CANCam-GigE is a family of frame grabbers being connected by a standard 1GBit Ethernet port to a PC, enabling a video bandwidth of 110MByte/sec into PC main memory. This bandwidth is about the same as delivered by standard PCI cards, but there is no need to add any hardware to your PC or install any vendor specific driver. This frame grabber just connects to your standard Ethernet port and the image processing application can just run without any need for additional installation.The image transport is standardized by AIA and so many companies have software to run your image processing applications. Here are few samples: Stemmer CVB, MVTech HALCON, NI Vision, Matrox MIL and many more. Needless to say that all grabbers capture the analog or digital video signal in high quality and transfer as fast as possible to the host-PC for further image processing, with the minimum host load.
We have 5 standard frame grabbers in the CANCam-GigE family:
- CameraLink BASE → GEV
- PAL/NTSC → GEV
- Analog → GEV
- VGA/DVI → GEV (project based only)
- GEV → VGA/DVI (project based only)
