About the New USB3 Cameras

What's the Difference

The operation of your Eagle Eye Timing System remains the same regardless if using a legacy Ethernet camera or the new USB3 VISION Camera.

The differences are listed below.

Connectivity
The new USB3 camera platform is considered plug-n-play. Plug the camera in and select your grabber per usual and you will connect.

Ethernet camera on the other had require proper NIC settings, jumbo frames set to 9K.

Power Source
USB3 cameras receive power via the USB cable plugged into the timing computer (no power source required). Ethernet camera need a dedicated power source/cable unless using a powered Gigabit Ethernet PoE switch

Performance
USB3 camera's can achieve 6,000fps in line scan mode and 500+fps in video mode - nearly doubling the frame rate of Ethernet cameras.

Different Cables
USB3 cameras must use specific USB camara cables and are unable to connect to Ethernet cables.

Networking
You can connect several USB3 timing cameras via a USB Hub. Multiple Ethernet cameras must use a Ethernet to USB adapter or a Poe Gigabit Ethernet switch.

Can you Mix-n-Match

Yes. As long as each camera type is using it's appropriate cable type, your Eagle Eye timing software can connect.

Do I Need to Change or Upgrade Anything

No you don't. The operation of your Eagle Eye Timing System has not changed.

Using the new USB3 camera is optional and not required.

Can I Combine (what I have now) with the a new USB Camera(s)

Yes. As long as each camera type is using it's appropriate cable type, your Eagle Eye timing software can connect.

What About Cable Differences

The new USB3 VISION camera does require is USB cable and is unable to connect to Ethernet cables (cat5 or cat6).

USB3 camera come with a 3' screw on cable. This cable then connects to a USB extension cable of either 50', 75' or 328'.

USB3 cameras draw their power from the computer via the USB cable - up to 75 feet.

Cables runs longer than 75 feet will need a power cable (near the computer). Eagle Eye offers a custom 328 foot cable that comes with its own power cable.
