Some boards from other manufacturers seem to use less power than Pleoras VB. Dont these boards have more impressive specs?
Many of our competitors can only claim lower power usage by excluding some vital features from the board design. Without these features, the camera will not operate properly. When these features are included, these boards and Pleoras PT1000-VB use approximately the same amount of power. According to publicly available information, most boards from our competitors use between 1.6 and 1.8 Watts. The second generation in-camera board from Pleora, the iPORT NTx-Mini, which will be introduced in early 2008, uses as little as 1.4 Watts at GigE rates. With the tight integration possible with the iPORT NTx-Mini, it is possible to deliver low-power solutions to market.
