Teledyne e2v’s UNiiQA+ and ELiiXA+ colour line scan cameras are available with an NBASE-T™ Ethernet frame grabber-less interface. This provides customers with a more cost effective solution to transmit uncompressed, high bandwidth images from the cameras into their systems at the highest possible speeds. The cameras are just part of a comprehensive range of line scan cameras which also comprise of CameraLink (ELiiXA+ and UNiiQA+) and CoaXPress (ELiiXA+) models.
To maintain a competitive advantage, industry leaders in the machine vision market must continuously improve defect detection accuracy and reduce the cost of imaging. The availability of the ELiiXA+ and UNiiQA+ cameras with an NBASE-T™ connection offers a solution to this challenge, providing:
- High throughput – enabling high resolution and colour imaging without a frame grabber at speeds of up to 5 Gigabits per second (Gbps) over Category 5 standard cable and 10 Gbps over Category 6 cable
- Easy integration – compatible with GigE Vision protocol, Category 5 standard cable (in 5Gbps)
- Long-length (100 metres+), field terminable, inexpensive cabling – reducing costs and enabling easier integration in imaging systems compared with fibre optic cabling
- Compatibility with existing 1GigE systems and solutions
Teledyne e2v has partnered with Pleora Technologies, the world’s leading supplier of high performance video interfaces. Pleora Technologies was the first company from the machine vision industry to join the NBASE-T™ Alliance, a consortium collaborating on new technologies that extends the bandwidth capabilities of twisted-pair copper cabling using standard Ethernet technology. e2v is now a member of this innovative consortium.

New Imaging Technologies (NIT) leaders in Infrared Imaging
NIT SWIR or Short-Wave Infrared imaging covers the wavelength range from 900nm to 1700nm. A large number of applications that are difficult or impossible to perform using visible light are made possible, with excellent results, using short-wave infrared (SWIR) imaging thus enabling the user to “See Beyond the Visible”.
SWIR is similar to visible light in that photons are reflected or absorbed by an object, providing the strong contrast needed for higher resolution imaging – unlike thermal images, that rely on radiated photons. At NIT, we offer unique SWIR cameras and sensors, see below for more information on our products. Both room temperature and cooled cameras are available with a choice of resolutions and camera outputs available.
