Prosilica Ships Gigabit Ethernet Cameras
22 February 2006, Vancouver, BC, Canada
Prosilica has started shipping its much anticipated GE-Series gigabit Ethernet cameras. The GE-Series are believed to be the first machine vision cameras ship to end users that conform to the draft AIA "GigE Vision" standard.
Prosilica's GE-Series gigabit Ethernet cameras offer high-performance digital imaging for applications in machine vision, industrial inspection, traffic monitoring, and public security. The GE-Series sends non-compressed images at high-frame rates over standard gigabit Ethernet hardware with cable lengths up to 100 meters long.
The GE-Series camera models now shipping include the GE650, GE1350, GE1380 and GE1600 CCD cameras ranging from VGA to 2 megapixel resolution and full-resolution frame rates up to 200 fps. Color models are also available with on-board color interpolation.
Prosilica's GE-Series cameras have a wide range of high-performance features including region-of-interest readout of arbitrary size and shape and square binning modes up to 8x8 pixels. An SDK and viewer program are available free of charge to Prosilica customers for integrating the GE-Series cameras into customer applications. Prosilica's SDK includes source code so that system integrators and end users can quickly and easily incorporate Prosilica's GE-Series gigabit Ethernet cameras into their applications.
"Prosilica's GE-Series cameras appear to be the only Gigabit Ethernet cameras currently available that conform to the draft AIA GigE Vision standard" says Prosilica CEO Marty Furse. "Because Prosilica has designed all aspects of the GE-Series camera -- all the hardware, all the firmware, as well as the SDK and driver -- Prosilica can deliver a more integrated and robust product than many of its competitors who have chosen a third-party module and third-party SDK. Because Prosilica has designed this camera end-to-end, customers can be assured that they are getting the very best"
