Dragonfly Express™
The Dragonfly Express™ camera is an extension of the popular Dragonfly. It has a similar form factor as the original Dragonfly, but uses a 1/3" Kodak sensor and IEEE-1394b interface to achieve fast frame rates that are ideal for vision product integration.

Benefits of IEEE-1394b (FireWire S800)

Sensor: Kodak 1/3" progressive scan CCD, Color/BW
Resolution: 640x480
Frame Rates: 640x480 at 200 FPS (Format_7 image mode)
Interface: 9-pin IEEE-1394b 800Mb/s interface
Partial Image Modes: Pixel binning and region of interest
Trigger Modes: 0, 1, 3, 14 (overlapped trigger/transfer)
