541 Point Grey has released the Blackfly S, a new family of USB3 Vision and GigE Vision cameras designed to meet complex imaging requirements, enhance system automation, improve time to market and deliver more reliable solutions.

The camera’s compact size, comprehensive features, high frame rate, sensors and interfaces make it suitable for a variety of applications including intelligent traffic systems.

The first two Blackfly S models feature a 29 mm ‘ice cube’ case and a USB3 interface; the 5MP Blackfly S BFS-U3-51S5 model uses Sony’s Pregius IMX250 global shutter CMOS sensor with 2448 x 2048 image resolution at 75FPS. The 1.3MP Blackfly S BFS-U3-13Y3 uses ON’s Semi PYTHON 1300 global shutter CMOS sensor with 1280 x 1024 image resolution at 175FPS.
