Blackfly® S Advanced Machine Vision Cameras

FLIR Integrated Imaging Solutions’ Blackfly S series high-performance, compact machine vision cameras leverage advanced area scan sensors in an ultra-compact form factor. They combine powerful features that easily produce the required images, accelerating application development. The cameras combine automatic and precise manual controls over image capture and on-camera pre-processing. Whether users need high-speed performance, high-resolution images, polarization, or low-light sensitivity, the Blackfly S series cameras have a sensor option.

With the selection of camera variations all sharing the same form factor, it is easy to develop once and deploy anywhere. On-camera features include IEEE 1588 clock synchronization and full compatibility with popular 3^rd party software supporting GigE Vision or USB3 Vision interfaces. The Blackfly S is available in GigE, USB3, cased, and board-level versions.

The Blackfly S USB3 color/monochrome cameras are compatible with 3^rd party software and hardware and support a wide range of operating systems and host system architectures. The Blackfly S GigE color/monochrome cameras have on-camera features, including IEEE 1588 clock synchronization and full compatibility with popular 3^rd party software supporting GigE vision. The GigE models featuring lossless compression (LLC) are also available with higher maximum frame rates and lower bandwidth requirements, helping maximize output without compromising image quality. The Blackfly S board level (USB3 or GigE) models enable OEMs to develop smaller, lighter, lower-cost solutions with embedded system connectivity and rich features. They are ready for integration with proven compatibility with popular SBCs and SOMs.
