Pleora’s (Kanata, ON) iPORT CL-Deca external frame grabber brings Camera Link cameras into modern GigE Vision systems by converting video from Base, Medium, Full, and 80-bit cameras into GigE Vision 2.0 streams over standard 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
Using off-the-shelf network adapters, switches, and cabling, system designers can extend camera reach, simplify deployment, and build scalable distributed vision architectures without requiring dedicated PCIe frame grabbers. Fully compliant with GigE Vision 2.0 and GenICam, the CL-Deca integrates seamlessly into multi-vendor environments and can operate alongside GigE Vision cameras across multiple Ethernet speeds. An onboard programmable logic controller (PLC) provides advanced triggering, synchronization, measurement, and control capabilities, while support from Pleora’s eBUS SDK accelerates application development and system integration.
Key features of the new external frame grabber include:
- GigE Vision 2.0 and GenICam compliant
- Supports Camera Link Base, Medium, Full, and 80-bit cameras
- 10/5/2.5/1 Gigabit Ethernet compatibility
- Low, predictable end-to-end latency
- Area scan and line scan operation
- Integrated programmable logic controller (PLC)
- IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol support
- Action command support
- Record and playback capability
- Power over Camera Link (PoCL) support
- Supported by Pleora’s eBUS SDK development toolkit
The CL-Deca is available in both enclosed and OEM configurations for machine vision, industrial automation, medical imaging, security, and defense applications.
