SHOW RECAP | VISION 2026 | Stuttgart, DE

We showed HYPERION and STRATOS 200GigE cameras, AEOLUS H.265 compression cameras, new Sony sensors in BOLT and ZENITH, and faster line-scan models across 10, 25 and 100GigE. Nine live demos put them to work. Explore the highlights from our stand below.

NEW PRODUCTS

We introduced HYPERION and STRATOS, the world’s first 200GigE area-scan and line-scan camera platforms, streaming 200 gigabits a second over QSFP56. Both are GigE Vision 3.0 / RDMA compliant, as are all Emergent cameras.

NEW PRODUCTS

AEOLUS compression cameras provide on-camera H.265 compression, which reduces data rates from 25 gigabits per second to 10 or less. This means you get 25GigE resolution and frame rates, but at lower data rates and much lower resulting file sizes.

RJ45 PoE connectivity auto-negotiates to 10, 5, 2.5 or 1GigE, making AEOLUS flexible for different network speeds.

By dramatically reducing bandwidth and storage requirements, AEOLUS enables direct-to-cloud workflows for sports analytics, volumetric capture and other multi-camera applications.

LAUNCHED AT VISION 2026

New Sony sensors are pushing to higher resolutions and framerates in both our BOLT 25GigE and ZENITH 100GigE cameras. Sensors in the IMX92X, IMX93X and IMX94X families provide resolutions ranging from 12-105 MP and from 113-811fps (100GigE) or 29-243fps (25GigE). That means speed and resolution without compromises, supported by Emergent’s leading system architecture and mature high-speed driver ecosystem.

New line-scan cameras at 10GigE, 25GigE and 100GigE are pushing performance across a wide range of resolutions and line rates. These are some of the new model highlights:

• EROS 10GigE LE-4KG35:  4K | 84 kHz
• PINNACLE 100GigE LZT-8KG5: 8K 256 TDI | 1 MHz
• PINNACLE 100GigE LZT-16KG5: 16K 256 TDI | 500 kHz

Expanded lens compatibility gives system designers flexibility across a wide range of imaging applications. Support for Canon RF and Micro Four Thirds lenses enables compact, high-performance configurations, and both lens integrations add software control of focus, zoom and iris for applications that benefit from remote adjustment and automated setup.

The demonstrations combined Emergent cameras with our eCapture Pro and eSDK Pro software, high-performance network interface cards and technologies including GigE Vision 3.0, RDMA / RoCEv2, zero-copy image transfer and NVIDIA GPUDirect.

DEMO 01

Thirty-six cameras are synchronized to 1µs using PTP to capture visitors for highly realistic, real-time 4D Gaussian Splatting (4DGS), combining high-resolution volumetric video with synchronized audio. The demo shows the architecture required to handle 36 simultaneous 10GigE streams.

DEMO 02

A deep-learning model performs markerless motion capture from high-resolution, high-framerate video, tracking human movement without wearable markers. The demo also highlights the latest Sony Pregius S sensors now spanning ZENITH 100GigE and new BOLT 25GigE cameras.

DEMO 03

Seven BOLT 25GigE cameras undergo post-capture compression, while the new AEOLUS  compression cam performs H.265 encoding at the edge. Because compression happens at the source, that stream requires far less bandwidth, processing and storage.

DEMO 04

Four cameras image the same moving test pattern to compare line-scan performance at 10GigE, 25GigE and 100GigE—all operating on GigE Vision 3.0 / RDMA. The 100GigE TDI camera also demonstrates 64-stage TDI imaging without dedicated illumination.

DEMO 05

Eight cameras feed a deep-learning segmentation pipeline that detects, counts and classifies people, then follows their full-body movement through the scene. FlexProc and FlexTrans distribute processing and move image data efficiently between GPUs and servers using zero-copy and NVIDIA GPUDirect.

DEMO 06

Ultra-compact EROS cameras bring 10GigE capability to the 29 × 29 mm form factor traditionally associated with slower Ethernet cameras. Here, both automatically negotiate to the NVIDIA Orin Super’s 1GigE connection while running live brightness-adjustment plug-ins—then can scale to full 10GigE when more bandwidth is available.

DEMO 07

An AI anomaly-detection plug-in identifies flawed PCBs moving at high speed, while a second plug-in controls a laser that illuminates the defective PCB for easy identification on screen. The demo shows how multiple acquisition, processing and device-control functions can be combined in one drag-and-drop eCapture Pro workflow.

DEMO 08

Sixteen cameras are synchronized to 1µs using PTP to capture a subject from multiple viewpoints. A detailed 3D facial profile in created in Lichtfeld Studio open source Gaussian splatting software. The captured video can be used in third-party software for animation and visual effects, as well as medical imaging.

DEMO 09

Two cameras perform real-time blister-pack inspection using an AI anomaly detection model, which displays a percentage indicating its confidence in whether the inspected pills are a pass or fail.
