Prosilica GX series: the perfect balance of speed, resolution, functionality

Prosilica GX series GigE cameras camera-D1312C-160-CL-12  camera Go to AVT Cameras

Finally! No more need for trade-offs: both high-resolution AND double-speed

The best about Prosilica GX
Described by the manufacturer as "fast, sharp and groundbreaking", the Prosilica GX family of cameras supply the perfect balance between resolution and speed pushing 240 MB per second through its dual GigE Vision interface.

The GX-Series has two screw-captivated Gigabit Ethernet ports configured as a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) to provide a sustained maximum data rate of 240 MBytes per second. The result is that high-resolution images can be transmitted at speeds never before possible and by any other GigE camera in the market at the time of this publishing.

Compelling features
Up to 8 Megapixels of crystal-clear resolution
Capturing high-quality, high-resolution images with the Latest Kodak CCD sensor, the Prosilica GX series features five models with 1 to 8 Megapixel resolution (see specs below).

New lens-mount combination
The GX series boast being the first 8-Megapixel, F-Mount GigE camera in the market.

Perfect lens control
Above: GX industrial inspection ..Driving the optical settiings is made easier with the unique three-axis motorized lens control and
video auto-iris functionality. Due to its dedicated lens control interface, the camera adapts to changing lighting or object distance conditions when used for demanding applicaitons such as outfoor imaging or Intellilgent Transport Systems.

Keeping its cool
The cameras' ribbed housing has been especially designed for heat dissipation. The combination of a compact, rugged enclosure and optimized thermal management results in the delivery of high-quality images even in tough environments at up to 50°C room temperature.

The advantage of GigE Technology
In addition, the GigE technology offers very long cable lengths (up to 100 meters) using standard Cat5e cables and a low-cost interface that is widely used in computer networking hardware.

What is LAG technology?
The LAG technology enables the use of mulitiple ethernet cables/ports in order to increase the link speed beond the limits of any one single cable/port. When applied to image capture, when the camera is connected by two cables to the host computer, it sees the camera as one connection at twice the normal speed (240 MB/s). The Prosilica GX can also operate using a single standard CAT-5e Ethernet cable at 120 MB/s.
