Components of the GigE uEye HE camera
The GigE uEye HE cameras have a modular structure consisting of the following components:
· Gigabit Ethernet board, including:
§ a Gigabit Ethernet interface which controls data traffic between the camera and the host PC
§ an FPGA which controls the camera functions and performs basic image preprocessing
§ a 64-Mbyte memory used for processing image data
· Sensor board. This board includes:
§ the sensor
§ an EEPROM where the camera type is stored
· Timing board (CCD cameras only)
§ The timing board digitizes the analog output signals of the CCD sensor.
