Increasing demand for higher-bandwidth imaging across a range of established and emerging applications is driving the development of new technologies and solutions aimed at reducing processing requirements. This session will explore several of these innovative approaches to system and device design, including real-world application examples.

For existing deployments, new GigE Vision-to-Thunderbolt™ solutions expand platform options for system designers while optimizing CPU usage. By combining the cabling and multicasting benefits of GigE Vision, the efficiency of a PCIe frame grabber, and the plug-and-play convenience of Thunderbolt, these solutions enable the use of laptops, single-board computers, and embedded systems for high-bandwidth imaging.

In new device designs, Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) over Converged Ethernet v2 (RoCEv2) allows imaging data to be transferred directly from a camera or sensor to the host processor’s memory – bypassing the CPU, operating system (OS), and cache. RoCEv2 paves the way for Ethernet-based imaging solutions that support bandwidths of 50, 100, 200, and even 400 Gbps, without increasing receive-side latency.
