(AIA: Ann Arbor, MI) -- A new camera interface standard that is based on the USB 3.0 interface (SuperSpeed USB) is being developed specifically for the global machine vision market. Called USB3 Vision, this new standard will take advantage of the soon-to-be prevalent USB 3.0 ports that will be standard on most PCs. Designed to give users plug-and-play capability using components from different manufacturers, USB3 Vision offers bandwidth of 3.2 Gb/s with both power and data over the same passive cable to five meters length or over active cable to 10 meters or more. Hosted by the Automated Imaging Association (AIA), the global trade association for the vision and imaging industry, the standard is targeted for release in 2012.
