The Blackfly® S from FLIR Systems takes advantage of the industry’s latest sensors in an ice-cube form factor.
Packed with robust features, the camera allows users to easily produce their preferred, exact images and expedite their application development. This involves both automatic control and accurate manual control across on-camera pre-processing and image capture. The Blackfly® S comes in USB3, GigE, cased and board-level versions.
The Exact Images Needed by Users
The Blackfly® S camera offers users a choice of high sensitivity BSI sensors, polarization and CMOS global shutter. Color transformation tools also guarantee true-to-life color. Advanced auto-algorithms or accurate manual control are available in the camera.
Develop Once, Deploy Anywhere
The Blackfly® S camera has been designed to support a broad range of host system hardware architectures and operating systems. Users can simply switch to board-level models for embedded systems. Streamlined product iteration with constant form factor is ensured across different sensor sizes.
Accelerate Application Development
The Blackfly® S camera can be used with third-party hardware and software. Rugged strong on-camera features minimize code-writing tasks. Users can quickly construct custom applications with descriptive API logging and a rich sample code.
