Introduction
GigE Vision is the new standard interface using Gigabit Ethernet for machine vision
applications and it was mainly set up by AIA (Automated Imaging Association) members. GigE
Vision is capable of transmitting large amounts of uncompressed image data through an
inexpensive general purpose LAN cable for a long distance.
GigE
Vision also supports the GenICam
TM
standard which is mainly set up by the EMVA
(European Machine Vision Association). The purpose of the GenICam standard is to provide a
common program interface for various machine vision cameras. By using GenICam, cameras
from different manufactures can seamlessly connect in one platform.
For details about the GigE
Vision standard, please visit the AIA web site,
www.machinevisiononline.org and for GenICam, the EMVA web site, www.genicam.org.
JAI GigE
Vision cameras comply with both the GigE Vision standard and the GenICam standard.
