With Guppy cameras, entry into the world of digital image processing is sim-
pler and more cost-effective than ever before.
With the new GUPPY, Allied Vision Technologies presents a whole series of
attractive digital camera entry-level models of the FireWire™ type.
These products offer an unequalled price-performance relationship and make
the decision to switch from using analogue to digital technology easier than
ever before.
The AVT Guppy family consists of six very compact IEEE 1394 C-Mount cam-
eras, which are equipped with highly sensitive high-quality sensors (CCD,
CMOS).
Each of these cameras is available in black/white and color versions.
A large selection of different sensor sizes (type 1/2, type 1/3) and resolu-
tions (VGA, SVGA, XGA) ensures the suitability of the cameras for all applica-
tions.
The Guppy family consists of the following models:
Operating in 8-bit mode (CCD b/w only), the cameras ensure very high quality
images under almost all circumstances. The GUPPY is equipped with an asyn-
chronous trigger shutter as well as true partial scan, and integrates a number
of useful and intelligent smart features for image processing.
