Blackfly S Embedded Camera: Fully-Featured, High Performance Board Level Machine Vision Camera

The Blackfly Board Level models from FLIR Systems are high performance, machine-vision, area-scan cameras that are specifically designed for integration into limited spaces.

In contrast to several board-level cameras, the Blackfly S board-level models have a rich set of features applied to the advanced CMOS sensors—the same set of features as the cased model.

The Blackfly S board-level models can be readily integrated into well-known SOMs and SBCs with established compatibility. These models allow OEMs to develop lighter, smallerand more economical solutions with rich features and embedded system connectivity.

Designed for Integration in Small Spaces

The Blackfly S board-level models are perfect for integrating into handheld, mobileand desktop devices due to their 29 x 29 x 12-mm board-level footprint and GigE or USB3 across FPC connection with a latching connector. The models also include a low profile JST GPIO connector and do not need a fixed lens mount.

High Performance Imaging

It is uncommon for board-level cameras to combine the latest CMOS sensors and include a complete set of features. The Blackfly S board-level models combine the new Pregius global shutter CMOS image sensors for capturing distortion-free and high dynamic-range images.

The models have the same set of rich features as the cased versions, enabling both automatic and accurate manual control across on-camera pre-processing and over image capture.

Embedded Eco-System Support

The entire Blackfly S camera range is perfect for embedded systems and offers established compatibility with well-known SBCs and operating systems, such as Linux on ARM, x86,x64and desktop Windows.
