SmartSight® Mv100
What makes a machine vision camera different from other types of cameras?
Video Camera
Frame Rate
Fixed by the video standard, typically 25, 30, 50, or 60 fps
Resolution
Fixed by the video standard.
Shutter
Typically rolling, sometimes global.
Synchronization & Triggering
Not applicable
Image Data
Encoded, requires frame grabber to intercept
Machine Vision Camera
Frame Rate
Tunable to match the application needs, limited by frame rate and bandwidth
Resolution
Scalable to match application needs. Multiple sensor and resolution options
Shutter
Typically global, sometimes rolling
Synchronization & Triggering
Support generating and receiving trigger signals between other pieces of equipment
Image Data
Direct transfer of image data in standard formats
Still Frame Camera
Frame Rate
Single frame capture, slower than video
Resolution
Fixed by sensor
Shutter
Usually rolling shutter
Synchronization & Triggering
Manual
Image Data
Saved to internal memory, manual retrieval
SDK Available
The SmartSight® MV100 utilizes a GUI (Graphical User Interface) application which serves as the primary interface for interacting with the SmartSight® MV100 system. To utilize this GUI, users will need to have the Spinnaker Full SDK downloaded.
Users will need an account with FLIR to access the download.
