Digital camera technology sees the most significant development since the introduction of CameraLink with the first integrated Gigabit Ethernet cameras being launched by Pulnix in the UK Gigabit Ethernet is the first cost effective interface to enable data rates up to 85Mbyte/s of uncompressed image data to be transmitted over longer cable lengths, typically 100m between hubs

Modular design for machine vision cameras
The Accupixel range from Pulnix is a family of CameraLink cameras that benefit from an extremely modular design, allowing for easy exchange of camera models should the application require it.
Other advantages include the ability to multicast the data to multiple computers simultaneously and the fact that Gigabit Ethernet cameras do not require traditional frame grabber hardware at the computer end.
Pulnix is now offering a number of its popular AccuPixel range cameras with the Gigabit Ethernet interface with further models to follow.
The TM4100GE is the highest resolution model delivering 4Mpixel images at 15frame/s, and the TM1400GE provides a general purpose solution with 1.45Mpixel at 30frame/s.
For high throughput applications where image fidelity is also key, there is the new TM6740GE, capable of delivering VGA resolutions at up to 210frame/s.
All models are available in both colour (TMC) and monochrome versions.
All the cameras are supported via a software developer's kit (SDK) and also have generic support within our hardware independent development environment, Common Vision Blox. Request a free brochure from Firstsight Vision ...
