The most important vision interfaces

Basler routinely observes and assesses technological changes in the market. USB, CoaXPress and GigE serve well - today and in the future.

Key selection criteria for choosing an interface

Bandwidth

The speed at which image data is transferred from the camera to the host system. The higher the bandwidth, the more data flows from A to B simultaneously.

Cable length

The distance between the vision system and the host system determines the required cable length.

Multi-camera setup

Not all interfaces are equally suitable for operating a multi-camera system; these setups require precise synchronization and real-time capability.
