Point Grey (Richmond, BC, Canada) has announced the addition of a new 1.3 MP global shutter CMOS to its Chameleon3® set of USB3 Vision™ cameras. The Chameleon3 CM3-U3-13Y3 models are based on color and monochrome versions of the ON Semiconductor PYTHON1300, a ½" global shutter CMOS sensor featuring 1280 x 1024 image resolution. The camera runs at 149 frames per second (full resolution) and up to 470 (fps) in pixel binning mode. Available in a 44 x 35 x 19.5 mm case or as a 40 x 31 mm board stack, the Chameleon3 includes an on-camera frame buffer for image retransmission and an opto-isolated GPIO with locking connection.
