MaxxVision has introduced new GigE Vision cameras from its partner Crevis. In addition to PoE (Power over Ethernet), the two new Sony CCD based 5 megapixel cameras HV-B550G (monochrome version) and HV-C550G (colour version) also feature ToE (Trigger over Ethernet) functionality.
ToE allows customers to transmit not only power and image data, but also hardware trigger signals over one single standard Ethernet cable at up to 100m. Thus the Hirose cable usually used for triggering is no longer necessary.
The two cameras are part of the GigE Vision camera line up from Crevis consisting of 15 monochrome and colour models with resolutions from VGA to 5 megapixels. The cameras’ frame rates range from 14 to 120fps.
Crevis GigE cameras are all based on Sony CCD, besides two low cost 5 megapixel models which incorporate Aptina CMOS sensors. MaxxVision exclusively distributes the cameras in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
