Prosilica GT at a glance
Prosilica GT cameras have a Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) interface and work with Gigabit
Ethernet hardware and cable lengths up to 100 m. Prosilica GT cameras are GigE
Vision V1.2 and GenICam Standard Feature Naming Convention (SFNC) V1.2.1
compliant.
Applied standards
GigE Vision® The GigE Vision standard is an interface standard for digital machine vision
cameras administered by the Automated Imaging Association (AIA) that is widely
supported in the machine vision industry. In contrast, Gigabit Ethernet is the
network GigE Vision is built upon.
GenICam™ GenICam is a machine vision standard hosted by the European Machine Vision
Association (EMVA). The aim of GenICam is to provide a generic configuration
interface for cameras and devices independent of the used interface technology
(i.e., GigE Vision, USB3 Vision, DCAM IEEE 1394, Camera Link). This approach
enables proper interoperability between GenICam compliant hardware and
software solutions without the need for customization.
The GenICam standard consists of multiple modules that specify tasks to be solved.
Allied Vision cameras and software make use of these modules, like the Standard
Feature Naming Convention (SFNC) that standardizes feature names and types via
an XML file or the transport layer interface (GenTL) that is used to grab images.
