Matrox Imaging Library now features native support for USB3 Vision interface

Matrox Imaging has announced the availability of complete native support for the USB3 Vision camera interface standard inMatrox Imaging Library (MIL), which lets MIL users take advantage of USB3 Vision cameras in Windows 7 and Windows 8 imaging systems.

USB3 Vision provides bandwidth higher than 350 MB/s, a plug-and-play interface, and support for power and data up to five meters over a passive cable or even greater distances over anactive cable. Matrox Imaging Library’s support for the USB3 Vision interface meets AIA certification requirements and has been validated throughout its development with cameras fromBasler, Baumer, MATRIX VISION, Point Grey, Sentech, Toshiba Teli, and XIMEA.

"Our low-level implementation of the USB3 Vision standard in MIL maximizes the video transmission rate possible over SuperSpeed USB while imposing little CPU overhead. For example, we capture 2048x2048 8-bit monochrome images from aPoint Grey GRASSHOPPER3 camera at an impressive 90 fps," said Stéphane Maurice, director of software development at Matrox Imaging and vice-chair of the GenICam committee in a press release. "Our customers can now use MIL to seamlessly integrate USB3 Vision cameras into their high-performance imaging systems for factory automation, process control, electronics and pharmaceutical packaging, semiconductor inspection, robotics, radiology, microscopy, and video surveillance."

Support for the USB3 Vision interface is an update to MIL 10 and is now available for MIL registered users to download.
