With the new Dual GigE interface, Baumer offers an innovative GigE network solution for the implementation of cameras with fast sensors and high frame rates. State-of-the-art Kodak sensors offer Quad Tap readouts, providing excellent image quality and high frame rates simultaneously. Baumer's new Dual GigE interface doubles the standard bandwidth. With the capability of transferring at 240 MB/s, the full potential of the Kodak Quad Tap sensors can now be used. With a transfer distance of 100 m, the Dual GigE interface offers all the advantages of the standard GigE interface. However, the redundant concept of the Dual GigE system provides better transfer security, ensuring data transfer and reliable camera operation even if one of the two Ethernet cables is disconnected.

Baumer introduces the industrial SXG cameras as the first cameras equipped with the new technology. By using the full performance of the Kodak sensors, the SXG cameras can offer excellent images with resolutions from 1 to 8 megapixels and simultaneous frame rates up to 120 frames per second. All cameras are supplied with Power over the Ethernet (POE) technology to elimi-nate a separate power cable.
