Summer 2013 is noted for being the best in a long time, with long dry spells and very warm days on the beach. However, at Scorpion Vision, summer 2013 will also be known as the summer of USB3. With devices proliferating all summer long, the company can boast a full suite of USB3 imaging products – not just cameras but also multi-channel interface boards, fibre extenders for long cable lengths up to 100m, and dedicated USB3 repeaters for attaching multiple devices through one hub.
Scorpion Vision supplies the full range of cameras from The Imaging Source which now includes the six main models that are available across the spectrum of interfaces – from wide VGA CMOS cameras up to 2MP CCD and 5MP CMOS. The latest addition is based on the Aptina
MT9M021 1.2 megapixel CMOS sensor with global shutter, offering up to 60 frames per second at maximum resolution.
Of course with faster and larger sensors comes more bandwidth requirement and the USB3 Vision standard meets these demands.
Scorpion Vision also exclusively supplies the quad port USB3 industrial interface board from Unibrain – known for it’s extensive range of firewire products, this entry into the world of USB3 is both timely and logical as USB3 seems to be a natural progression from 1394b with similar characteristics and benefits that made firewire a popular interface standard for machine vision. The standard USB3 protocol is enhanced with USB3 Vision, which includes device discovery, device control, event handling, and streaming data mechanisms that make USB3 Vision well suited for machine vision applications.
