Innovative camera features - Part 1

In the first of this series we'll be looking at two technologies that could help to speed up your data transfer and improve system reliability:

TurboDrive & Trigger-to-image Reliability (T2IR)

 

In this series we'll be looking at the unique features that some cameras have, explaining how they work (and how they can help you).

In the first part, we're looking at:

• TurboDrive - a breakthrough that gives you more out of the GigE infrastructure.

• Trigger-to-Image Reliability - gives you confidence in the reliability of your vision system

The GigE Vision protocol is the most popular choice for machine vision applications

 

- It uses standard, Gigabit Ethernet networks, transmitting data across standard CAT-5e and CAT-6 cables at lengths of up to 100 meters;

- It supports point-to-multipoint connections (so, one camera can transmit image data to several computers at the same time (multicast);

Users have now reached it's limit (@125MBytes/sec) - Thanks to ever-increasing resolutions and speeds, cameras are producing much larger data volumes.

What if you could go faster, much faster... using the same networking infrastructure?

TURBODRIVE

This patent pending technology manages to push beyond the Gigabit Ethernet speed limit.

It does this by reducing image data and changing the hardware and software

no, not even slightly...

By packing pixel data into datapackets more efficiently, the breakthrough increases data throughput by 20-150%

... so you can squeeze a lot more lines / frame rates into a Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure...

...or aggregate information from multiple cameras onto a single physical link

...all whilst maintaining the same hardware and software architecture

 

So, you’ve managed to connect all of your trigger mechanisms, cameras, framegrabbers, lights, and the software is running.

All seems to be ok, until something goes wrong. Is it...

...a triggering fault?

...a vision system processing failure?

...an image transfer failure?

 

...you don’t know when, where, how or why it happened because it was somewhere in the vision system’s “black box”

Wouldn't it be great if you could look inside the black box?

Monitor, audit, diagnose and debug the system...

 

maybe even have a bit of control over what’s going on in there?

...you can, with T2IR!

TRIGGER-TO-IMAGE RELIABILITY (T2IR)

By using a combination of software and hardware features, this framework can...
