Prosilica GX - Fast digital cameras for machine vision

The fastest Gigabit Ethernet cameras in the world - 240MB/s

The Prosilica GX cameras are fast, compact machine vision cameras with Gigabit Ethernet interface (GigE Vision®). The GX-Series have two screw-captivated Gigabit Ethernet ports configured as a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) to provide a sustained maximum data rate of 240 MBytes per second. The Prosilica GX can also work at half the bandwidth (120 MB/s) using a single cable.

Very Fast - 240 MB/s
3-axis motorized lens control and video-type autoiris
Single or dual Ethernet port operation
1 to 29 Megapixel
Fast frame rates to 112 fps
Kodak KAI and Sony quad-tap CCD sensors
Modular options available
