iPort for Digital cameras

Ultra-high-performance GigE Vision® connectivity for Camera Link® medium cameras using 10 GigE links.

iPORT™ CL-Ten Dual Medium IP Engines

Product Attributes

Pleora's iPORT™ CL-Ten Dual Medium IP engines deliver video data from high-throughput Camera Link® Medium cameras to PCs, using innovative, cost-saving 10 GigE technology. The iPORT CL-Ten video transmitters can send imaging data to remote PCs using only modest amounts of CPU resources while ensuring consistent latency — ideal for ultra-high-performance semiconductor, flat-panel, web, and other quality inspection systems, as well as medical imaging and military systems. Faster inspection times, through increased frame rates and maximum resolutions, mean further cost-savings.

iPORT CL-Ten IP engines transport the imaging data over industry-standard copper or fiber-based links using an small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) connector for easy integration into off-the-shelf 10 GigE infrastructure. This allows you to limit the use of expensive and bulky Camera Link cables, extenders, and frame grabbers — and to locate PCs safely away from inspection areas.

Compatible with the open GigE Vision® and GenICam™ standards, the IP engines leverage Ethernet's flexible networking capabilities, such as multicasting and mesh architecture. The IP engines can be connected through one or more switches along with a range of other system elements, such as cameras, computers, processing devices, displays, and controllers — in meshed, real-time video networks. Signals from system elements, connected to the iPORT CL-Ten IP engine's general purpose inputs and outputs (GPIO) allow you to accurately synchronize and control the operation of conveyors, encoders, cameras, sorting mechanisms, and other components — either independently from* or in conjunction with the host PC on the network.

*Available mid-2012.

iPORT™ NTx-Mini IP Engines

Compact and low-power OEM board provides superior performance, in-camera GigE Vision^® Connectivity to industrial cameras.

Product Attributes

Pleora's iPORT™ NTx-Mini IP engines are high-performance video interfaces that provide a fast and cost-effective way for camera manufacturers and systems integrators to add low jitter, low latency Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) connectivity to almost any digital camera or imaging system.

The iPORT NTx-Mini IP engine consists of three components: the Main Board, the AdaptRBoard and the FlexEBoard. All three boards can be integrated as a seamless in-camera package, or the Main Board can be combined with customized implementations of the AdaptRBoard and FlexEBoard, allowing for a flexible range of implementation options.

With their compact footprint, low power consumption, and flexible mounting options, the iPORT NTx-Mini IP engines are an exceptional fit for small-body industrial cameras and vision systems with strict power budgets. The IP engines leverage the open GigE Vision^® and GenICam™ standards for communication over a GigE link. Gigabit Ethernet for video transfer increases interoperability between products from different manufacturers, while dramatically lowering system cost and complexity. They are ideal for performance-oriented applications in the medical imaging, industrial automation, and military and global surveillance systems sectors.

Product Features

~ FPGA architecture ensures low, predictable end-to-end latency and jitter

~ Low power consumption (from 1.45 W)

~ Ultra-compact (42 mm x 42 mm), GigE Vision video interface for industrial cameras

~ Flexible, scalable Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) networking options, including multicast

~ Built-in Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) for advanced real-time synchronization and triggering

~ Compatible with the AutoGEV XML generation tool — a unique GenICam XML management utility for creating GenICam compliant devices.

Pleora's iPORT™ NTx-Mini IP engine is available with a horizontally or vertically mounted RJ45 to the Main Board.

Networked Video

Compatible with Pleora's vDisplay™ video receivers, as well as Pleora's feature-rich application toolkit, eBUS™ SDK, the iPORT NTx-Mini IP engines enable industrial cameras and vision systems to become part of a complete networked video connectivity solution over Gigabit Ethernet.
