Basler dart

Basler dart

With its single-board design, the Basler dart camera series offers the latest technology in a small form factor. The dart not only scores points with its compact design, but also with its excellent price/performance ratio and flexible integration capabilities: The camera modules can be connected to a single board computer (SBC) via USB 3.0, for example, or directly to a SoC (System-on-Chip) or FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) via MIPI based data transmission. This allows the dart cameras to be used for a variety of embedded and machine vision solutions.

Image Signal Processing: on the camera or on the processing unit, just as required

dart cameras provide in-camera image pre-processing performed by an integrated Image Signal Processor (ISP). For those embedded systems that already provide an ISP we offer camera modules without ISP but with drivers utilizing the host’s ISP – resulting in the leanest solution and a cost optimized set up.
