The Blackfly® S camera exploits the industry’s most cutting-edge sensors in an ice-cube form factor. Packed with robust features, the camera allows users to effortlessly create their preferred precise images and speed up their application development.
This includes both accurate manual control and automatic control across on-camera pre-processing and image capture. On-camera features, such as full compatibility with well-known third-party software that supports GigE Vision, as well as IEEE1588 clock synchronization, provides system designers with the required tools to rapidly design novel solutions. The Blackfly® S camera is available in USB3, GigE, board-level and cased models.
The Exact Images Required by Users
The Blackfly® S camera offers a choice of polarization, CMOS global shutter and high-sensitivity BSI sensors. True-to-life color is ensured by color transformation tools. Accurate manual control and sophisticated auto-algorithms are also included.
Develop Once, Deploy Anywhere
The Blackfly® S camera supports a variety of host system hardware architectures and operating systems. Users can effortlessly switch to board-level models for built-in systems. Streamlined product iteration with reliable form-factor is available across different sensor sizes.
Accelerate Application Development
The Blackfly® S camera can be used with third-party hardware and software. Robust on-camera features minimize code-writing tasks. Custom applications can be rapidly built with descriptive API logging and a rich-sample code.
