Point Grey Grasshopper 3 camera
Digital camera developer 541 Point Grey has announced a new addition to the Grasshopper3 camera family, which features high quality, high resolution CCD sensors with a USB 3.0 interface.

The new Grasshopper3 GS3-U3-60S6 camera models are based on colour and monochrome versions of the 576 Sony ICX694, a 1-inch CCD featuring 4.54 micron square pixels and capable of sending 2736 x 2192 images at 13 FPS and maximum bit depth, which uses Sony's EXview HAD CCD II technology to improve quantum efficiency, reduce smear and increase sensitivity, including into the near infrared. The sensor is capable of single tap readout for extended shutter, high gain imaging and multi-tap readout to increase the maximum frame rate.

Like all Point Grey USB 3.0 cameras, the Grasshopper3 uses a proprietary USB 3.0 link layer and frame buffer-based architecture for optimal performance and reliability, as well as an advanced image processing pipeline to enable color interpolation, look up table, gamma correction and pixel binning.
