Gigabit Ethernet camera (GigE) DALSA

GigE Vision™ is a new camera interface standard developed using the Gigabit Ethernet communication protocol. GigE Vision™ is the first standard to allow for fast image transfer using low cost standard cables over very long lengths. With GigE Vision™, hardware and software from different vendors can interoperate seamlessly over GigE connections.

The standard was developed for industry, by a talented group of companies representing every sector of the vision industry. The Automated Imaging Association (AIA) oversees the ongoing development and administration of the standard.

GigE Vision™ offers many benefits including:

- High bandwidth (1000 Mbps) allows large uncompressed images to be - transferred quickly in real time
- Uncompromised data transfer up to 100 meters in length
- Standard gigabit Ethernet hardware allows single/multiple camera connection to single/multiple computers
- Low cost cables (CAT5e or CAT6) and standard connectors
- Highly scalable to follow the growth of Ethernet bandwidth. As 10GigE becomes mainstream, GigE Vision™ will be the fastest connection in the industry
- Standard hardware, cables allow easy, low cost integration
