Some of their reasons for switching to our CMOS USB-2 Cameras:

1. No more Frame Grabbers and its inherent compatibility issues with IRQ's and PCI bus throughput.
2. CMOS technology provides faster frame rates than CCD. Most of our CMOS black and white and color cameras are now all shipping with 10 bits resolution
3. There is no longer a need for external power supplies.
4. Now you can use anybody's imaging software most software packages support DirectShow®
5. USB-2 speed is 480 mbits or 60 Mbytes this is like PCI 2.1 bus
6. Triggering is available on our secondary Hirose connector
7. USB-2 can be extended see extender above
8. Firewire II i.e. 1394B (800 Mbps) is not available on most computers so you need an interface card AGAIN--Back to square one! USB II is better and less expensive than Firewire!!!
9. They need or enjoy the low power consumption of CMOS vs CCD
