantages with the mvBlueFOX3
You won't lose an image with the internal image memory again.
The image memory buffers images and enables useful features like Record / Playback, Pretrigger as well as sequence recordings.
For counting and triggering of events, counters are a handy feature for your application.
You can generate output signals variably, control illumination systems, synchronize several cameras, and a lot more.
The suitable filter for your lighting situation or environmental condition.
You can choose between daylight cut (Cold Mirror), IR cut (Hot Mirror) or glass (without filter) filter, which can be intergrated.
