May 2, 2013 - Teledyne DALSA announced unveiled the Xtium-CL PX4 frame grabber,which meets the ever-increasing image resolution and faster frame rates of today’s camera technology.. The Xtium series delivers higher bandwidth to sustain Camera Link 80-Bit modes over longer cable distances and supports a wide variety of area and line scan color and monochrome cameras, all in a compact, single slot solution.
Its on-board Data Transfer Engine (DTE) produces maximum bandwidth without the need for specialized motherboards or chipsets. By enabling maximum sustained throughput and ready-to-use image data, the Xtium–CL PX4 minimizes CPU usage and improves processing times for host applications. In addition, the Xtium-CL PX4 has been engineered with enhanced memory architecture allowing it to handle different sensor tap topologies while sustaining color decoding at the maximum frame/line rate.
Key Features of the Xtium-CL PX4
- Supports PCI Express Rev 2.0 x4 or higher, backwards compatible with PCIe Rev 1.10 slots
- Camera Link Rev 2.0 (Base PoCL, Medium or Full PoCL cameras)
- Delivers 2x performance on host transfers
- Up to 512MB of high-speed image memory
- Single slot solution with reconfigurable camera control and general purpose input/outputs
- Supported by field proven Sapera Vision SDK and Sapera CamExpert utility
- Free Sapera Standard tools run-time license includes advanced image processing and analysis functions
- Supports Microsoft Windows 7, Windows 8 32/64-bit and WOW64 ready
“The Xtium series has been engineered to meet the emerging demands of high speed, high bandwidth cameras,” said Inder Kohli, Teledyne DALSA Product Manager. “We have designed a compact, flexible image acquisition and processing platform that supports multiple interfaces and delivers two times the sustained host transfer bandwidth across extended cable lengths.”
