Digital camera specialized Point Grey has announced the introduction of the Chameleon3, a new family of USB3 Vision board-level cameras.
The Chameleon3 camera line combines the benefits of USB 3.0, the small size and flexibility of board-level, and the CCD and CMOS image sensors into one package. Available in a compact 44 x 35 x 19.5 mm case or as a 40 x 31 mm board stack, the Chameleon3 is conceptualized for a wide range of space-constrained applications.
The Chameleon3’s lightweight metal case is designed for reliability and offers multiple mounting points and a locking USB 3.0 connection. The board-level version offers configuration flexibility and can be equipped with either a C/CS-mount lens holder or a smaller S-mount (M12) lens holder.
Other standard features include an on-camera frame buffer for image retransmission, opto-isolated GPIO with locking connection and a 3-year warranty.
The first Chameleon3 CM3-U3-13S2 models are based on color and monochrome versions of the popular Sony ICX445, a 1/3" global shutter CCD sensor capable of 1288 x 964 image resolution at 30 FPS. Additional Chameleon3 models will be released throughout 2015, including the 1.3-megapixel On Semi Python 1300 global shutter CMOS and the 2.8-megapixel Sony ICX818 global shutter CCD.
