10GigE support with the Data Aquisition Toolbox

GigE vision is supported with the image aquisition toolbox. However, some new cameras on the market are now using the 10GigE interface. My question is: can I interface with a camera using the 10GigE interface using MATLAB's data aquisition toolbox?

Hi Jason,

The MATLAB Data Acquisition Toolbox follows a device dependent hardware support systems. Here is a list of hardware devices currently supported by the Data Acquisition Toolbox. If the camera you plan on using to acquire data is in this list, then it is supported by the DAQ Toolbox.

However if you wish to capture images using a specific camera with the Image Acquisition Toolbox, then you may wish to look into other different supported standards. If you can provide me with the specific camera model that you wish to use the 10GigE interface with, I can take a closer look into your issue.

Hi Brian,

Thank you for the reply. The camera model is the Oryx 5.0 MP Mono made by FLIR (formerly Point Grey).

I have seen on the mathworks site that Point Grey cameras using the GigE interface are supported with the image acquisition toolbox (https://www.mathworks.com/hardware-support/point-grey-camera.html). However, I can't find anything about this specific model camera or the 10GigE interface.

Hi Jason,

Thank you for the information. Like you said, the Oryx camera appears to fall under the GigE Vision 1.2 standard that is supported by the MATLAB Image Acquisition Toolbox. Unfortunately, we do not have one of these cameras in house to physically test and verify whether this specific device is supported, therefore, I cannot guarantee that the camera will be compatible.

If you do decide to go through with using this camera, I am interested in hearing more about your results with regards to interfacing with 10GigE if you have some time to share.

There is a very high likelihood that we will purchase this camera in the near future so I will keep this updated after I attempt to interface with the camera using matlab.
