2.8 Megapixel FireWire HD camera delivers 26 frames per second for machine vision
The ICX674 sensor supports high definition (HD) 1080p30 imaging and uses Sony’s EXview HAD CCD II technology, a further evolved version of the EXview HAD CCD technology, to improve quantum efficiency, reduce smear, and increase sensitivity, including into the near infrared. Every Grasshopper Express camera is equipped with a 32 MByte frame buffer, 14-bit analog-to-digital converter, and on-board temperature and power sensors to monitor camera status. Also included with every camera is the FlyCapture SDK, a full software library that provides a common control interface for all Point Grey cameras under both Windows and Linux. The 800 Mbit/s FireWire-b (Express IEEE 1394b) interface allows fast image transfer and is well-suited to building low latency, highly deterministic, multiple camera networks.
