This design enables the real-time delivery of high bandwidth streams of non-compressed imaging data to host PCs over CAT-5e and CAT 6 cables to distances of up to 100 meters without specialized interface hardware or frame grabbers. System integrators can select from models offering up to 90 frames-per-second and resolutions as high as 1600x1200 (UXGA). Housings for each camera are identical, measuring a compact 44mm x 29mm x 70mm (W x H x D) and utilizing C-mount lenses, allowing for easy integration and interchanges.
