Video interfaces and cabling have played a significant role in bringing new capabilities to machine vision and supporting automation’s migration into a broadening range of markets.
GigE Vision is the most widely deployed standard in machine vision, and gaining fast traction in medical, security, and transportation markets, thanks in large part to interface and cabling advantages. With GigE Vision, images are streamed directly to an existing Ethernet port on a computing platform. This eliminates the need for a PCIe frame grabber to capture images, reducing system costs and complexity, while enabling the use of smaller form factor lower cost computing platforms for processing and analysis.
