GigE Vision® Device Package

High-speed image data transfer compliant with GigE Vision standard

The GigE Vision Device Package is an interface IP package for the transfer of image data complying with industrial GigE Vision camera standards. The IP transmits image data from the image sensor to Gigabit Ethernet in real-time. Users can build highly reliable products using its high-speed transfer capability and high-precision time synchronization.

GigE Vision is optimized for high-resolution, high-reliable machine vision cameras, medical imaging systems, and other applications that demand maximized Gigabit Ethernet performance. In addition to 1Gbps compatible GigE Vision IP, nBase-T compatible IP up to 10Gbps is also a
