Point Grey, a global leader in the design and manufacturing of innovative, high-performance digital cameras, today announced the addition of new 3.2 and 5 MP CMOS models to its Chameleon®3 USB3 Vision™ and Blackfly GigE Vision® camera lines.
The latest Chameleon3 and Blackfly models feature Sony’s 2nd generation Pregius sensors and set a new benchmark for global shutter CMOS by reducing pixel size and lowering temporal dark noise. The smaller 3.45 µm pixel size allows more pixels to be packed into a smaller optical format, allowing a wider variety of more compact and lower-cost lenses to be used.
The new Sony Pregius IMX264 and IMX265 sensors offer the same impressive imaging performance as the higher-speed IMX250 and IMX252, but at lower frame rate and lower cost.
We’re excited about the rapid expansion of our global shutter CMOS camera lines. Point Grey is currently shipping a total of 20 different camera models with Sony Pregius technology offering customers a choice of form factor, digital interface, resolution, frame rate, and price point.
