Pike
The
Pike
is
a
fast
IEEE1394b
camera
for
demanding
applications.
Numerous
pre-processing
functions
produce
an
outstanding
image
quality.
Pike
cameras
can
be
operated
with
very
high
frame
rates
and
offer
more
real-time
functions
than
specified
in
the
IIDC
standards.
They
can
even
emulate
traditional
frame
grabber
functions.
IEEE1394b
IEEE1394b
provides
a
plug
&
play
interface
standard
with
high-speed,
deterministic
data
transmission.
The
camera
communication
protocol
is
standardized
and
can
easily
be
integrated
into
your
application
GOF
Pike
cameras
are
available
both
with
two
copper
ports
(for
daisy-chaining)
and
with
copper/GOF
(glass
optical
fiber)
ports.
Advantages
of
GOF:
•
800
Mbit/s
over
400
meters
and
more
•
No
additional
repeaters
required
•
Transmission
of
light
instead
of
electricity:
No
ground
problems
and
no
interference
with
electromagnetic
fields.
Image applications
Allied
Vision
can
provide
users
with
a
range
of
products
that
meet
almost
all
the
requirements
of
a
very
wide
range
of
image
applications.
FireWire
The
industry
standard
IEEE1394
(FireWire
or
i.Link)
facilitates
the
simplest
computer
compatibility
and
bidirectional
data
transfer
using
the
plug
&
play
process.
Further
development
of
the
IEEE1394
standard
has
already
made
800
Mbit/second
possible.
Investment
in
this
standard
is
therefore
secure
for
the
future;
each
further
development
takes
into
account
compatibility
with
the
preceding
standard,
and
vice
versa,
meaning
that
IEEE1394b
is
reverse-
compatible
with
IEEE1394a.
Your
applications
will
grow
as
technical
progress
advances.
