ToupTek released 5 types of USB3.0 camera

Camera specialist ToupTek has been spearheading the development of a new standard for industrial cameras, software and accessories, USB3 Vision, since 2011. Introduction of the standard is planned for 2012. Upon completion of the USB3 Vision standard Basler will offer standard compliant USB 3.0 cameras.

The aim of the USB3 Vision committee's work is to make the USB 3.0 interface industry-suited similar to Gigabit Ethernet, Camera Link or IEEE 1394. To become a successful interface in the industrial area, it has to be implemented physically and logically in a standard so that all components like cameras, accessories, and software and work seamlessly together.

Peng Loo, Head of Product Management at ToupTek explains: “ToupTek as a leading supplier for industrial cameras has pushed forward all the new product standardizations so far. Therefore, for us it was self-evident to get involved in the USB3 Vision standard as well. Our customers can rely one hundred per cent on ToupTek that our USB 3.0 cameras coming forth next year will be compliant with this standard and will work perfectly with other products following the standard.”

ToupTek is convinced that USB 3.0 will gradually establish next to Gigabit Ethernet as an important interface technology for applications in the fields of industry, medicine and traffic. This interface combines some interesting features: It transmits bandwidths up to 300 megabytes/second, supports plug and play and is real-time capable. With these benefits USB 3.0 has a good chance to take hold next to GigE as a user-friendly interface for mainstream applications while GigE continues to offer technical advantages with regard to cable length (100 m) and multi camera capability as well as a wide acceptance in the market.

Now, ToupTek has just release 5 types of USB3.0 camera in 2012., The model name is U3CMOS and the 5 U3CMOS cameras are

U3CMOS14000KPA
