Bigeye G GigE cameras
Bigeye G The Bigeye G cameras are cooled cameras equipped with high-quality CCD
sensors from SONY (with EXview HAD microlenses) or from Truesense (former
KODAK) both providing a high quantum efficiency.
For each of these sensors AVT applies special measures (by using only high-
quality components and designing a sophisticated circuitry) to provide an
outstanding image quality with low noise.
Image applications The Bigeye G camera series is equipped with a GigE Vision compliant AVT GigE
module. This series distinguishes from the Bigeye P series (equipped with
Pleora GigE module) by providing an extended feature set and AVT software
support.
GigE GigE is the abbreviation for Gigabit Ethernet.
All AVT Bigeye G cameras are GigE Vision compliant cameras with a Gigabit
Ethernet interface. AVT Bigeye G cameras work with standard Gigabit Ethernet
hardware and cables. AVT Bigeye G cameras support cable lengths up to 100 m,
using conventional Cat5e or better network cables.
Gigabit Ethernet has a data rate of 1000 Mbit/s or 1 Gbit/s. Gigabit Ethernet is
capable of handling streaming image data and providing reliable transmission
of image data.
GigE Vision The GigE Vision standard is an interface standard for high-performance
machine vision cameras that is widely supported in the industrial imaging
industry. GigE (Gigabit Ethernet), however, is simply the network structure GigE
Vision is built on.
The GigE Vision standard includes both a hardware interface standard (Gigabit
Ethernet) and standardized communication with the camera and controlling
the camera.
GenICam The GigE Vision camera control registers are based on a command structure
called GenICam that is administered through the European Machine Vision
Association (EMVA). GenICam seeks to establish a common camera control
interface: third-party software can communicate with cameras from various
manufacturers without customization. GenICam is incorporated as part of the
GigE Vision standard, so any GigE Vision compliant camera also complies with
GenICam.
Key benefits • Low-noise CCD cameras with stabilized dual-level Peltier cooling
• Excellent signal-to-noise ratio
• Low dark noise
• Excellent quantum efficiency and low readout noise contribute to the
cameras‘ outstanding performance for low-light applications up to very
long exposure times (> 60 minutes)
• 4 user-configurable input and output ports (no additional I/O cards
needed)
