Prosilica launches Gigabit Ethernet camera

(Product News, 16 Feb 2007)

Prosilica has started shipping its GE2040 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, sensitivity, small size, and Gigabit Ethernet interface (GigE Vision(TM) and GenICam).

Incorporating Kodak's KAI-4021 progressive scan CCD sensor, the Model GE2040 runs 15 fps at 2,048 x 2,048 resolution over Gigabit Ethernet interface. It is equipped with electronic shutter, external trigger and sync, general-purpose I/O, region of interest readout, various binning modes, and direct RGB24 output. GigE Vision interface offers sustained data rates of 124 MBps over Cat5e cable up to 100 m in length. Monochrome and color models are available with C-mount or F-mount.
