Transitioning from the Dragonfly to the Dragonfly2: A How-To Guide
The Dragonfly2(DR2) was developed for easy design transition from the original Dragonfly camera. It supports many of the features of the Dragonfly, yet also offers a significant number of additional features such as faster standard frame rates, auto-iris lens control and on-board color processing. While some Dragonfly-specific functionality has been removed or changed in the Dragonfly2, PGR has designed the DR2 to be backward-compatible with most core Dragonfly features.
The purpose of this Technical Application Note is to:
1.Outline the primary similarities and differences between the two cameras; and
2.Offer suggestions and pointers to end users for migrating their custom applications from the Dragonfly to the Dragonfly2. NOTE: PGR strongly encourages users to put the Dragonfly2 through a full requalification process before deciding to fully migrate from the Dragonfly.
Given the vast number of mechanical, hardware and firmware feature enhancements included in the Dragonfly2, this document will limit its discussion to similarities and differences that could directly impact current Dragonfly users interested in transitioning to the DR2, such as:
●Mechanics: dimensions, lens systems, case and brackets, physical and I/O connectors
●Hardware: printed circuit board (PCB), I/O electrical characteristics, imaging sensors
●Firmware: IIDC 1394-based Digital Camera compliance, camera properties
