Joachim Linkemann is a Senior Product Manager at Basler AG in Ahrensburg, Germany. Born in Munich and raised near Siegen, he earned his Diploma degree in Physics at the University of Siegen and his PhD in Atomic Physics from the University of Stuttgart. He spent his post-doc time at the Max-Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics MPI-K in Heidelberg doing research on ionization and recombination of highly charged ions. In 1997, he joined Basler AG as an optical engineer, designing lenses and lighting for machine vision applications. He changed to product management in 2002 to take care for most of the camera products in Basler’s portfolio. Today, he manages customizations of cameras worldwide.
Abstract
Over the past 15 years, various interfaces on digital industrial cameras have been available on the market. This tutorial will give an overview of interfaces such as LVDS (RS644), Channel Link and Camera Link. In addition, other interfaces such as FireWire, Gigabit Ethernet, and now USB 3.0 have become more popular. Owing to their ease of use, these interfaces cover most of the market. Nevertheless, for certain applications and especially for higher bandwidths, Camera Link and CoaXPress are very useful. This tutorial will give a description of the advantages and disadvantages, comment on bandwidths, and provide recommendations on when to use which interface.
