PORT COQUITLAM, BC, Canada, Aug. 26, 2025 – Emergent Vision Technologies is announcing that all models of the EROS 10GigE camera series are now officially shipping. Originally launched in December 2024, EROS is the smallest, lowest power 10GigE camera in the world. “Thirty-nine new cameras across color, mono, SWIR , polarized and UV sensors are now available for our customers to innovate with,” said John Ilett, president and founder of Emergent.
“EROS is for the existing 10GigE users who want to modernize, as well as an entry point for those just beginning to need the speed and resolution provided by 10GigE cameras.” “Best of all, EROS delivers this performance at a price more commonly seen with 2.5 or 5GigE cameras. This opens the door to many applications that were previously limited by not only GigE Vision camera performance, but cost, heat generation, or space requirements,” added Ilett. Multi-camera applications were the focus of EROS’ development.
Machine vision applications across several industries call for multiple cameras generating high-speed, high-resolution imagery in real-time, such as sports broadcasting, manufacturing inspection, volumetric capture/VR applications, and AI-powered computer vision and deep learning. Multi-camera applications using EROS can be built in Windows or Linux systems—it uniquely supports both—using Emergent’s eCapture Pro or eSDK Pro software. Both applications use NVIDIA’s GPUDirect to send the data directly to the GPU memory, without copies and without latency.
In multi-camera setups, this allows computationally intensive processes such as real-time compression via H.264/H.265 to be mapped directly to the GPU efficiently, with low loss and without detours. Key data about the EROS 10GigE Camera Series:
Compact
Each EROS camera measures just 29 x 29mm. Engineers can replace existing 1, 2.5, and 5GigE cameras with no mechanical changes.
Energy-efficient
EROS 10GigE cameras only use 4.8 W via RJ45 PoE, 4 W via RJ45 with no PoE, and just 3 W over SFP+ fiber. This is lower than many popular 2.5 and 5GigE cameras.
Flexible interfaces
Native support for 10GigE with auto negotiation down to 5, 2.5, and 1GigE. EROS adjusts automatically to network speed.
Compliant
Certified to the GigE Vision 3.0 and RDMA standards.
Advanced sensors for speed and resolution
Gen 4 Sony Pregius S CMOS sensors deliver resolutions from 0.5 MP up to 24.5 MP, powering frame rates as high as 711 fps.
Proven multi-camera capability
The compact, low-power design of EROS makes it ideal for dense, multi-camera deployments. With synchronization accuracy down to 1 µs and support for dozens of cameras in a system, EROS enables engineers to build robust multi-camera systems.
