GigE Vision is the Network Camera Interface Standard for Machine Vision based on Gigabit Ethernet Technology

The Machine Vision specific GigE Vision standard is based on Gigabit Ethernet and will benefit the industry and users by:

1. Speeding time-to-market: GigE Vision allows for seamless inter-working between Machine Vision hardware and Machine Vision software products. Hence, Gigabit Ethernet will greatly reduce the tedious, time-consuming multi-vendor integration issues that slow down the Machine Vision industry.
2. Increasing R&D resources for customer applications: The Gigabit Ethernet Machine Vision standard will greatly reduce the dollars taken from innovation budgets to build interfaces to proprietary products. Hence, Gigabit Ethernet results in more money for projects that bring direct results to the customer.
3. Opening new applications markets: By leveraging economical, well understood commercial technology- such as GigE switches, GigE network interface chips, GigE cards and standard Cat-5 copper cabling, Machine Vision systems are more affordable and easier to use.
