The Blackfly® S leverages the industry’s most advanced sensors in an ice-cube form factor. It is packed with powerful features that let you easily produce the exact images you need and accelerate your application development, with both automatic and precise manual control over image capture and on-camera pre-processing.
Built around Sony’s 20 MP IMX183 back-illuminated CMOS sensor in a 29 × 29 × 30 mm housing. C-mount lens compatibility, USB3 Vision interface, and the Spinnaker SDK make it a strong fit for machine vision, LCD/PCB inspection, scientific imaging and embedded camera builds.
