Point Grey's New USB 3.0 Model Fast and Sensitive Due to EV76C560 Image Sensor

The FL3-U3-13E4C/M-C provides a global shutter mode for distortion-free motion capture and an electronic rolling shutter mode for low read noise and improved dynamic range. It is ideal for applications that require fast frame rates and high image quality, such as 3D scanning, characterization of parts, and eye or gesture tracking. The camera's CMOS image sensor makes the camera well-suited for outdoor imaging applications, such as intelligent traffic systems, where smear must be minimized.

Point Grey's Flea3 camera line measures just 29 x 29 x 30 mm and provides a unique set of features dedicated to maximizing USB 3.0 reliability, including a 32 megabyte frame buffer; on-camera power, temperature, and status monitoring; and in-field updatable firmware. The camera also provides a full image processing pipeline, including color interpolation, look up table, gamma correction, pixel binning functionality, and more.

Since launching the Flea3 USB 3.0 in 2011, Point Grey shipped thousands of cameras and has led the way in imaging over USB 3.0, explains Michael Gibbons, Director of Sales and Marketing. Mr. Gibbons adds, We continue to add new models, improve upon our USB 3.0 ecosystem, and offer multiple resources for users on using this powerful interface.
