2 Marlin types and highlights

With Marlin cameras, entry into the world of digital image processing is simpler and more cost-

effective than ever before.

With the new MARLIN, 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 that ever before.

The AVT Marlin family consists of five very compact IEEE 1394 C-mount cameras, 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 (1/2 ", 1/3 ", 2/3 ") and resolutions (VGA, SVGA, XGA,

SXGA) ensures the suitability of the cameras for all applications.

The MARLIN family consists of the following models:

MARLIN F-033B/C

1/2 " Sony Progressive Scan CCD imager; (VGA) 656 (h) x 494 (v); up to 74 fps at full resolution.

MARLIN F-046B/C

1/2 " Sony Progressive Scan CCD imager; (SVGA) 780 (h) x 582 (v); up to 53 fps.

MARLIN F-080B/C

1/3 " Sony Progressive Scan CCD imager; (XGA) 1032 (h) x 778 (v); up to 20 fps.

MARLIN F-080B/C 30 fps

1/3 " Sony Progressive Scan CCD imager; (XGA) 1032 (h) x 778 (v); up to 30 fps.

MARLIN F-131B/C

2/3 " Global Shutter CMOS imager; (SXGA) 1280 (h) x 1024 (v); up to 25 fps.

MARLIN F-145B2/C2

1/2 " Sony Progressive Scan CCD; (SXGA) 1392 (h) x 1040 (v); up to 10 fps (15 fps available on

request) at full resolution.

Operating in 8-bit and 10 Bit mode 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 numerous useful and intelligent Smart

Features for image processing.

 All models are equipped with an optical filter to eliminate the influence of infra red light

hitting the sensor. Please be advised that, as a side effect, this filter reduces the sensitivity

in the visible spectrum.

 For certain applications it may thus be recommended to take out the filter by means of a

special tool which can be ordered from AVT under the following number: E9020001.

 Taking out the filter requires special care. Ask your dealer to help you if you are not

confident with the procedure.
