  • GigE Vision is an interface standard for high-performance industrial cameras. It has been developed by a group of about 50 companies. The 12 major companies are: Adimec, Atmel, Basler AG, CyberOptics, DALSA, JAI A/S, JAI PULNiX, Matrox, National Instruments, Photonfocus, Pleora Technologies, Stemmer Imaging. The Automated Imaging Association (AIA) oversees the ongoing development and administration of the standard. GigE Vision is a registered trademark of the AIA. GigE Vision is based on the Internet Protocol standard. The standard is trying to unify protocols currently used in machine vision industrial cameras and let 3rd party organizations develop compatible software and hardware. The GigE Vision standard is a closed standard available to AIA members only despite comments found on the Internet. One consequence of this is that only AIA members can build devices or software that interoperate through GigE Vision, this includes image acquisition software. Another consequence is that it is not possible to write open source software that uses GigE Vision as it could reveal the details of the closed standard, which is why all image acquisition SDKs for GigE Vision must be closed source. Features of the GigE Vision standard: Fast data transfer rates - up to 1000Mbit/s; Data transfer length up to 100m (some producers claim even 150m) exceeding maximum length of firewire, USB and Cameralink interfaces. The use of switches or repeaters increases the length; Based on established standard allowing with other ethernet devices and computers. GigE Vision has four main elements: GigE Vision Control Protocol. Runs on the UDP protocol. The standard defines how to control and configure devices. Specifies stream channels and the mechanisms of sending image and configuration data between cameras and computers; GigE Vision Stream Protocol. Covers the definition of data types and the ways images can be transferred via GigE; GigE Device Discovery Mechanism. Provides mechanisms to obtain IP addresses; An XML description file based on the GenICam standard. A datasheet that allows access to camera controls and image stream.
