The Pleora iPORT CL-U3M External Frame Grabbers from Aegis Electronic Group empower system manufacturers and integrators with unparalleled flexibility. Seamlessly converting Camera Link cameras into native USB3 Vision devices, these external frame grabbers enable high-speed data transport over the ubiquitous USB 3.0 bus. Designed for Base and Medium mode Camera Link cameras, they offer low-latency video transmission to workstations via a standard USB 3.0 port, eliminating the need for specialized frame grabber slots. This innovation allows for reduced system size, cost, and power consumption, making it compatible with smaller form factor computing platforms like laptops and embedded computers.
Featuring integrated PLC and GPIO capabilities, users gain control, triggering, and synchronization for enhanced vision system coordination. Compliant with USB3 Vision and GenICam standards, these frame grabbers ensure seamless interoperability in multi-vendor environments. The bundled eBUS SDK application toolkit enhances the user experience, offering a rich set of features for streamlined development. Ideal for applications requiring extended temperature operation and power over Camera Link (PoCL), Pleora's CL-U3M sets a new standard for cost-effective, high-performance industrial imaging solutions.
