Industrial cameras are very important in modern automation and research. The new 10GigE industrial cameras are a big step forward in machine vision. These cameras use 10-gigabit Ethernet technology, which is faster than older interfaces. They can handle high-quality images at high speeds, making them very useful.

10GigE cameras have a transmission speed 10 times that of standard GigE cameras. This means the network must have the capability to process and transmit more than 10 times the data. To fully unleash the potential of 10GigE cameras, a network supporting 10Gb/s is required. However, it should be noted that the maximum bandwidth in an Ethernet network is constrained by the slowest component in the entire network, such as routers, switches, low-bandwidth network cables, low-end network interface cards (NICs), or the camera itself. Therefore, if you want to ensure the entire network can operate at high speed, please confirm that all devices support the 10GigE standard to maximize the system's performance. In the existing IEEE 802.3 standard, there is an "Auto-negotiation" function, which can actively negotiate with other devices and wait for the peer to return the negotiation result. It can not only negotiate the working speed of both ends (10M, 100M, or 1000M) but also the duplex mode (half-duplex or full-duplex). In other words, the NIC and switch inform each other of their supported working modes, including network speed and duplex status, and then automatically select the optimal working state. Therefore, 10GigE cameras can operate not only in standard GigE networks but also in NBASE-T networks with 2.5 and 5Gb/s speeds.

10GigE cameras can support all pixel formats supported by GigE cameras, as they both fall within the GenICam standard. They can support monochrome, color RGB, and 4-channel RGB+alpha video streams (RGB8a). The GigE Vision standard can handle the same range of pixel formats and bit depths as traditional camera links and USB cameras. Additionally, the GigE Vision standard supports multi-video streaming, allowing two or more parallel video streams to be transmitted using the same interface. Currently, the challenge of multi-video streaming lies in the software aspect, namely how to receive and arrange two or more parallel streams in the correct order. In the near future, multi-video streaming is likely to become another important image acquisition function.

At present, more than 90% of data servers are using 10GigE standard networks, which are adopted by international giants like Google and IBM for applications such as virtualization, video streaming, communication, and data storage. It has become a universal standard applicable to the machine vision industry. Generally, users' doubts about reliability stem from their cognition and usage habits of GigE networks, namely the potential for packet loss. This situation usually occurs due to the low performance of hardware cache components in switches or routers, leading to temporary overflow of the network interface card (NIC). Therefore, to ensure the high-reliability operation of 10GigE networks, it is optimal to simultaneously optimize the CPU, memory bandwidth, PCIe slot configuration, and NIC hardware configuration.
