Pleora iPORT NTx-U3 (903-0004) External-Powered Embedded Video Interface OEM Basic Board Set
*Please note tariff fee is included in price*
Pleora iPORT NTx-U3 (903-0004) is an external-powered OEM basic board set that packetizes video for up to 3 Gbps USB 3.0 streaming with low, consistent latency—ideal for embedded machine vision and industrial imaging integration.
Pleora’s iPORT NTx-U3 (9030004) is an external-powered embedded video interface board set that adds high-performance USB 3.0 / USB3 Vision-style packetized video connectivity to industrial cameras and imaging systems. It converts incoming video to packets at up to 3 Gbps throughput while maintaining low, consistent latency—ideal for real-time machine vision streaming to host software over a USB 3.0 link.
Built around a Cypress FX3 USB 3.0 controller and Altera Cyclone V FPGA, the NTxU3 supports area scan and line scan, wide pixel depths (8–32 bit), ROI/windowing, and tap reconstruction (interleaved). Developers can accelerate integration using Pleora’s eBUS™ SDK, leveraging a consistent API approach across GigE, 10GigE, and USB 3.0 workflows for faster prototyping and production deployment.
