Top 5 reasons to choose MEGAPLUS cameras with GigE Vision

1) Reduce CPU load with on-board, real time image processing.
One of the drawbacks of GigE Vision is increased load put on the host PC’s CPU. However, as MEGAPLUS cameras use advanced, FPGA based architecture, it can handle the post-acqusition functions such as defect correction, flat field normalization and color RGB interpolation right in the camera. This leaves valuable CPU cycles to be used for more advanced image manipulation/computational processes.

2) Support for advanced camera functionality
MEGAPLUS cameras are simply the most sophisticated high resolution industrial cameras on the market. The functionality is fully accessible via GigE Vision interface as well as Firewire or CameraLink interfaces.

3) Preserve your investment for years to come
Lot of cameras on the market require complete replacement when an application demands future upgradeability. But, with MEGAPLUS’ modular architecture, the upgradeability is a given. Simply use the camera head with the interface of your choice without sacrificing the core imaging performance.

4) The lowest noise is still important
MEGAPLUS cameras offer the best combination of imaging performance and GigE Vision interface. Low noise electronics and cooled design still form the backbone of the platform’s performance.

5) Reliability is not a given…it is proven
Thousands of MEGAPLUS cameras are being used worldwide in 24/7 operations. Ability to produce the cameras with consistent quality and long term reliability is second to none in the industry. Class 1000 clean room facilities and fully automated testing are just an example why they are treated as cut above the rest.
