GigE bandwidth under control

Easy bandwidth management with GigE Vision multi-camera system

GigE Vision cameras transmit image data in small packets over the network, even before a captured sensor image is read out completely. This minimizes the delay of the image transfer.

However, if too much data is transferred at the same time, the maximum bandwidth of a GigE network can be exceeded very quickly. Especially multi-camera applications are affected. This results in transmission losses and increased transmission times if data has to be requested repeatedly.

The GigE Vision standard allows the configuration of transmission parameters to avoid such situations. Easily manage the available bandwidth with the extended settings of the IDS GigE Vision firmware 1.3.
