Point Grey, one of the world’s largest and most innovative providers of\u00a0high performance digital cameras for industrial, bioscience, traffic, and GIS applications, today announced the addition of a yet another new model to its popular line of Flea3 USB 3.0 cameras. This new Flea3 model combines the benefits of CMOS and global shutter technology in a low-cost, ultra-compact package.<\/p>\n

Compared to CCD, CMOS eliminates blooming, smearing, and consumes less power at higher frame rates.\u00a0 When combined with global shutter readout, the new FL3-U3-13Y3M-C delivers 1280 x 1024 distortion-free images of fast-moving objects at 150 FPS (8-bit) over USB 3.0.\u00a0 This new Flea3 model incorporates an On Semi \u00bd\u201d VITA 1300 monochrome sensor featuring 4.8 micron square pixels.<\/p>\n

The ultra-compact Flea3 measures just 29 x 29 x 30mm and provides a unique set of features dedicated to maximizing USB 3.0 reliability, including a 32 megabyte frame buffer for image retransmission; on-camera power, temperature, and status monitoring; and in-field updatable firmware. The camera also provides fixed pattern noise correction; look up tables; gamma correction; binning; and region of interest speed up. Unlike other manufacturers, Point Grey has developed its own USB 3.0 link layer IP which is implemented in an FPGA. \u00a0Without dependence on third-party chip vendors, Point Grey has complete control over the camera\u2019s core technology providing the ability to respond faster to customer feature requests and provide better customer service.<\/p>\n
