Pleora External iPORT CL-GigE
Highlights
Transmit video from Camera Link Base cameras over GigE across a wide operating temperature range with Pleora External iPORT CL-GigE.
The Pleora External iPORT CL-GigE allows manufacturers and integrators to treat Camera Link® Base configuration cameras as native GigE Vision® cameras in vision systems operating in -40°C to +60°C environments. Designed specifically for highly reliable video transmission in challenging operating conditions, Camera Link cameras can enjoy the long-distance cabling reach, computing platform support, and networking advantages of Gigabit Ethernet (GigE).
The iPORT CL-GigE converts video data from Camera Link cameras to packets and transmits it over a GigE link with low, predictable latency. GigE supports cabling distances of up to 100 meters using standard CAT5e/6 cabling. With off-the-shelf Ethernet switches, distances can be unlimited. Integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) and Power over Camera Link (PoCL) capabilities enable one-cable installations to further simplify design and reduce component counts. The industrial-grade frame grabbers comply fully with the GigE Vision and GenICam™ standards, enabling interoperability with third-party equipment in multi-vendor systems. Equipped with an on-board programmable logic controller (PLC) and IEEE 1588 capabilities. The CL-GigE Allows users to precisely control, trigger, and synchronize equipment and multiple cameras, while the sophisticated GPIO minimizes the effects of electrical noise.
The iPORT CL-GigE is supported by Pleora’s feature-rich eBUS™ SDK application tool kit and drivers. With this software suite, designers can rapidly prototype and deploy production-ready software to support video transmission over GigE, 10 GigE, USB 3.0, and wireless using the same application programming interface (API). With the Pleora External iPORT CL-GigE, manufacturers and integrators can shorten time-to-market, lower design and component costs, and reduce deployment risk by reusing expensive or application-specific Camera Link cameras in GigE Vision installations, with minimal software development.
