Spyder3 GigE Vision SG-14 Monochrome Cameras User’s Manual The Spyder3 SG-14 Cameras Camera Highlights The Sp yd er3 SG-14 GigE Vision (GEV) are high sensitivity d u al-line scan cam eras. When op erating in high sensitivity (d u al line scan) m od e the Sp yd er3 GEV cam era has 3x the resp onsivity of Teled yne DALSA’s Sp yd er2 line scan cam era. Plu s, the GigE Vision interface elim inates the need for a fram e grabber, resu lting in significant system cost savings.
