28 Apr 2016 Today´s demanding challenges in scientific imaging applications often have one critical bottleneck: a limiting bandwidth of the camera´s data interface. Doubtlessly, this has a strong negative impact on both, efficient work flow and optimal results. The German camera manufacturer PCO AG has made efforts to counteract this issue, being the first company worldwide to bring scientific CMOS cameras with an ultra-fast Camera Link HS data interface onto the market.
The integration of Camera Link HS into PCO´s versatile sCMOS camera portfolio constitutes the combination of a great range of benefits. Alongside renowned pco.edge features, which also can be found in the company´s sCMOS product overview (link below), the new generation of high-speed data transfer enables for instance:
•1.1 GBytes/s image data bandwidth per lane (three time faster than USB 3.0)
•overcoming of significant distances with fiber optic cable
•extremely high data reliability due to improved robust connection
•increased flexibility due to trigger transmission over the data cable with less than 13 ns jitter
•cost-effective use of standard network hardware components such as SFP+ and inexpensive licensing
