GIE64+
1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
ADLINK's GIE64+ is a PCI Express® x4 lane, PoE (Power over
Ethernet) frame grabber with support for four independent Gigabit
Ethernet ports. Multiple Gigabit Ethernet Vision device connec-
tions are supported for standard Gigabit Ethernet Vision data
transfer rates of up to 1000 Mb/s.
The GIE64+ features not only PoE, combining power supply and
signal into a single cable, but also IEEE 1588 (precise time proto-
col), enabling synchronization with multi-camera acquisition.
The ADLINK GIE64+ also supports the Link aggregation control
protocol, offering inexpensive setup of a double-speed backbone
network for data transfers significantly exceeding those of a single
Gigabit Ethernet port or device.

1.3 Applications
The GIE64+ is ideally suited to frame grab functions in a wide vari-
ety of applications, including:
X Machine Vision Inspection systems
X Scientific research instrumentation
X Medical research instrumentation
