Grasshopper®2 (FireWire)

The fully redesigned Grasshopper2 camera series is the next generation version of the high performance Grasshopper and offers users a FireWire 800 (1394b) digital interface. The Grasshopper2 uses the same form factor as the existing Grasshopper and a selection of the same image sensors, and adds several new features, including enhanced opto-isolated general purpose I/O and improved imaging performance.

Sensor: Sony ICX285 2/3" progressive scan CCD
Resolution: 1384x1036
Dimensions: 58mm x 44mm x 29mm
Interface: Dual 9-pin IEEE-1394b 800Mb/s ports
