Unibrain Juniper Fire-i 580c (Color) 1394b Camera (VGA, 86 fps) (4601)

Unibrain Juniper Fire-i 580c (Color) 1394b Camera (VGA, 86 fps) (4601)


$690.00 ea.  Quantity:  

The Fire-i 580c VGA color camera incorporates a 1/3 Progressive Scan Sony CCD and achieves up to 86 fps at maximum resolution. By utilizing the IEEE 1394b interface that supports the IIDC protocol, users can transfer images to a host PC at speeds of up to 800 Mbps. Moreover, because multiple cameras can be connected in a daisy-chain configuration, users can enjoy the benefits of simplified operation in a multi-camera system.


The cameras feature dual firewire ports for multi-camera connectivity and a compact and lightweight housing. The small form factor provides more versatility in space and weight considerations. Using the fast IEEE-1394b digital bus protocol and an external trigger to streamline the capture, digitization and processing of color video signal, these cameras are designed to simplify real-time uncompressed color video streaming, digital still image acquisition while maintaining high resolution in various applications.

The cameras are equipped with a C-Type Lens mount for flexible use of industrial C-Mount lenses and also the firewire port comes with industrial screw lock cable support to ensure stable camera connection.
