Understanding Point Grey imaging product part numbers
Article 360: Understanding Point Grey imaging product part numbers

SUMMARY:
This article explains how to interpret Point Grey imaging product part numbers.

APPLICABLE PRODUCTS :
All Imaging Products • 

ANSWER:

Point Grey imaging product part numbers are structured in the following format:

Product Family - Interface - Sensor - Optics

Product Family Interface Sensor Optics
BFLY Blackfly
CMLN Chameleon
DR2 Dragonfly2
FFMV Firefly MV FireWire
FMVU Firefly MV USB2
FL2 Flea2
FL3 Flea3
GRAS Grasshopper
GS2 Grasshopper2
GS3 Grasshopper3
GX Grasshopper Express
GZL Gazelle
ZBR2 Zebra2
Note: Applies only to newer products, beginning with FL3. Part numbers of earlier products do not include this designator.

FW FireWire

GE

Gigabit Ethernet

PGE

Power over Ethernet

PGEHD

Power over Ethernet/HD-SDI

U3 USB3
CL Camera Link
See below.
C C-mount
CS CS-mount

Note: May not appear on all product documentation. See below.

Sensor Designator

Resolution* Manufacturer Optical Size Color or Monochrome
03 0.3 MP
08 0.8 MP
13 1.3 MP
14 1.4 MP
20 2.0 MP
50 5.0 MP
S Sony
K Kodak
M Micron
C CMOSIS

1 1/4"
2 1/3"
3 1/2"
4 1/1.8"
5 2/3"
6 1"
C Color
M Monochrome

*in cases where two sensors share the same resolution, the number is increased by 1.  For example, the ZBR2-PGEHD-50S5C and ZBR2-PGEHD-51S5C are both 5.0 MP cameras

Examples

  • FMVU-13S2C-CS: FireflyMV USB2, 1.3 MP Sony 1/3" sensor, color, CS-mount (USB interface designator is missing from this part number because it is an earlier product.)
  • FL3-FW-03S1C-C: Flea3, FireWire, 0.3 MP Sony 1/4" sensor, color, C-mount
  • GS2-GE-20S4M-C: Grasshopper2, Gigabit Ethernet, 2.0 MP Sony 1/1.8" sensor, monochrome, C-mount

About the Optics Designator

The -C or -CS optics designator may not appear on all product documentation. For example, on the camera box label shown below, the -C designator appears on the part number, but not on the model number. The lens mount designator may also not appear on the serial number label on the bottom of the camera, or on the etching on the side of the camera. However, the missing designator does not mean the camera is a different model from the one that was ordered. The part number and the model refer to the same camera on all product labelling. So, in the box label pictured below, part number FL2-03S2M-C and model FL2-03S2M are the same Flea2 camera, equipped with a C-mount lens holder.


Part Number FL2-03S2M-C and Model FL2-03S2M are the same camera, equipped with a C-mount lens holder
