The USB3 Vision specification is the result of many months of
collaboration between some of the machine vision industry’s leading
technology companies. The aim of the standard is to enable
interoperability between USB 3.0 imaging components such as cameras,
accessories and software. Like the popular GigE Vision standard, USB3
Vision will provide a framework for transmitting high-speed video and
related control data.
Point Grey is the leading innovator of USB 3.0 technology and is one of
the original three founding members of the USB3 Vision committee. Point
Grey demonstrated the world’s first USB 3.0 camera in 2009 and was the
first to serial production with its Flea3 USB 3.0 camera in 2011. With
over 1,000 USB 3.0 customers and thousands of cameras sold, Point Grey
is now leveraging its extensive experience to launch two ground-breaking
new USB 3.0 cameras: the Grasshopper3 line of high-performance CCD-based
cameras; and the Ladybug5 360° spherical imaging camera system.
“We are proud to have been part of this effort and congratulate the AIA
and our fellow committee members on their hard work and dedication,”
says Michael Gibbons, Director of Sales and Marketing. Mr. Gibbons adds,
“Point Grey plans to support USB3 Vision in the future on our existing
Flea3 and upcoming Grasshopper3 camera models via a simple firmware
update. Our goal is to enable interoperability with other USB3
Vision-compliant devices and software, while also maintaining backward
compatibility for Point Grey’s existing customer base.”
Version 1.0 of the USB3 Vision specification is available for download
to the public for free on the AIA website: www.visiononline.org.
