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
