1.1 BOBCAT FAMILY
The BOBCAT series of cameras are built around a robust imaging platform utilizing the
latest digital technology and components. BOBCAT camera series is designed around 20
different CCD imaging sensors, featuring different resolutions and frame rates. Each base
model is available in monochrome and color. Each base model is also available with Base
Camera Link PoCL output and GEV. The first three letters in the camera model name shows
the output interface –ICL for Camera Link, and IGV –for GigE Vision.
The BOBCAT family list is shown below:

NOTE:
1. Since the camera features and performance are output invariant, when describing the
cameras we will use only the model number without the first three letters.
2. B1920 supports only 1920 x 1080 image size.
