Point Grey puts USB 3.0 into a webcam, along with other telltale signs of over engineering
September 20th, 2009
We kid, we kid. We’re sure it was totally necessary to put SuperSpeed USB 3.0 into this new desktop video camera to push uncompressed 1080p, 60 fps video to a computer. According to Point Grey, that unbridled bandwidth allows the camera to offload compression duties to the computer and allows for spiffy applications like face recognition and a general level of uncompressedness. At the heart of this camera is a 3 megapixel Sony IMX036 CMOS sensor, but we’ll have to wait until IDF next week to get the lowdown on the rest of this camera’s crazy ways — and sure-to-be-crazy price.
