Kithara Software, specialist in the field of real-time, has successfully completed a software solution for 10 Gbit/s Ethernet industrial cameras. The support of GigE Vision in real-time allows for deterministic image capturing with high data rates, especially for quality assurance and robotics.
Based on the Kithara real-time Ethernet drivers for 10 Gbit/s network controllers, data captured by cameras with accordingly high transfer rates can be processed in real-time to meet high-precision and time-critical requirements.
Uwe Jesgarz, managing director of Kithara Software, explains: “The enhanced memory buffering is extremely reliable in preventing packet loss. Response times to incoming GigE Vision images in the »RealTime Suite« happens within a few microseconds.”
The interface standard GigE Vision® provides the popular benefits of Ethernet such as the utilization of cost-efficient and standardized hardware, high data rates and cable range as well as a diversity of applicable cameras.
