Canadian company lays claim to "smallest machine vision camera"
Emergent Vision Technologies (Port Coquitlam, British Columbia) a pioneer in high-speed GigE Vision cameras and zero-copy and zero-loss vision technologies, recently introduced Eros, which it claims is "the world’s smallest and lowest-power lineup of 10GigE cameras" designed for machine vision.
Initially introduced as a 5GigE camera series, Eros was demonstrated at VISION 2024 in Stuttgart, Germany, as a 29 x 29 mm 10GigE camera with BaseT/RJ45 Power over Ethernet (PoE) and SFP+ fiber interface options, running at 4.8W 10GBaseT with PoE, 4W with 10GBaseT without PoE, and 3W on SFP+ single-mode fiber. The machine vision cameras offer the same full features as Emergent’s HR 10GigE cameras, and for those requiring lower speeds, the Eros BaseT/RJ45 can auto-negotiate to 5GigE, 2.5GigE, or 1GigE while offering the same support for zero-copy imaging and GPUDirect, at a cost-effective price.
“Many machine vision camera companies want to make their cameras small, but small form-factor cameras can run at temperatures exceeding 60°C (140°F), making them hot to the touch. With smaller enclosures, it becomes difficult to dissipate heat,” says John Ilett, president and CTO at Emergent Vision Technologies. “Emergent now offers 10GigE cameras in both fiber and PoE options based on a groundbreaking firmware design that enables power consumption lower than any 5GigE camera in the market, including those without PoE.”
