These families of cameras are designed for high-speed video streaming and image capture, by combining high-performance sensors with the latest USB 3.0 technology, to ensure fast image delivery even at their largest resolutions. Features of the latest HALCON LuCam interface include the ability to stream multiple cameras, image cropping, external trigger, as well as software control of exposure, focus, gain, iris, white balancing, strobe parameters, and digital input/output signals.
As industry leaders, Lumenera and MVTec have successfully partnered before to offer user-friendly integrated software solutions for machine vision applications. Lumenera’s complete portfolio of industrial megapixel cameras is supported by HALCON.

Over the years, and with fruitful cooperation, we continuously extended and tested the dedicated HALCON LuCam interface.” stated Christoph Zierl, Director Product Management, MVTec Software GmbH. “We always ensure that new camera models are supported, and I'm happy to confirm that with this latest interface release, the benefits of the new USB 3.0 cameras can be easily used for all sorts of applications."
