EROS 10GigE cameras benefit from Emergent’s zero-copy imaging technology, which is critical at 10GigE, 5GigE and lower speeds. Zero-copy is integral to reliable imaging capture. In challenging machine vision applications, you can integrate many cameras into a single PC with Emergent’s guarantee of performance.

EROS cameras work using NVIDIA’s GPUDirect, which enables high-speed, low-latency transfer of data from peripherals such as network interface cards (NICs) and storage devices to NVIDIA GPUs for processing. In the case of a NIC, the technology uses remote direct memory access (RDMA) to facilitate data transfer directly from the NIC into GPU memory, effectively bypassing the central processing unit (CPU) and system memory.

The result is an extremely low-latency, low-jitter path from a data source such as GigE cameras to the powerful processing capabilities of a GPU.

Multi-camera competitor systems using GigE Vision 3.0 with RoCEv2 will not have zero-copy imaging capability at speeds lower than 10GigE.

Zero-copy imaging is enhanced by FlexProc and FlexTrans, newly introduced technologies that allow drag and drop user control of processing tasks between nodes in your vision system.
