Overview
Unibrain’s Fire-i ultra compact Industrial Firewire cameras (Bonsai) series opens up a new horizon in digital image
processing; by providing more features in a very small form factor while still maintaining excellent cost effectiveness and high
quality. These models are comprised of a wide range of resolutions and are equipped with a FireWire interface and a trigger
to suit the needs of every application. The Bonsai series offer the highest frame rate in each of its resolutions compared
with other products currently available. The very small form factor design has expanded the implementation and broadens
application areas by eliminating the limits that currently exist due to size and weight.
A selection of cameras is available which consist of sensors sizes (1/3”, 1/1.8”) and resolution (VGA, XGA, UXGA) both in color
and black and white.
Unibrain Bonsai camera series possess unique features that support external trigger mode 0~5 plus 14,15, multi camera
auto-sync, one-shot and multi-shot, a wide range of shutter speed, RS232C pass through via FIREWIRE
TM
, Fast format 7, partial
scan, and a high speed up trigger frame rate, which would provide maximum flexibility in applications. Industrial Screw Lock
cable support has been added for more reliable connectivity.
