TCP for Reliable 10 GigE Image Transfer

TCP has arrived for industrial 10GigE cameras, offering a connection-oriented protocol for better flow control, packet resend, and packet coalescing allowing for guaranteed full frame delivery. While UDP has been the protocol used for GigE Vision cameras for its speed and low latency, TCP offers more reliability as bandwidth increases to 10GigE, especially for multi-10GigE camera applications. Review the benefits and challenges of both TCP and UDP in our latest Tech Brief.

Event-based Camera Debut at VISION

PROPHESEE earned this year's Vision Award in Stuttgart for its 3rd generation Metavision sensor. At VISION PROPHESEE also demonstrated a prototype of LUCID's event-based Triton GigE Vision camera with the Metavision sensor. Event-based vision opens up new industrial applications with significantly improved performance, lower power consumption and up to 1000 times fewer data produced than conventional sensors.
