iPORT NTx-U3 Embedded Video Interface

Pleora’s iPORT™ NTx-U3 Embedded Video Interface hardware provides a straightforward way to integrate USB 3.0 video connectivity into cameras and imaging systems.

The embedded hardware converts video data to packets at throughputs up to 3 Gbps. The packetized video is sent with low, consistent latency over a USB 3.0 link to receiving software. The iPORT NTx-U3 is supported by Pleora’s feature-rich eBUS™ SDK application tool kit. With this software suite, designers can rapidly prototype and deploy production-ready software to support video transmission over GigE, 10 GigE, and USB 3.0 using the same application programming interface (API).

Key Features:

• Compact and low power, easily embedded in small-body cameras and imaging systems
• Throughput of up to 3 Gbps
• Up to 32-bit, 120 MHz parallel LVTTL/LVCMOS video input, and 4 interleaved taps
• Line scan and area scan modes
• 120 MB frame buffer to accommodate multi-mega pixel sensor sizes
• GenICam Integration Package (consisting of the iPORT AutoGen XML generation tool and a firmware reference design) makes it fast and easy to create a user-friendly GenICam interface (contact sales for pricing information on this integration package)
• Support USB-powered or external-powered options
• Updateable firmware via the USB 3.0 port for ease of manufacturing and feature upgrades in the field
