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.

    For some, machine vision is the coming technology. For others, it’s already here. Although it remains a relative newcomer to the ITS sector, its effects look set to be profound and far-reaching. Encapsulating in just a few short words the distinguishing features of complex technologies and their operating concepts can sometimes be difficult. Often, it is the most subtle of nuances which are both the most important and yet also the most easily lost. Happily, in the case of machine vision this isn’t the case:
