Point Grey Grasshopper2 camera

The new 1.4 megapixel IEEE 1394b high-performance Grasshopper2 camera from Point Grey uses the exceptionally sensitive Sony ICX285 2/3in EXview HAD CCD and a 14-bit analogue-to-digital converter to generate high-quality 1.4 megapixel images at 30 FPS - double the rate of the previous Grasshopper. Measuring just 44x29x58mm in size, the device offers new features such as opto-isolated GPIO for industrial triggering and strobe output, and optimised performance imaging modes. Every Grasshopper2 GS2-FW camera is

The new 1.4 megapixel IEEE 1394b high-performance Grasshopper2 camera from 541 Point Grey uses the exceptionally sensitive 576 Sony ICX285 2/3in EXview HAD CCD and a 14-bit analogue-to-digital converter to generate high-quality 1.4 megapixel images at 30 FPS - double the rate of the previous Grasshopper. Measuring just 44x29x58mm in size, the device offers new features such as opto-isolated GPIO for industrial triggering and strobe output, and optimised performance imaging modes.

Every Grasshopper2 GS2-FW camera is equipped with a 32Mb frame buffer, 512Kb non-volatile flash memory, and onboard temperature and power sensors to monitor camera status. Mechanical features include an industry-standard C-mount lens holder, removable optical window (monochrome models) or IR cut filter (colour models) and IEEE 1394b connector with screw locks.

  • Polarisation is glaringly obvious, says Sony
    December 3, 2018
    Glare from the sun is a factor in a large number of road accidents – many of them fatal. But there is a solution at hand: using polarisation can mitigate the effect of glare and improve ITS camera enforcement, explains Stephane Clauss The effect of glare on driver safety has been well documented. A 2013 UK study by the country’s largest driver organisation, the AA, calculated sun glare was a contributing cause in almost 3,000 road accidents in 2012 alone. This represented one in 33 accidents on Britain’s
