These are the advantage of the Gigabit Ethernet interface and further the particular characteristics of the „honeycomb“ CCD image sensor. GigE Ethernet interface achieves a bandwidth that allows a reclaimable data rate transfer of 60 to 100 Mbyte. Possible cablelengths of up to 100m of copper-containing cable and up to several km by employing fiberglass meet the demand of many applications. GigE provides a Peer to Peer-topology and doesn’t restrict to a certain number of connected cameras.
One more benefit compared with other digital interfaces offers the type of cable that is built with 8 wires and the conception of the connector which is applicable to industrial missions means can be interlocked. CPU-loading correspond to that of IEEE1394 and can be beaten only of CameraLink technology. Special feature of the small (54B x 43H x 59T) and compact of CS 6910G of Toshiba Teli Corporation is without any doubts the new image – sensor technology. Who compares the average image sensor of same size and resolution of square pixel with a an image sensor of the new technology recognizes important differences:
The octagonal format of the sensitive photodiode and the honeycomb structure of the pixel of the image sensor that increases the size of the photodiodes and because of their nearly round format the optimal saturation of the microlense can be effectuated. Resulting a higher light sensitivity, a better reduction of noise and a high grade of dynamic.
