541 Point Grey has extended to its Grasshopper3 USB3 Vision product line with the Grasshopper3 GigE Vision PoE camera family.

The first two models in the new lineup feature 576 Sony CMOS and CCD global shutter devices.  The Grasshopper3 GS3-PGE-23S6 models use colour and monochrome versions of the 24.4 x 30.5mm (1/1.2-inch) Sony IMX174 Exmor global shutter CMOS sensor and offer image resolution of 1920x1200 pixels and frame rates up to 46 FPS. The IMX174 is the first global shutter sensor from Sony and delivers a wide dynamic range performance of 73dB while maximising sensitivity and low light response with a peak quantum efficiency of 76%.  The sensor’s region of interest functionality can also be used to enable high-definition HD 1080p format.

The Grasshopper3 GS3-PGE-60S6 models use colour and monochrome versions of the 25.4mm (1-inch) Sony ICX694 global shutter CCD sensor and offer image resolution of 2736x2192 pixels and frame rates up to 13 FPS. The high resolution ICX694 device uses Sony’s ExVIEW HAD CCD II technology, which is targeted for improved near infrared response.

Point Grey says the new models allow them to offer more competitive price support to applications that require long cable length, such as intelligent traffic systems.
