Figure 1: mvBlueFOX3-1
The mvBlueFOX3 is a compact USB 3.0 camera which is compliant to the brand new vision
standard USB3 Vision. The mvBlueFOX3 offers
a wide range of CMOS sensors,•
high frame rates,•
I/Os suitable for industrial applications, and•
wide range of resolutions.•
The image memory of the camera enables a high-speed-buffer mode (a.k.a. burst mode) which
writes images faster in the camera's memory as they are transferred. With this mode, image losses
are a thing of the past.
The mvBlueFOX3 is ideally suited for all classical areas of machine vision and especially for
applications in the medicine and microscopy area. The hardware capabilities can be teamed with
MATRIX VISION's machine vision library mvIMPACT or any other third party libraries which are
compliant to USB3 Vision.
6.1 Software concept
The mvBlueFOX3 is a USB3 Vision compliant device, using a GenICam XML-file describing the
device capabilities. Within this XML-file it uses the names, units, data types etc. recommended by
the SFNC to describe the devices features. Whenever custom features have been added to the
mvBlueFOX3 firmware these can clearly be spotted by the leading 'mv' in the features name. The
device can communicate with every third party compliant USB3 Vision capture driver that can
interpret GenICam XML-files.
