Pleora iPORT NTx-Mini (904-3011) Embedded Video Interface
*Please note tariff fee is included in price*
Rapidly add high-performance GigE Vision connectivity to cameras.Pleora’s iPORT™ NTx-Mini Embedded Video Interface hardware provides system and camera manufacturers with a straightforward way to integrate Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) video connectivity into their products. With the NTx-Mini, manufacturers can shorten time-to-market, reduce development and deployment risk, and lower design and system costs. For manufacturers requiring deeper levels of integration, the NTx-Mini technology is available in the iPORT NTx-Pro2 Intellectual Property (IP)package that includes an FPGA IP core, a hardware reference design, and expert design review services.
NTx-Mini embedded hardware interacts seamlessly with Pleora's other products in networked or point-to-point digital video systems. The hardware also complies fully with the GigE Vision® and GenICam™ standards, enabling interoperation with third-party equipment in multi-vendor environments. The embedded hardware converts video data to packets at GigE's full, 1 Gb/s throughput rate and sends it with low, consistent latency over a GigE link to receiving software or hardware. To speed time-to-market, Pleora offers an evaluation kit for the NTx-Mini. This kit allows manufacturers to produce system or camera prototypes and proof-of-concept demonstrations easily and rapidly, often without undertaking hardware development.
Features:
- Compact and low power
- GigE Vision and GenICam compliant
- Throughput up to GigE’s full 1 Gb/s rate
- Up to 24-bit, 90 MHz parallel LVTTL/LVCMOS video input, and 2 interleaved taps
- Line scan and area scan modes
- 32 MB frame buffer for store-and-forward applications
- Updatable firmware via the GigE port for ease of manufacturing and feature upgrades in the field
Applications:
- Factory Automation
- Robotics
- Medical
- Military
