What is USB 3.0?

What is USB 3.0?

USB 3.0 is the second major revision of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) standard for computer connectivity. USB 3.0 has transmission speeds of up to 5 Gbit/s, which is 10 times faster than USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/s) before taking into account that USB 3.0 is full duplex whereas USB 2.0 is half duplex, giving USB 3.0 the potential total bandwidth if utilized both ways to 20 times that of USB 2.0. Transfer speed – Added a new transfer type called Super Speed or SS – 5 Gbit/s (electrically it is more similar to PCIe Gen2 and SATA than USB 2.0)<3> Increased bandwidth – Instead of one-way communication, USB 3.0 uses two unidirectional data paths: one to receive data and the other to transmit Power management – U0 through U3 link power management states are defined Improved bus utilization – a new feature is added (using packets NRDY and ERDY) to let a device asynchronously notify the host of its readiness (no need of polling) Support to rotating media – Bulk protocol is updated with a new feature called Stream Protocol that allows a large number of logical streams within an Endpoint Comparing USB Types See our line of OEM USB 3.0 Cameras http://www.oemcameras.com/enclosed-cameras/enclosed-digital-usb-3-cameras For more in-depth information on USB 3.0 see our sources below: http://blog.macsales.com/14399-usb-3-0-brings-a-newish-plug http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_3.0
Five 3D Cameras Capture Panoramic Images of World Sites For Future Generations

Five 3D Cameras Capture Panoramic Images of World Sites For Future Generations

Image capture technology has come a long way in recent years such as 3D cameras. They are now more powerful, affordable, and smaller than ever before. Panasonic has collaborated with UNESCO to photograph panoramic views of seven heritage sites around the world. “The purpose of these images is to allow people to have an experience like they’d have if they went to these sites in person.” The five 3D cameras stitch together a scene displayed on five HD plasma display panel, immersing the viewer in a rich and vibrant environment. As Panasonic’s panoramic imaging system advances, the use of a 3D panoramic system may be capturing other events around the world such as future Olympic games, art museums, and space exploration for future generations to experience. One step closer to the Holodeck :)

DARPA creates 1.8 Gigapixel Drone Camera; 368 high resolution image sensors combined

DARPA creates 1.8 Gigapixel Drone Camera; 368 high resolution image sensors combined

Everyone carries around compact technology these days. iPads, iPhones, Android devices, the list goes on. But what if some of those components were combined for a much larger purpose? DARPA has accomplished exactly that. They’ve developed a new system called ARGUS built from an array of 368 image sensors forming 1.8 billion pixels, it is the world’s highest resolution camera. ARGUS is a unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) / drone add-on. Since most of ARGUS’ components and designs are classified, we only get a peek at the enclosure. However, they show is an image taken from 17,500 feet in the air of a medium sized city that covers about 15 miles around, and even from that height, DARPA can digitally zoom in and see birds, people waving, walking, driving, etc. A million terabytes can be recorded in one day using ARGUS, which is the equivalent of 5,000 hours of high definition footage. With technology like this, it may not be long before UAVs are commonly seen flying through the air. Source: The Atlantic
