IC USB 3 to 10 GigE Software Converter
Published on March 8, 2018 by TIS Marketing.
Charlotte, NC, United States (March 8, 2018) - The Imaging Source, international manufacturer of industrial cameras, has just announced the immediate availability of its new software converter, IC USB 3 to 10 GigE.
With the new IC USB 3 to 10 GigE software, The Imaging Source makes possible for the first time the transfer of large amounts of image data from one or more USB 3 cameras over a 10 GigE network at full bandwidth. Connected for example to an Intel NUC, the camera's USB 3 data is converted via the software to 10 GigE and transmitted over a fiber or copper connection. The USB 3 camera's image data can then be displayed and controlled from any PC with a 10 GigE or Thunderbolt interface. The software is available for free download with all USB 3 cameras from The Imaging Source.
This solution is especially relevant when trying to bridge greater distances while using USB 3 cameras with Sony Pregius and On Semiconductor PYTHON sensors. For the first time, it is possible to achieve full-speed transmission of USB 3 data over Cat6 and fiber cables using the following additional hardware.
Suggested Cat6 configurations for distances of up to 100 m:
| Sender | 10 GigE converter | Receiver | 10 GigE converter |
|---|---|---|---|
| NUC with Thunderbolt | Promise SANLink3 adapter | NUC with Thunderbolt | Promise SANLink3 adapter |
| NUC with Thunderbolt | Promise SANLink3 adapter | Pentium or better | ASUS XG-C1000C PCIe |
| Pentium or better | ASUS XG-C1000C PCIe | Pentium or better | ASUS XG-C1000C PCIe |
Suggested LWL configurations for distances of up to 100 m
| Sender | 10 GigE converter | Receiver | 10 GigE converter |
|---|---|---|---|
| NUC with Thunderbolt | Promise SANLink2 10 G SFP+ | NUC with Thunderbolt | Promise SANLink2 10 G SFP+ |
| NUC with Thunderbolt | Promise SANLink2 10 G SFP+ | Pentium or better | 10 GigE LAN SFP+ PCIe |
| Pentium or better | Delock 10 GigE LAN SFP+ PCIe | Pentium or better | Delock 10 GigE LAN SFP+ PCIe |
Hardware described above is commonly available, standard hardware.
Included with camera delivery: Software converter, drivers for Windows XP, Vista, 7/8/10, the SDK IC Imaging Control 3.2 (.NET and C++ library) and IC Capture for image acquisition; IC 3D for 3D stereo depth estimation; IC Measure for on-screen measurement; and IC Barcode, an SDK for 1- and 2D barcode detection.
