PORT COQUITLAM — Emergent Vision Technologies, introduces a new 100GigE line scan camera, the Pinnacle TLZ-9KG5. Through its 100GigE QSFP28 interface, the camera reaches a top single line rate of 608 kHz.
The camera reportedly features the 9K, 256-stage time delay integration (TDI) Gpixel GLT5009BSI CMOS sensor with a 5×5 µm pixel size and a 45.36 mm sensor scanning width. Both GigE Vision and GenICam compliant, the camera supports cable lengths from 1M up to 10KM without costly fiber converters/repeaters. Additionally, the 100GigE camera provides advanced line scan features including internal rotary or linear encoder support and features an M52 mount, 1 µs–1 s exposure/integration time.
“Applications in industries including food and beverage, printing and packaging, steel, and pharmaceutical see materials moving at high speeds that must be inspected for quality assurance,” said John Ilett, president and CTO at Emergent Vision Technologies. “These machine vision applications require ultra-high speeds, superior image quality, and no data loss for maximum throughput. Our 100GigE line scan cameras address these challenging needs.”
To help end users get the most out of their high-speed 100GigE cameras, Emergent Vision Technologies offers a series of network interface cards (NICs). They deliver optimal camera performance for any video stream with minimal system memory utilization.
“A dual-port Zeus NIC can support two of our 100GigE TLZ-9KG5 line scan cameras, while a competing solution would require the use of multiple frame grabbers,” said Ilett. “Keep system cost and complexity down while getting the highest possible frame rates available in the market today.”
Like all other Emergent line scan cameras, the TLZ-9KG5 is also supported by off-the-shelf NICs from Mellanox (NVIDIA) and Broadcom for comparable performance.
