Knowledge base

Triggering according to the Lego principle

The trigger features of IDS Vision cameras can be flexibly combined just like Lego bricks. This offers a wide range of trigger options.
Polarization in real time

IDS polarization cameras analyze the polarization of light and provide special image formats for direct evaluation on the host PC.
Clock comparison

Using the "Precision Time Protocol" (PTP), IDS GigE Vision cameras generate image data with timestamps of the same time base.
