About: BitFlow Cyton CXP2 Frame Grabber CYT-PC2-CXP2

The BitFlow Cyton CXP2 Frame Grabber sophisticated DMA engine to handle the demands of new camera interface standards. CXP cameras will soon be able to put out streams of random sized ROIs, something our previous generation DMA engine was not capable of. The CYT-PC2-CXP2 is the foundation for today and tomorrow’s frame grabbers, whether it’s CoaXPress or whatever new standards emerge from the Machine Vision industry.

Features

Half-Size x8 PCI Gen 3.0 Express Board
CoaXPress 1.1 compliant (supports 1.0 and 1.1. cameras)
Supports one or two CXP-6 cameras
Supports multi-link CXP-6 cameras (up to two CXP links)
Supports CXP speeds from 1.250 to 6.250 Gb/S
Supports simultaneous capture from four 6.250 Gb/S CXP links
Provides one CXP-6 uplink to the camera (bulk data uploads, zero latency triggers)
Low speed uplink also supported on all links
