See Emergent Machine Vision Cameras and Technologies at UKIVA MVC 2024
See firsthand the latest developments in our award-winning line of high-speed machine vision cameras and imaging technologies in Booth F1 at the UKIVA Machine Vision Conference (MVC), June 18–19, 2024. At the event in Coventry, UK, attendees can see and learn about Emergent’s zero-data-loss imaging technologies, including GigE Vision cameras, software, and network interface cards. Below is a look at the different products and technologies attendees can learn about while visiting the Emergent Vision Technologies booth at UKIVA MVC 2024.
5GigE and SWIR Cameras
The latest addition to our lineup of GigE Vision cameras, Eros 5GigE cameras offer versatility and affordability to the high-speed imaging market. The cameras support 5GigE, 2.5GigE, and 1GigE through auto-negotiation and feature many of the same Sony 4th generation Pregius S CMOS image sensors offered in our 10GigE and 25GigE cameras. The Eros series also features SWIR cameras, with the HE-300-S-I, HE-1300-S-I, HE-3200-S-I, and HE-5300-S-I incorporating Sony’s SenSWIR CMOS image sensors, which are capable of capturing images in the 400 to 1700 nm range.
In addition, the Eros family includes models featuring Sony Polarsens polarized CMOS image sensor technology, which allows for enhanced surface inspection, particularly useful in detecting defects on shiny or reflective surfaces. These include the HE-5000-S-PM and the HE-12000-S-PM polarization cameras.
While offering lower speeds, lower costs, and smaller sizes, Eros cameras still support an optimized GigE Vision Stream Protocol (GVSP) approach, meaning that — like all other Emergent cameras — Eros cameras deliver zero-copy image transfer and zero-data-loss imaging capabilities, which ensures efficient image transfer with minimal CPU overhead — something that’s crucial for multi-camera systems and real-time processing.

Turnkey Multi-Camera Systems Available Now
Beyond just high-speed cameras, Emergent can design, integrate, and ship turnkey high-performance, high-speed imaging systems consisting of multiple GigE Vision cameras, multiple servers, GPUs, FPGA cards, SSDs, switches, and more — all designed to custom specification. These systems can target general deployment in the field or the testing and prototyping of custom GPU algorithms such as AI/inference, pattern matching, 3D reconstruction, Gaussian splatting, H.265, and more. Users can also work with saved images from software such as NeRF (neural radiance fields), RealityCapture, Theia Markerless, and Agisoft for applications in volumetric capture, metaverse, and motion capture. For completely custom solutions, users can deploy our eSDK with all the same performance benefits.
In one recent system, three servers and 48 Bolt HB-25000-SB-C 25GigE cameras (25 MP, 60 fps) recorded and saved 200 Gbps (25 GB) per server for a total of 600 Gbps (75 GB) across all three servers with zero data loss. The cameras were synchronized to sub 1µs through IEEE 1588 PTP v2, and with Emergent’s eCapture Pro software, users can simply connect the cables, power up, and run the software. In just a few clicks, your data comes to life. Check out the video above to see the initial software experience and visit us in the booth to discuss how we can serve your multi-camera-system needs.
10GigE, 25GigE, and 100GigE Area Scan Cameras
Since Emergent became the first company to launch a 10GigE camera in 2010, the company has gone on to become the leader in high-speed imaging, having also introduced the first 25GigE and 100GigE cameras along the way. Throughout the course of the company’s history, it has responded to an evolving marketplace by releasing 10GigE, 25GigE, and 100GigE cameras designed to suit a wide range of high-speed imaging applications, including virtual reality, augmented reality, metaverse, machine vision, and sports and entertainment technology applications.
In the company’s 10GigE HR series, cameras leveraging the latest Sony and ams sensors range from 0.5 MP to 50 MP, with frame rates reaching 1586 fps. Models include monochrome, color, near infrared, polarized, and UV options for a wide range of applications.
In the 25GigE Bolt series, cameras based on Sony, Gpixel, and ams CMOS sensors range from 0.5 MP to 127.7 MP, with frame rates reaching 1594.7 fps. Bolt cameras also offer color, monochrome, and UV options.
For applications where ultra-high speeds or resolution may be required, Zenith 100GigE cameras leverage a high-speed 100GigE QSFP28 interface to deliver frame rates up to 3462 fps. Models range from 2.5 MP to 100 MP+, with speeds that eclipse 3462 fps. Zenith cameras are offered in color and monochrome models.
10GigE, 25GigE, and 100GigE Line Scan Cameras
Emergent also offers 10GigE, 25GigE, and 100GigE line scan cameras in its Pace, Accel, and Pinnacle series. Also offering zero-copy and zero-data-loss imaging capabilities, cameras include the LR-4KG35 10GigE line scan camera, capable of reaching speeds of 172 kHz, and the LZ-16KG5 100GigE line scan camera, which achieves a rapid 400 kHz. In addition, Emergent offers three time delay integration (TDI) line scan cameras, including the 10GigE TLR-9KG5, 25GigE TLB-9KG5-M and the 100GigE TLZ-9KG5-M, all of which feature Gpixel’s 9K 256 TDI GLT5009BSI CMOS sensor.
eCapture Pro Software, Now With GPUDirect Technology
Our eCapture Pro recording and reconstruction software provides end users with a graphic interface for easy system integration, with no software coding or system design knowledge needed. A 2022 NAB Product of the Year winner in the Camera Support, Control, and Accessories category, eCapture Pro also offers complete project management, camera setting flexibility, advanced preview and recording capabilities, synchronized capture to microsecond accuracy, and calibration, background, and production take management capabilities.
eCapture Pro software also offers a plug-in for GPUDirect functionality, which allows users to get images directly from the camera onto a GPU with zero-copy and zero-loss technology. In addition to offering users the ability to develop custom plug-ins, eCapture Pro offers plug-ins for polarization, deep learning inference, pattern matching, H.265 and RTMP, and SSD recording. A recent webinar highlighted the technology:
- Polarization plug-in: A single 10GigE polarized camera using GPUDirect technology on an RTX A6000 GPU
- Deep learning inference plug-in: An Emergent GigE Vision camera detects and classifies cups in a scene while the software tracks objects in motion.
