Euresys has officially announced the addition of the Coaxlink Quad CXP-12, a 4-connection CXP-12 frame grabber, to its existing Coaxlink series.
In this short video, they introduce the latest member of their Coaxlink series, the Coaxlink Quad CXP-12. CXP-12 is the top speed of the latest version of CoaXPress 2.0. It operates at exactly 12.5 Gbps! So it is twice the existing speed of the CXP Standard.
Practically, 2 Camera Link Full cables have been replaced by one single CXP cable. Over this CXP cable you can transmit more than what could have been transmitted in Camera link Full configurations.
A major feature of this new product is the increase of the maximum connection bit rate to 12.5 Gbps. Currently, the maximum data rate over a single connection is 6.25 Gbps.
This innovation results in a maximum camera data transfer rate over 4 connections of 5 GByte/s allowing operation of a 10-bit 12-megapixel area-scan sensor at more than three hundred images per second, or an 8-bit 16k line-scan sensor at 300 thousand lines/s.
This new member of the Coaxlink series comes with a PCle Gen 3 x8 bus offering a peak delivery bandwidth of 7.8 GByte/s. The effective delivery bandwidth being of 6.7 GByte/s.
It is worth noting that a single Coaxlink Quad CXP-12 provides more bandwidth than four Camera Link Full frame grabbers, in a single slot!
The numerous applications of the new Coaxlink Quad CXP-12 include among others, AOI, 3D SPI, 3D inspection, printing inspection and in-vehicle video transfer.
