PixeLink has introduced a Gigabit Ethernet interface to its line of CCD and CMOS industrial digital cameras. The increased bandwidth of 1000Mbps will allow the transfer of large uncompressed images in real time over standard Cat5E network cables up to 100m long.
To ease integration, a common SDK is provided with the cameras that functions with any camera interface. This will allow customers to easily interchange GigE, FireWire and USB cameras
The first PixeLink cameras to take advantage of Gigabit Ethernet will be the three-Megapixel PL-B776G and PL-B776G-BL. The letter G at the end of the camera model number denotes the GigE interface.
