Fast VGA CMOS camera with GigE Vision Interface

The GE640 is a fast, VGA-resolution, high-performance machine vision camera with Gigabit Ethernet interface (GigE Vision*). The GE640 runs 200 frames per second at VGA resolution (640x480), uncompressed, over its Gigabit Ethernet interface. The CMOS sensor is suitable for applications where speed or resistance to blooming are required. The GE640 works with standard gigabit Ethernet hardware and cables and can have cable lengths up to 100 meters (300 ft) long using conventional Cat5e or Cat6 network cabling. Applications for the GE640 include high-speed inspection, machine vision, optical character recognition, traffic imaging, robotics, and OEM applications.
