Ladybug3 (1394b)

The high resolution Ladybug®3 spherical digital video camera system has six 2 MP cameras that enable the system to collect video from more than 80% of the full sphere, and an IEEE-1394b (FireWire) interface with locking screw connection that allows JPEG-compressed 12MP resolution images to be streamed to disk at 15fps. The Ladybug3 is an ideal solution for applications that require very high resolution, a weather-resistant case, direct FireWire connection, or the ability to synchronize to external devices such as an external trigger or light source.
