Some of their reasons for switching to our CMOS USB-2 Cameras:

• No more Frame Grabbers and its inherent compatibility issues with IRQ's and PCI bus throughput.
• CMOS technology provides faster frame rates than CCD. Most of our CMOS black and white and color cameras are now all shipping with 10 bits resolution
• There is no longer a need for external power supplies.
• Now you can use anybody's imaging software most software packages support DirectShow®
• USB-2 speed is 480 mbits or 60 Mbytes this is like PCI 2.1 bus
• Triggering is available on our secondary Hirose connector
• USB-2 can be extended see extender above
• Firewire II i.e. 1394B (800 Mbps) is not available on most computers so you need an interface card AGAIN--Back to square one! USB II is better and less expensive than Firewire!!!
• They need or enjoy the low power consumption of CMOS vs CCD
