GigE cameras to adopt AIA standard
Camera vendors are readying products to support the latest AIA GigE standard.
Many people in the machine-vision industry approach the subject of GigE cameras from a communications-protocol perspective, citing the benefits of a large installed base of networked CPUs and PLCs and the ease of transferring data between components using standards-based protocols. Until now, however, Ethernet-based systems have not been seen as a means to transfer image data between cameras and host computers.
