Introduction

1.1 Overview

ADLINK's GIE64+ is a PCI Express
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.
Finally, the GIE64+ provides a SmartPoe API, allowing remote
on/off switching of PoE status via programming with no require-
ment for cable plug connection/disconnection.
