Next Generation of USB 2.0 Cameras

The next generation of the USB 2.0 camera series mvBlueFOX works even more precise: A new analog-to-digital converter changes the sensor data and ensures on that way an output of up to 1,024 gray scale values (10 bit). An image memory of 8 MB makes the camera more flexible and robust in practice. The image data are buffered in the camera locally and can be sent again if transfer errors appear, in a tough industrial environment with multiple cameras, for example.

Besides, everything will remain unaffected. The mvBlueFOX with a size of 38.8 x 38.8 x 58.5 mm is available with a lens holder for C-, CS-, S-Mount lenses, in the same way customer specific wishes are possible. The range of available sensors for the second generation is extensive. CCD and CMOS sensor as gray scale or color version up to 5 megapixel are available. Furthermore, the camera contains two digital I/Os, which can be used for trigger and flash.

Excepting the drivers for Linux and Windows, the camera also supports DirectShow, NeuroCheck, Halcon, LabView and the Matrix Vision image processing library mvIMPACT completely.

Especially for OEMs, the industrial camera mvBlueFOX is available as a manageable and flexible board level version.
