The Marlin series from Allied Vision Technologies (AVT) is a series of very compact cameras equipped with highly sensitive sensors that use the IEEE-1394a interface (FireWire).
The colour version consists of six camera models with different IT, progressive scan CCD sensors (1/3", 1/2" and 1/1.8"). Other variants feature a 2/3" CMOS Sensor with global shutter. The cameras operate in 8/10 bit mode and excel in almost any application because of their high frame rates and high image quality which is due to the large selection of different sensors and resolutions (VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, UXGA).
The Marlin has an asynchronous trigger shutter as well as true partial scan and integrates many useful "smart features" for image processing.
One major benefit of this camera series is its flexibility. The separation of the image sensor from the main board allows easy customisation and special OEM versions on request.
