The Blackfly camera line combines the USB3 Vision interface, 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 new IMX249 equipped Blackfly is sure to be a mould breaker. It features very high QE (82%), low noise and high frame rate on a large 1920x1200 format sensor.

The maximum frame rate of 41 FPS @ 1920x1200 becomes 100 FPS @ 640x466 (equivalent to 1/4" sensor) using ROI (Region of Interest) up to 145FPS has been achieved so far.
The is supplied with Drivers, Genika Astro Image Capture Software and a 2m USB3 Cable. Optionally the camera can also be supplied with a GPIO to 12V socket power lead which allows the camera to be powered from a battery for maximum noise reduction.
