Industrial imaging applications fall under three target markets: security and surveillance, smart cameras and machine vision and industrial displays. These three applications typically move large amounts of video data from a camera to a processing unit or a display. Many applications also need to provide a small amount of control information from the display or the processing unit back to the camera. Ideally, customers would like to have a simplified interface to carry the video signals over long reaches of inexpensive cable. Therefore, customers also value a rugged device that can tolerate high ESD and that work over a broader industrial temperature range.
