  • Page 6: Camera Highlights

    FPN and PRNU. Description The Spyder 3 GigE camera is DALSA’s first GigE camera. With a GigE interface, you no longer need a frame grabber which means significant system cost savings. The Spyder 3 GigE is also DALSA’s first dual line scan camera. When operating in high sensitivity (dual line scan) mode, the Spyder 3 GigE camera has 3x the responsivity of a DALSA’s Spyder2 line scan camera.
