The HIKROBOT MV-GE1004 frame grabber is engineered to enhance the efficiency and reliability of machine vision systems. Its onboard 1 GB DDR3-RAM memory is crucial for reducing CPU load by processing images directly on the card, ensuring higher throughput and faster response times. The PCI-E Gen2 × 4 interface provides a substantial peak transfer bandwidth of 1720 MB/s and a sustained transfer bandwidth of 1600 MB/s, enabling the rapid acquisition of large image datasets. This makes it exceptionally well-suited for applications requiring high-speed data streaming from multiple cameras simultaneously.
Adhering to the GigE Vision standard, the MV-GE1004 supports up to four Gigabit Ethernet cameras, each operating at 1 Gbps, with four dedicated stream channels. This ensures robust and reliable image transfer over standard CAT5e or CAT6 cables, offering flexibility in camera placement up to 100 meters without the need for repeaters. The inclusion of Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability on each channel, providing up to 15W, simplifies cabling by supplying both data and power to compatible cameras, though an ATX 6-pin power supply connection is required for this feature.
The broad support for various pixel formats, including Mono 8/10/10p/12/12p, Bayer 8/10/10p/12/12p, YUV422Packed, YUV422_YUYV_Packed, RGB 8, and BGR 8, ensures compatibility with a wide range of industrial cameras and image processing requirements. Furthermore, the comprehensive general I/O capabilities, featuring 24-way interfaces including opto-isolated inputs and outputs, 422 interfaces, and TTL interfaces, allow for seamless integration with external triggers, sensors, and control systems, enhancing synchronization and system automation.
