Pleora Technologies launched the iPOrt GEV-TB external frame grabber, which converts GigE Vision 2.x camera output into a PCIe stream, transmitting video at up to 22.5Gbps with low, predictable latency over a standard Ethernet cable directly to a Thunderbolt 3/4 or USB4 (USB-C) port. By eliminating the need for a host PCIe slot or internal frame grabber, the solution enables direct connection of high-performance GigE Vision cameras to laptops, embedded PCs, industrial systems, and single-board computers. A built-in DMA engine transfers full image data directly to host memory. Full availability of the grabber will be in Q1, 2027. Future variants will include dual-channel configurations, as well as integrated IEEE 1588 and PoE/PoE+ support.
