The TAGT family of cameras integrates the power of Giga Ethernet into compact digital cameras.
TAGT cameras transfer images at 100Mbyte/s over 100m on economical standard Cat5 cables directly through the Ethernet port to a PC - without a frame-grabber.
TAGT cameras also use standard Gigabit Ethernet switches to create networks of cameras.
The TAGT cameras are software configurable (shutter, gain etc) and have two I/O for seamless integration.
Robert Fenwick-Smith, Managing Director of Tattile, explained: "With the TAGT family of Gigabit Ethernet cameras, Tattile introduces a product anticipated by most experts in the vision industry".
"The move to Gigabit Ethernet is a natural one and finally provides a solution that relies on the globally adopted Ethernet standard instead of special vision-only solutions like IEEE1394 or CameraLink".
Raymond Hegarty, Tattile International's Managing Director, commented: "We are thrilled to be the first to bring our customers the many advantages of Gigabit Ethernet cameras".
"The TAGT cameras bring long-awaited solutions at unprecedented price/performance levels".
John Merva, President of Tattile USA, stated: "After pioneering intelligent cameras, Tattile is excited to continue defining the post-frame-grabber era of machine vision".
"The overwhelmingly positive reaction of customers at the Vision East exhibition in Boston exceeded our expectations".
The TAGT family of digital cameras is available now with already 13 models from which to choose.
