Description
Product Details PoE (Power over Ethernet) GigE Vision and GenICam Compliant Ultra Compact Form Factor Extensive API Library and Included Spinnaker SDK Teledyne FLIR IIS Blackfly S: Advanced Machine Vision Cameras with powerful features Capture the images you need from advanced sensors in enclosed or board-level configurations The Blackfly S is a versatile and compact machine vision camera series that leverages the industry’s most advanced area scan sensors in an ultra-compact form factor. It combines powerful features that easily produce the exact images required, accelerating application development. Combining both automatic and precise manual controls over image capture and on-camera pre-processing. With options ranging from high-speed performance, high-resolution images, polarization, or low-light sensitivity, the Blackfly S series of cameras can deliver the required results. With the selection of camera variations all sharing the same form factor, it makes it easy to develop once, deploy anywhere. On camera features include IEEE1588 clock synchronization and full compatibility with popular third-party software supporting either GigE Vision or USB3 Vision interfaces. The Blackfly S is available in GigE, USB3, cased, and board-level versions. Note: GigE cable sold separately and required for operation . Software available for download . Blackfly PoE GigE Cameras are also available. U.S. Tariff Pricing Notice: Pricing for certain products in this family may reflect recent changes in U.S. tariffs on Canadian-origin products. Prices shown include any applicable tariff-related adjustment; no additional tariff surcharge will be added at checkout. Blackfly S GigE color / monochrome cameras On camera features include IEEE1588 clock synchronization and full compatibility with popular third-party software supporting GigE Vision. GigE models featuring Lossless Compression (LLC) are also available with higher maximum frame rates and lower bandwidth requirements, helping maximize output without compromising image quality.

They feature Power over Ethernet (PoE) connectivity and are GigE Vision and GenICam-compliant, simplifying cabling while enabling straightforward integration with third-party software and existing GigE-based vision networks. EO’s Blackfly S GigE offering also includes on-camera features such as IEEE 1588 clock synchronization, making these cameras well-suited for synchronized multi-camera inspection, robotics, and high-speed production environments. Select models with lossless compression are available to increase effective throughput and frame rate while reducing bandwidth demands without sacrificing image quality. With a broad range of sensor options, the Blackfly S platform is ideal for automated optical inspection, factory automation, microscopy, 3D scanning, and other imaging tasks that require a balance of compact size, speed, and resolution. Advanced camera controls, robust color transformation tools, and auto-exposure capabilities help users optimize image capture for both color and monochrome applications. The included Spinnaker SDK and extensive API support streamline evaluation, software development, and system integration for OEM and embedded vision designers. For customers building distributed or scalable imaging systems, Blackfly S PoE GigE Cameras offer an efficient combination of compact packaging, flexible interface standards, and machine vision performance.
