541 Point Grey has added new 5- megapixel models to its Flea3 GigE Vision digital camera line. The new Flea3 FL3-GE-50S5 models are based on colour and monochrome versions of the popular Sony ICX655 CCD and are capable of streaming high quality 2448 x 2048 images at 8fps over Gigabit Ethernet. The Flea3 measures just 29 x 29 x30 mm in size and offers a variety of the industry’s most popular 576 Sony CCDs, ranging from VGA to 5 MP. Like all Point Grey GigE cameras the Flea3 complies with version 1.2 of the GigE Vision specification, which allows the camera to work seamlessly with software from Cognex, Mathworks, Matrox, MVTec, and NI, as well as with Point Grey’s own FlyCapture SDK.

“The new 5 MP Flea3 offers an unbeatable combination of small size and high resolution,” says Michael Gibbons, director of product marketing at Point Grey. “The Flea3’s small ice-cube form factor and GigE interface make it an ideal analogue camera replacement, and because it uses a 2/3” global shutter Sony CCD the imaging performance is far superior to that of other 5 MP rolling shutter CMOS-based cameras.”
