Gigabit Ethernet Cameras

Prosilica has started shipping its much anticipated GE-Series gigabit Ethernet cameras. The GE-Series are believed to be the first machine vision cameras available to end users that conform to the draft AIA GigE Vision standard. The new gigabit Ethernet cameras offer high-performance digital imaging for applications in machine vision, industrial inspection, traffic monitoring, and public security. It sends non-compressed images at high-frame rates over standard gigabit Ethernet hardware with cable lengths up to 100 meters long. Prosilicas GE-Series cameras have a wide range of high-performance features including region-of-interest readout of arbitrary size and shape and square binning modes from up to 8x8. An SDK and viewer program are available free of charge to Prosilica customers for integrating the GE-Series cameras into applications. The SDK includes the viewer source code so that system integrators and end users can quickly and easily incorporate the new gigabit Ethernet cameras into their applications. The GE-Series appear to be the only Gigabit Ethernet cameras currently available that conform to the draft AIA GigE Vision standard because Prosilica has designed all aspects of the GE-Series camera all the hardware, all the firmware, as well as the SDK and driver.
