Originally introduced as a 5GigE camera series, the Eros will also be available as a 29x29mm 10GigE camera with BaseT/RJ45 PoE and SFP+ fiber interface options, running at 4.8W 10GBaseT with PoE, 4W with 10GBaseT without PoE, and 3W on SFP+ single-mode fiber. Furthermore, the feature set is not reduced compared to other models and Emergent’s zero-copy and GPU Direct solutions are available for an overall solution which is second to none. Actually RoCEv2 and GigEVision 3.0 are gathering attention for performance cameras. But this is neglecting the performance of multiple lower speed camera systems. RoCEv2 requires more FPGA resources to implement and as such the cost of the FPGA will be higher than that of the lightweight standard and mature GigEVision GVSP protocol. In order to create the smallest and lowest cost camera that these cameras from various manufacturers are not supporting RoCEv2 below 10GigE and some not below 25GigE. This is one way in which Emergent’s new Eros 10GigE offering will continue to provide true Zero copy performance while the others rely on TCP and conventional GVSP processing which yields 3x memory bandwidth and 33% efficiency of the Emergent Zero copy methods. In multi-camera systems, Emergent will remain unmatched in system density and price performance metrics. Despite the limitations of GigEVision 3 ROCEv2, we do have such support with a simple firmware upgrade to our existing cameras if this is important to the customers.
Sanovo’s Money back guarantee
Sanovo Technology Group is an excellent example of how Emergent technology and support can help level-up a system both in price and performance. Sanovo has worked with and failed to realize their goals with other top camera manufacturers in the industry. At this point, Sanovo turned to Emergent. The company was shy to purchase immediately after being realised to buy and test cameras from the other manufacturers for their desired configuration. Sanovo was not able to achieve stability with 1/4 of the desired camera quantity. At Emergent, we were so confident we could fulfil their needs that we offered a money back guarantee on a turn-key system including 21x 10GigE cameras, server, switch, NICs, GPUs, etc. We used eCapture Pro to prototype the configuration and delivered this to Sanovo where they promptly approved and then began writing their final application with the Emergent eSDK.
Lowest Power and Price
With the introduction of the 10GigE Eros line, Emergent now has the most complete portfolio of GigE cameras ranging in performance from 1GigE up to 100GigE. The company also guarantees the highest performance and most flexible drivers in the industry. The Eros 10GigE cameras are the lowest power and price of any 10GigE or 5GigE camera in the market due to best in class design. With the Eros release in early 2025, the company will also launch a new Theia Quad POE 10G NIC with a price tag of 549 Euro. The Eros cameras will start at 549 Euro.
