10 and 14 Mpixel USB3 Vision cameras now in production

Three rolling shutter CMOS sensors by Aptina are among the first round of the new USB3 Vision camera's serial production. The sensors are characterized in particular by their enhanced quantum efficiency which minimizes crosstalk and leads to sharper images with vibrant colors even in low-light conditions. The available sensors are a 1/3" 3.1 Mpixels color sensor with a resolution of 2052 x 1536 pixels which is suitable for demanding full-HD applications with 60 images per second, a 10 Mpixels color and gray scale sensor (3664 x 2748, 7 Hz), and a 14 Mpixels color sensor (4384 x 3288, 6.3 Hz). All sensors feature a Global Reset Release trigger functionality with the possibility to control a flash function to minimize rolling shutter artifacts. The mvBlueFOX3 (39 x 39 x 24 mm; B x H x D) is suited for industrial applications and features an integrated 256 Mbytes image memory, a huge FPGA as well as 2/4 digital inputs and outputs.
