Point Grey and Fresco Logic Unveil World's First USB 3.0 High Definition Digital Video Camera.
http://www.ptgrey.com/news/pressrele...?articleID=266
"uses the new 3 megapixel (MP) Sony IMX036 CMOS image sensor, which features high sensitivity, superior color fidelity, low power, and no smear. The sensor also supports an HD 1080p60 mode, which allows the camera to output raw, uncompressed 1920 x 1080 pixel images at 60 frames per second (FPS). Point Grey's own software driver provides low-level control of the camera via the USB 3.0 bus."
Sure, this particular camera would not suit us, but I posted this to announce:
the arrival or USB 3 (4.8Gb/s max) as compared to USB 2 practical limit of 350Mb/s (barely blu-ray).
and the coming of uncompressed video cameras.
The little camera in this article may have 1920 x 1080 x 3colours x 8 bit x 60 = 2985984000 bits per second = 2986Mb/s = 373MB/s data rate.
Food for thought. Several USB3 motherboards have already been announced, and a few other USB3 devices.
Technology marches on. When will we see a RAW handy cam ?
