GigE Vision

The FLIR Blackfly Board Level variants are high performance, machine vision, area scan cameras designed for embedding into tight spaces. Unlike many board level cameras, it boasts a rich feature set applied to the latest CMOS sensors; the same feature set as the cased version. It is ready for integration with proven compatibility with popular SBCs and SOMs. The Blackfly S board level models enable OEMs to develop smaller, lighter, and lower cost solutions with embedded system connectivity and rich features.

Small Package, Powerful Results

The Blackfly S combines the newest CMOS image sensors with our new and intuitive Spinnaker software development kit. The many new advanced camera features are designed to meet your complex imaging needs and speed up development time.

The Blackfly camera line combines Power over Ethernet, highly sensitive sensors, industry-leading affordability and a host of unique features for uncompromising value. Every Blackfly model comes packed with functionality designed to maximize performance and reliability, including a 16 MByte frame buffer; LED status indicators; and an on-camera image processing pipeline that provides color interpolation, gamma, and lookup table functionality. The Blackfly camera weighs just 36 grams, measures 29x29x30mm and uses 2 watts of power.

The Flea®3 line of USB3 Vision, GigE Vision and FireWire cameras offers a variety of CMOS and CCD image sensors in ultra-compact, low-cost packages. Measuring just 29 x 29 x 30 mm, the Flea3 has the same small, lightweight form factor as many industry-standard “ice cube” analog cameras. The Flea3 also offers a host of features, including enhanced opto-isolated GPIO; a 32 megabyte frame buffer; non-volatile user data storage; various trigger modes; on-camera processing including color interpolation, look up table, gamma correction, and pixel binning functionality. To maximize reliability, the Flea3 provides a unique set of features including on-camera power, temperature, and status monitoring; and in-field updatable firmware.

The Grasshopper®3 camera line provides high-performance, high-quality imaging by combining FLIR expertise with the latest in CCD and CMOS technology. The Grasshopper3 line leverages multi-tap Sony EXview HAD CCD II™ sensors, Sony Pregius™ global shutter CMOS, and offers unique low noise imaging modes important in scientific applications. Supporting USB 3.1 and GigE with Power over Ethernet, these cameras are ideal for a wide variety of demanding applications including flat panel inspection, 3D measurement, ophthalmology, flow-scanning cytometry, and fluorescence imaging.

The fully redesigned Grasshopper®2 camera series is the next generation version of the high performance Grasshopper and offers users a GigE Vision digital interface and a FireWire 800 (1394b) interface. The Grasshopper2 uses the same form factor as the existing Grasshopper and a unique selection of image sensors, and adds several new features, including enhanced opto-isolated general purpose I/O and improved imaging performance.
