Marlin cameras

Marlin With Marlin cameras, entry into the world of digital image processing is simpler

and more cost-effective than ever before.

Entry-level model With the Marlin, Allied Vision presents a whole series of attractive digital camera

entry-level models of the FireWire™ type.

Image applications Allied Vision can provide users with a range of products that meet almost all the

requirements of a very wide range of image applications.

FireWire The industry standard IEEE 1394 (FireWire or i.Link) facilitates the simplest com-

puter compatibility and bidirectional data transfer using the plug-and-play pro-

cess. Further development of the IEEE 1394 standard has already made 800

Mbit/second possible – and the FireWire roadmap is already envisaging 1600

Mbit/second, with 3.2 Gbit/second as the next step. Investment in this standard

is therefore secure for the future; each further development takes into account

compatibility with the preceding standard, and vice versa, meaning that IEEE

1394b is backward-compatible with IEEE 1394a. Your applications will grow as

technical progress advances.

High quality images Operating in 8-bit and 10-bit mode (CCD b/w only), the cameras ensure very high

quality images under almost all circumstances. The Marlin is equipped with an

asynchronous trigger shutter as well as true partial scan, and integrates numer-

ous useful and intelligent smart features for image processing.
