USB 3.0 Adoption

• “USB is the most successful interface in the history of the PC” 3+ billion units/year Near 100% adoption

• Likely 100+ million USB 3.0 controllers shipped to date

• Native USB 3.0 support integrated in latest Intel & AMD chipsets

• Windows 8 has out-of-the-box support

What it means

• Plug & Play It just works, no

configuration or multiple vendor software needed

• GenICam Standard and Vendor-

specific Camera features automatically available

• Zero-copy Image transfers Direct acquisition of image

data into host memory with no CPU usage

• Special thanks to the voting members of the Technical Committee who worked so hard:
