5GigE Cameras for true High-Speed Applications
Emergent’s brand new Eros 5GigE camera series are offering unmatched performance and versatility. Many products in the GigE Vision market follow similar templates, but the Eros camera stands apart. Built for true high-speed applications, the camera series is supported with zero-copy technology, which eliminates unnecessary data copying and reduces processing overhead, making it ideal for real-time multi-camera applications. By focusing on efficiency, scalability, and seamless integration, the series addresses a wide variety of industry needs – from industrial automation to scientific research and entertainment. At Vision, Emergent Vision is showcasing a machine learning conveyor demo featuring multiple 5GigE HE25000-SBL cameras and multiple 5GigE SWIR HE5300-SI cameras. This setup represents a cutting-edge approach to automated defect detection. Leveraging machine learning libraries like PyTorch, the system is trained to detect defects on objects such as blister packs in real time. What sets this demo apart is the integration of GPU Direct technology, which allows images to be transferred directly from the cameras to the GPU without involving the CPU. This direct path ensures that data moves quickly, minimizing latency and improving processing speed. Once the data is on the GPU, machine learning models trained in-house run in real time to provide immediate results. This seamless operation is made possible through the eCapture Pro software, which is equipped with a GPU Direct plug-in, enabling rapid high-performance prototyping and deployment.
Fastest RDMA Solution in the Industry
Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) is often promoted as the future of high-speed data transfer, particularly within the GigE Vision framework. Emergent Vision recognizes RDMA’s potential but remains realistic about its current limitations. While RDMA enables direct access to memory without burdening the CPU, it also requires specialized hardware and software infrastructure, which limits its universal appeal. That said, RDMA has the potential to significantly enhance data transfer rates in specific applications, and Emergent Vision is proud to showcase their progress in this area. At Vision, the fastest RDMA solution in the industry will be shown, using the 100GigE HZ-65000-G camera.
Extreme fast 100GigE Line-Scan Cameras
Line-scan cameras are critical for a wide range of industrial applications. By expanding their portfolio to include 100GigE line-scan cameras, Emergent is now offering the fastest sensors on the market with resolutions ranging from 4 to 16K. At Vision, they are presenting a line-scan demo, featuring the LZ-16KG5-M and LZT-9KG5 cameras. The LZ-16KG5-M camera boasts a 400KHz line rate with a 16Kx16 resolution, making it ideal for applications that require high-resolution imaging at extremely fast speeds. The LZT-9KG5, on the other hand, offers a 608KHz line rate with a 9K 256 TDI resolution, making it the fastest TDI line-scan camera with a 100GigE interface. In this demo, the cameras will be scanning a print mounted on a rotating drum with a built-in encoder. This real-time setup highlights the immense speed and precision of the line-scan cameras, as well as the power of the eCapture Pro and eSDK software. These tools ensure zero-copy data handling and best-in-class driver performance.
