Overview
The mvBlueFOX is a compact industrial CCD camera solution for any PC with a Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0) port. A superior image quality makes it suited for most applications. Integrated preprocessing like Bayer color conversion reduces the PC load to a minimum.The standard Hi-Speed USB interface guarantees an easy integration without any additional interface board. Camera comes with full SDK under Windows and LINUX.
One unique feature of the BlueFOX is the hardware real-time controller,allowing you to set exposure and allowing the user to synchronise multiple cameras.  For more information click on this link.
