Partnership Announced between Connect Tech and Basler Supporting Machine Vision with Embedded Hardware

Guelph, ON, December 13, 2016 – With the incredibly fast paced growth of embedded vision systems,

Connect Tech is excited to announce its partnership with Basler, a technology leader with over 25 years

of vision experience. This partnership will ensure joint customers of Basler vision devices along with

Connect Tech embedded GPU hardware platforms are guaranteed the support they need to quickly

develop and deploy their embedded vision systems.

Embedded vision applications are a perfect target for GPU processing. The combination of a Basler

embedded camera paired with one of the many embedded NVIDIA® GPU solutions from Connect Tech

will ease the design process. Connect Tech’s embedded solutions enable vision standards such as GigE

Vision and USB3 Vision when paired with Basler’s embedded cameras and accessories.

Connect Tech NVIDIA® Jetson™ TX1 solutions along with Connect Tech NVIDIA® GTX 950 and higher

series products are ideal embedded platforms for machine learning associated with the images captured

by a Basler camera module. “We find that one of the most frequent questions we get when supporting

our GPU audience is with respect to cameras,” states David Worthen, president and co-founder at

Connect Tech. “This partnership represents our commitment to ensuring quality, compatible hardware

solutions that are readily available off the shelf or customized.”
