interfaces, including the NI PCIe-8231 one-port
interface, the NI PCIe-8235 four-port interface, and the NI PXIe-8234
two-port interface. NI Vision Acquisition software is highly optimized for
these controllers and the resulting CPU usage for acquiring images from
them is extremely low. With their PCI Express-based interfaces, these
devices provide full GigE Vision bandwidth at every port, giving you the
bandwidth you need for your most demanding vision applications.

GigE Vision Image Acquisition
GigE Vision is a new interface standard for cameras that transmit images
over gigabit Ethernet. It provides an alternative for vision applications
requiring long cable distances or lower-cost cabling. While the cabling
is simpler, a separate cable is required to supply power to the camera.
NI Vision Acquisition software works with any gigabit Ethernet controller
but is highly optimized for Intel gigabit Ethernet controllers.
