Hikrobot MV-GE1004

GigE channel capacity and use

Four independent GigE camera channels with PoE make MV-GE1004 a host acquisition card for multi-camera Ethernet imaging. Each RJ45 port runs at 1 Gbit/s and can supply up to 15 W, while 1 GB DDR3-RAM buffers traffic before PCI-E gen2 × 4 transfer. The host path is rated at 1720 MB/s maximum and 1600 MB/s sustained bandwidth, leaving a defined path for concurrent streams from as many as four cameras.

This layout fits inspection cells that place several GigE views around one object and bring them into a single computer. PoE can combine each camera's network data and power connection, with an ATX 6-pin feed required for that function. The 24 available machine-I/O connections include opto-isolated inputs and outputs, RX422 and TX422, and TTL inputs and outputs, enabling image capture to follow sensors, encoders or controller events.

MV-GE1004 carries twice the sustained host bandwidth of MV-GE1104 and MV-GE1104P: 1600 MB/s rather than 800 MB/s. MV-GE1104 uses four 1 Gbit/s RJ45 ports on PCI-E gen2 × 4, while MV-GE1104P uses gen2 × 2 and explicitly provides 15.4 W PoE per channel. Choose MV-GE1004 when the 1 GB buffer, 1600 MB/s path or expanded I/O set is material; use the GE1104 variants for an 800 MB/s four-port installation.

Selection and applications

Four-camera GigE acquisition. PoE-powered multi-view inspection. Isolated event-driven capture.

Minimum kit: Install MV-GE1004 in a PCI-E gen2 × 4 host, connect up to four GigE cameras with RJ45 network cables, and add the ATX 6-pin feed when using up to 15 W of PoE on each channel.

Nearby in the range: MV-GE1104 — Prefer it for four 1 Gbit/s ports when 800 MB/s host transfer covers the streams; MV-GE1104P — Prefer it for four PoE ports on a PCI-E gen2 × 2 interconnect; MV-GE2204P — Prefer it for four PoE ports, 9.5 KB jumbo frames and 3 W board consumption.

FAQ

How many GigE cameras can the MV-GE1004 acquire concurrently?

MV-GE1004 has four RJ45 camera interfaces and supports a maximum of four cameras. Each connection is rated at 1 Gbit/s, while the board-to-host path sustains 1600 MB/s over PCI-E gen2 × 4.

What camera power does each MV-GE1004 port provide?

PoE can supply as much as 15 W on every channel. The board requires an ATX 6-pin power connection when PoE is used, so the host build must include that feed as well as the PCI-E gen2 × 4 slot.

How large is the on-board acquisition buffer in MV-GE1004?

The board includes 1 GB of DDR3-RAM. Its host transfer figures are 1720 MB/s maximum and 1600 MB/s sustained, providing buffered transfer for traffic arriving from the four 1 Gbit/s camera ports.

Which electrical I/O types are exposed by MV-GE1004?

There are 24 I/O connections: four opto-isolated inputs, four opto-isolated outputs, four RX422 inputs, four TX422 outputs, four TTL inputs and four TTL outputs. The isolated groups accept 4.5 V DC to 28 V DC.

What operating environment is listed for MV-GE1004?

The working range is 0 to 60 °C with 10% RH to 95% RH and no condensation; storage extends from -20 to 70 °C. Host support covers Windows 7/10/11 and Ubuntu 16.04 through 20.04 on Linux.

How does MV-GE1004 differ from the MV-GE1104P board?

Both have four RJ45 ports with 1 Gbit/s camera links. MV-GE1004 sustains 1600 MB/s and supplies up to 15 W per PoE channel; MV-GE1104P sustains 800 MB/s, supplies 15.4 W and uses PCI-E gen2 × 2.
