Datasheet

Expanding its GigE Vision camera portfolio, Point Grey has announced the BFLY-PGE-50H5 camera models which are based on Sharp's 5MP CCD mono and colour sensors. The technology has been developed by Sharp to provide highly improved sensitivity and image quality compared with conventional CCDs. Its unique microlens design collects light more efficiently resulting in improved quantum efficiency in the visible and near infrared regions.

This camera model is capable of streaming 2448x2048px images at 7.5fps. The Blackfly supports cable lengths of up to 100m using Gigabit Ethernet, is compatible with GigE Vision third-party applications and provides a host of features including PoE, temperature and status monitoring, in-field updatable firmware, colour interpolation, look up table, gamma correction, pixel binning functionality and much more.

Michael Gibbons, Director, Sales and Marketing, Point Grey, commented: “We’re excited to expand our Blackfly camera line-up by introducing a new Sharp CCD to our image sensor portfolio. Sharp has been a longtime CCD sensor manufacturer in the security industry, which requires image capture with high visibility regardless of day and night. The combination of improved imaging performance over existing 5.0MP CCD sensors, high resolution and very competitive price, makes this new sensor ideal for industrial applications such as factory automation, inspection and 3D scanning.”

The BFLY-PGE-50H5C is list priced at $995/€745 and is available to order now.
