mvBlueCOUGAR series

GigE & Dual GigE Vision cameras

Catalog 2019

Starting in Q2 2018, Single and Dual Gigabit Ethernet cameras are going to be shipped with a new update firmware and do not work with older firmware versions!

Thus a downgrade is no possible These cameras will be marked with Revision 5.xx.

mvBlueCOUGAR series includes Gigabit Ethernet cameras,compliant to the GigE Vision ® and GenICam ® image processing standards. The latest building blocks are used in one of the smallest,yet rock solid housing in the industry.

These cameras are optimized for machine vision applications, relying on high frame rates combined with low latency image transport. Also, the images can be precisely optimized for viewing applications in the life science and medical industries, where it is required to have the utmost realistic images in terms of gray scale shades and color fidelity, combined with optimum sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio, are required.

Opto Engineering® selected a number of cameras that are tailored for industrial applications, based on high image quality,compactness, robustness and ease of use.

A large FPGA and extra RAM on board provide quick and reliable image data processing without overloading your CPU, also giving you the opportunity to easily implement custom features. Extra features like Burst Mode, Counter/Timers and Color Processing can simplify your vision system configuration

The fully GenICam compliant SDK package, mvIMPACT SDK, allows the vision system to be more flexible.

Complete documentation of the SDK gives you access to many special camera features that can simplify your life when developing your vision system development. The driver of mvBlueCOUGAR is supported by a wide range of third-party softwares, e.g. Halcon,COGNEX, Matlab, Labview...etc.

Notes

Burst mode / streaming. Burst mode buffers the acquired images and decouples the acqusition from the image output. That way, you can use the sensor’s maximum frame rate independently of the available bandwidth.
EMVA1288 measurement data of gray scale version are available.

Ordering information

All cameras are available in Monochrome or Color Version at no extra cost.
IR cut filter integrated by default. Other filters can be integrated on request at no extra cost.
Cameras are available in OEM board version.
Most cameras are also available in GigE POE version.
Extended Temperature range -40°C to +65°C optional
Industrial connection concept (POE-I) is supported.
PLC inputs available.
WiFi function optional.

Suitable filters for your lighting situation or environmental condition

Choose between daylight cut (Cold Mirror), IR cut (Hot Mirror) or glass (without filter).

Large camera FPGA reduces CPU load of your host system

Extra FPGA space allows more features and modifications to be implemented. Custom features can also be supplied.

For counting and triggering events, counters are a handy feature for many applications

The counter allows you to generate variable output signals, control illumination systems, synchronize multiple cameras, and a lot more.

With the internal image memory, no image will be lost again

The internal memory buffers images and enables useful features like Record / Playback, Pre-trigger as well as sequence recordings
