Pike The Pike is a fast IEEE 1394b camera for demanding applications. Numerous pre-
processing functions produce an outstanding image quality. Pike cameras oper-
ate with very high frame rates and offer much more real-time functions than
specified in the IIDC standards.
They can even emulate traditional frame grabber functions.
IEEE 1394b IEEE 1394b provides a plug & play interface standard with high-speed, deter-
ministic data transmission. The camera communication protocol is standard-
ized and can easily be integrated into your application
GOF Pike cameras are available both with two copper ports (for daisy-chaining) and
with copper/GOF (glass optical fiber) ports.
Advantages of GOF:
• 800 Mbit/s over 400 meters and more
• No additional repeaters required
• Transmission of light instead of electricity: No ground problems and no
interference with electromagnetic fields.
Image applications Allied Vision Technologies can provide users with a range of products that meet
almost all the requirements of a very wide range of image applications.
FireWire The industry standard IEEE 1394 (FireWire or i.Link) facilitates the simplest
computer compatibility and bidirectional data transfer using the plug & play
process. Further development of the IEEE 1394 standard has already made 800
Mbit/second possible. Investment in this standard is therefore secure for the
future; each further development takes into account compatibility with the pre-
ceding standard, and vice versa, meaning that IEEE 1394b is reverse-compati-
ble with IEEE 1394a. Your applications will grow as technical progress
advances.
