Quick Overview

*Please note tariff fee is included in price*

Pleora iPORT NTx-U3 Development Kit 903-0006 is an external-powered USB 3.0 / USB3 Vision embedded video interface kit that packetizes camera video up to 3 Gbps with low, consistent latency—ideal for rapid machine vision prototyping using the eBUS SDK.

Built for engineers integrating high-speed USB3 Vision into industrial imaging, the Pleora iPORT NTx-U3 Development Kit (903-0006) delivers a production-ready path from raw video signals to packetized USB 3.0 streaming. Using a Cypress FX3 controller and Cyclone V FPGA, it supports area scan and line scan modes with flexible pixel depths up to 32-bit, plus ROI/windowing for efficient bandwidth use.

The NTxU3 (9030006) external-powered kit includes the core iPORT NTx-U3 board set, adapter hardware, power supply, and the Pleora eBUS SDK—helping teams prototype quickly and deploy using the same API across USB 3.0, GigE, and 10GigE ecosystems. With compact form factor, low power draw, and robust signaling options, it’s a dependable building block for embedded vision connectivity in demanding industrial environments.
