Blackfly S GigE Series

The Blackfly S GigE Series of industrial, ice-cube cameras offer advanced sensors from Sony and ON Semi in a compact form factor. The Blackfly S family offers the choice of CMOS global shutter, polarization and high sensitivity Backside Illuminated Sensors and cover an extremely broad range of frame rates (5FPS - 291 FPS) and resolutions (720 × 540 - 5320 x 4600).

The Blackfly S GigE models support a wide range of operating systems and host system hardware architectures. All models can easily switch to board level models for embedded systems.

The Blackfly S is compatible with third party software and hardware and the coding requirements are minimised with its powerful on-camera features.
