iPORT™ NTx-Mini

Pleora's 3rd generation iPORT NTx-Mini in-camera IP Engine provides a flexible and cost-effective way for camera companies to integrate Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) connectivity into almost any industrial camera. With its ultra-small footprint, low power consumption, and flexible mounting options, the affordable NTx-Mini is an exceptional fit for small-body cameras with strict power budgets.

The NTx-Mini consists of up to three components: the Main Board, the AdaptRBoard and the FlexEBoard. The Main Board is the heart of the IP engine and manages the conversion of imaging data to IP packets. The AdaptRBoard extends the capabilities of the Main Board, and the FlexEBoard is used to connect power, PLC signals and other functionality to the NTx-Mini (see datasheet for details). All components are available as reference designs for customized designs. For instance, customers can design their own AdaptRBoard in order to accommodate different PLC signal levels. Customers can also integrate their own logic into the NTx-Mini FPGA for a seamless, ultimate low-power solution using a single, shared FPGA.

The iPORT NTx-Mini is based on Pleora's award-winning in-camera technology that has been deployed in more than 130 GigE camera models around the world. Building on that field-proven sucess, the next-generation NTx-Mini offers additional value by taking a miniaturized and highly modular approach to in-camera GigE connectivity.
