3D Scan Forum

I have used the Panasonic GH4 (rolling shutter and reduced resolution) with an HDMI capture device.

I also have the PointGrey global shutter.

I don't notice any real difference.

With the PointGrey, I use the full resolution of the chip. At full resolution ( 2,048×1,536 ), I get faster scan time then with the Panasonic at FullHD, the transfer rate to the PC is better. If I lower the resolution on the PointGrey, It goes even faster.

Industrial cameras are easier to use with HP 3D (size & weight of camera, software control from the PC, transfer speed).

I don't think the global / rolling is a real issue. Most other users have rolling and their scans are great.

Not 100% sure if reducing resolution would not create distorsions (?)

UPDATE:

After a bit more research, I settled on a pair of 33UX265 monochrome Imaging Source cameras purchased from oemcameras.com. Unfortunately I still don't have lenses to test so I can't see anything useful on the screen. Once the lenses are in I can begin designing proper mounts for everything.
