Description
Compact, flexible, modular IEEE 1394 2 Megapixel C-Mount camera
The Marlin F-201B/C is equipped with a highly sensitive SONY CCD sensor.
It runs at 12.5 fps (full resolution, Format_7). Higher frame rates can be reached by a smaller
AOI and binning.

Smart features
Marlin cameras are equipped with many useful real-time image pre-processing functions.
They are performed by the FPGA inside the camera – with no additional CPU load on the host,
so that an inexpensive system is sufficient.
