Prosilica Releases High Resolution Gigabit Ethernet Camera

21 May 2007

Prosilica has started shipping its GE2040 ultra-high resolution Gigabit Ethernet camera adding to its wide range of GigE Vision CCD cameras. Prosilica developed the GE2040 in response to customer demand for an especially high resolution machine vision camera with fast frame-rates, excellent sensitivity, small size, and Gigabit Ethernet interface (GigE Vision™ and GenICam).

Incorporating Kodak’s state-of-the-art KAI-4021 progressive scan CCD sensor, the GE2040 runs 15 frames per second at 2048x2048 resolution over its Gigabit Ethernet interface. Both monochrome and color models of the GE2040 are available with either C-mount or F-mount. The camera housing measures approximately 4x5x6.5 centimeters making it the smallest camera in its class. Like all of Prosilica’s cameras, the GE2040 has an electronic shutter suitable for capturing high-speed motion events. A rich set of features including external trigger and sync, general purpose I/O, region of interest readout, various binning modes, and direct RGB24 output make this camera suitable for a wide variety of applications. Such applications include PCB inspection, flat panel display inspection, gauging, medical imaging, and general machine vision. The high resolution and snapshot shutter make the GE2040 particularly suited to traffic and public security applications.

GigE Vision™ is an interface standard for Gigabit Ethernet cameras that provides for plug-and-play interconnectivity between compliant components. The GigE Vision interface developed by Prosilica is capable of sustained data rates of 124 Megabytes per second over standard Cat5e cable up to 100 meters in length. In addition to Prosilica’s own SDK, third party software from industry leaders such as Matrox Imaging and National Instruments directly support Prosilica’s GigE Vision cameras. Prosilica’s GigE Vision cameras do not require a frame grabber and are very easy to use. Ease of use and third party hardware and software compatibility make system integration easier and more economical than ever.

“The GE2040 further extends Prosilica’s technical leadership in the machine vision market” says Marty Furse, Prosilica CEO. “There is no other camera that offers the same performance and range of features. When combined with Prosilica’s customer-acclaimed software development kit there is really nothing comparable in the market”.
