Introduction
This application note provides a practical overview of deploying 20 Triton10 10GigE cameras streaming concurrently to a single host using RDMA for GPU-based image processing. It covers two validated host configurations: Option 1, a discrete GPU workstation, and Option 2, an NVIDIA DGX Spark system. The guide details hardware selection, network topology, VLAN segmentation, host configuration, and camera IP management using the Arena SDK. These configurations support sustained full-frame acquisition with minimal CPU load for inspection, metrology, and real-time image processing.
LUCID showcased a 20 x Triton10 10GigE camera demo at VISION 2026 using the DGX Spark (Option 2 instructions below). This reference design is based on current customer applications that utilized multiple 10GigE cameras, RDMA, PTP, GPUDirect, and eTrigger.
