Acclaimed bestseller digital IEEE 1394 machine vision camera

The Marlin is AVT`s classical most-sold IEEE 1394 machine vision camera. Since 2004, many thousand Marlins are part of various different image processing applications. Due to its modular design (angled head, side-entry connectors, AVT modular concept), it fits with almost every application.

• IEEE 1394a (400 Mb/s)
• Sony CCD sensors (1/3, 1/2, 1/1.8), 2/3 CMOS sensor
• 7 models (VGA to 2 Megapixel)
• Options
  • Various IR cut/pass filters
  • CS-Mount
  • Angled head
  • Lateral cable exit
  • White medical housing

Marlin cameras are equipped with many useful real-time image pre-processing functions. They are performed by the FPGA inside the camera – with no additional CPU load on the host, so that an inexpensive system is sufficient.

• Programmable LUT, white balance, hue, saturation
• Debayering
• Auto gain, auto exposure
• Color correction
• Shading correction
• Sub-sampling, 2x binning (b/w)
• AOI (with speed increase)
• Sequence mode - changes the image settings on the fly
• Image mirror
• Deferred image transport
• SIS (Secure Image Signature, enhanced time stamp)
• Storable user settings

With its modular and flexible design and the real-time pre-processing functions, this machine vision camera (IEEE 1394) fits for many applications:

• Machine vision
• Quality control
• Semiconductor inspection
• Industrial inspection
• ... and many more
