Introduction
GigE
Vision is a standard interface which uses Gigabit Ethernet for machine vision applications. It
was developed primarily 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 over long distances.
GigE
Vision also supports the GenICam
TM
standard which is maintained 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.
