GEViCAM GP-3780 GigE Vision Camera

The GEViCAM GP-3780 is comprised of Gigabit Ethernet cameras for industrial applications. They are designed on a common platform and comply with the GigE Vision standard for plug-and-play performance as well as a proprietary high performance SDK. GP-3360/C uses 1/3" VGA (659 x 494) CCD, GP-3780/C uses 1/3" XGA (1032 x 779) CCD, GP-21400/C uses 1/2" SXGA (1392 x 1040) CCD and GP-151400/C uses 2/3" SXGA (1392 x 1040) with a 12-bit A/D converter. The normal data output is selectable for 12-bit, 10-bit (MSB), or 8-bit (MSB) at 40 MHz to maintain excellent S/N ratio of >58 dB at factory default. The frame rate is 100 fps for VGA, 31 fps for XGA, 23 fps for 1/2" SXGA and 22 fps for 2/3" SXGA. For multiple camera applications, it accepts external trigger via GPIO (general purpose I/O) and resets the internal timing with no-delay and a time stamp to provide exact image locations. This eliminates a need for external sync (HD/VD), which tends to generate some PLL jitter. Streamlined designs for the camera and GigE section reduce the component count and make these cameras very compact and low cost, yet high performance. This is an ideal opportunity to upgrade machine vision applications from conventional analog cameras (+ frame grabber) to a frame grabber-less systems for improved cost performance.
