What is a 25GigE industrial camera?

A 25GigE industrial camera uses a 25 Gigabit Ethernet interface to deliver ultra-high data throughput of up to 25 Gbps for machine vision applications. Compared to 1, 2.5, 5, and 10GigE interfaces, 25GigE cameras provide higher frame rates, lower latency, and scalable multi-camera performance using standard optical network switches and 25GigE NICs.

Why choose the Atlas25 25GigE camera for industrial imaging?

The Atlas25 combines Sony Pregius S CMOS sensors with a 25GigE RDMA (RoCE v2) interface to deliver high-speed, low-latency imaging with minimal CPU load. Its compact thermomechanical case enables fanless operation from -20°C to 50°C, while active sensor alignment ensures precise image quality across the entire frame.

How does RDMA improve 25GigE camera performance?

RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) enables data from the 25GigE camera to transfer directly into system memory without CPU intervention. This reduces latency, eliminates CPU bottlenecks, and allows multiple cameras to stream simultaneously at full bandwidth with stable, deterministic performance.

What are the advantages of a fanless thermomechanical camera design?

The Atlas25’s fanless thermomechanical case design dissipates heat efficiently without external heatsinks or moving parts. This ensures reliable 24/7 operation, reduced maintenance, silent performance, and longer camera lifespan in industrial environments with limited space or airflow.

How is the Atlas25 different from other GigE Vision cameras?

While most GigE Vision cameras operate at 1–10 Gigabit speeds, the Atlas25 supports 25GigE with full GigE Vision 3.0 and RoCE v2 compatibility. It integrates a high-performance optical transceiver for direct LC duplex multimode fiber connection, eliminating external SFP modules and simplifying system setup.

Which Sony sensors are supported by the Atlas25 camera series?

The Atlas25 series supports Sony’s 4th generation Pregius S global shutter CMOS sensors, including IMX530 (24.5 MP), IMX531 (20.4 MP), IMX532 (16.2 MP), and IMX535 (12.3 MP). These sensors deliver excellent dynamic range, low noise, and high frame rates up to 184 FPS depending on the model.

How do I connect the Atlas25 25GigE camera?

The Atlas25 integrates an optical transceiver, allowing direct connection via a dual LC multimode fiber cable to a 25GigE network card or optical switch. No external SFP module is required, simplifying installation and reducing cost and power consumption.

Is the Atlas25 compatible with existing GigE Vision systems?

Yes. The Atlas25 is fully compliant with the GigE Vision 3.0 standard and can be integrated into existing GigE-based systems that support 25GigE and RDMA (RoCE v2). It is compatible with third-party software, frame grabbers, and network hardware adhering to the standard.

What is Active Sensor Alignment and why is it important?

Active Sensor Alignment is a precision assembly process used on all Atlas25 cameras to align the image sensor’s optical axis to the lens mount. This minimizes sensor tilt and rotation, ensuring sharp, geometrically accurate images across the full sensor area — critical for metrology and 3D vision applications.

What I/O and control options does the Atlas25 provide?

The Atlas25 features a 17-pin GPIO port with isolated and non-isolated I/O, RS-422 differential inputs for encoder feedback, and power input options for triggering, strobing, and motor control. These interfaces enable precise synchronization and integration with robotics and automation equipment.

Active Sensor Alignment

Active Sensor Alignment for Triton Camera

Minor discrepancies in sensor tilt and rotation can have a negative impact on imaging, especially if there are sensor alignment differences between camera units. That is why all Atlas25 cameras are actively aligned to minimize sensor tilt and rotation, and to place the center of the image sensor at the lens optical axis. The result is a precisely attached large format sensor that is aligned to the lens mount so that images are sharp and crisp, even in the corners. Learn more about our Active Sensor Alignment process in our tech brief.
