GigE Vision is a widely adopted interface, with dozens of leading companies currently offering hundreds of GigE Vision compliant products. GigE Vision offers many benefits including:

FAST	High bandwidth (1000 Mbps) transfers large images quickly in real time
ABUNDANT	Uncompromised data transfer up to 100 meters in length
STANDARD	Low cost CAT5e or CAT6 cables and standard connectors
SCALABLE	Highly scalable to the fast growth of Ethernet
LOW COST	Standard hardware and cables allow easy, low cost integration

GigE Vision Version 1.2 Released January 2010

Version 1.2 introduces non-streaming device control to the popular standard. It accommodates networked video distribution applications that leverage switched Ethernet client/server video networks. Devices such as GigE Vision-enabled lights will now be automatically recognized by the computers on the network

The standard was developed and is maintained by dedicated group of companies representing every sector of the vision industry. The Automated Imaging Association (AIA) oversees the ongoing development and administration of the standard.

To ensure true plug and play compatibility, look for the GigE Vision Logo- only certified compliant products can carry the logo!
