Marlin With Marlin cameras, entry into the world of digital image processing is sim-
pler and more cost-effective than ever before.
Entry-level model With the new Marlin, Allied Vision Technologies presents a whole series of
attractive digital camera entry-level models of the FireWire™ type.
Price-performance These products offer an unequalled price-performance relationship and make
the decision to switch from using analogue to digital technology easier than
ever before.
Image applications Allied Vision Technologies can provide users with a range of products that
meet almost all the requirements of a very wide range of image applications.
FireWire The industry standard IEEE 1394 (FireWire or i.Link) facilitates the simplest
computer compatibility and bidirectional data transfer using the plug-and-
play process. Further development of the IEEE 1394 standard has already
made 800 Mbit/second possible – and the FireWire roadmap is already envis-
aging 1600 Mbit/second, with 3.2 Gbit/second as the next step. Investment
in this standard is therefore secure for the future; each further development
takes into account compatibility with the preceding standard, and vice versa,
meaning that IEEE 1394b is backward-compatible with IEEE 1394a. Your
applications will grow as technical progress advances.
High quality images Operating in 8-bit and 10-bit mode (CCD b/w only), the cameras ensure very
high quality images under almost all circumstances. The Marlin is equipped
with an asynchronous trigger shutter as well as true partial scan, and inte-
grates numerous useful and intelligent smart features for image processing.
