The Alvium 1500 U-050 USB3 camera features an ON Semi PYTHON 480 1/3.6" at .5MP resolution, and a 117 frame rate at full resolution. Color models include an IR cut filter, monochrome models ship with no filter/protection glass.

Allied Vision Alvium series USB3.0 and CSI-2 cameras are designed for use in both machine vision and embedded applications. Offering high image quality and reducing workload for the host, Alvium enables innovation among vision system designers. The advanced ALVIUM System on Chip (SoC) performs image corrections and preprocessing tasks onboard the camera instead of on the host computer. Unlike FPGAs commonly used in machine vision cameras, the ALVIUM SoC is extremely power efficient.
