Frame grabbers
Our partner for Frame Grabbers dedicated for our CL and CoaxPress high speed cameras. All our cameras are fully tested and compliant to the Silicon Software Frame Grabbers and SDK.
CoaXPress
The CoaXPress (CXP) standard was released in December 2010. It provides a high-speed interface between cameras and frame grabbers and allows long cable lengths. In its simplest form, CoaXPress uses a single coaxial cable to: transmit data from a camera to a frame grabber at up to 6.25 Gbits/s; simultaneously transmit control data and triggers from the frame grabber to the camera at 20.8 Mbits/s; and provide up to 13W of power to the camera. Link aggregation is used when higher speeds are needed, with more than one coaxial cable sharing the data. Version 1.1 allows use of the smaller DIN 1.0/2.3 connector.
The standard specification is maintained by Japan Industrial Imaging Association.

The Camera Link standard was initially released in 2000. It is a robust, well-established communications link that standardizes the connection between cameras and frame grabbers and defines a complete interface, including provisions for data transfer, camera timing, serial communications, and real-time signaling to the camera. Camera Link is a non packet-based protocol and remains the simplest camera/frame grabber interconnect standard. Currently in version 2.0, the standard specification includes Mini Camera Link connectors, Power over Camera Link (PoCL), PoCL-Lite (a minimized PoCL interface supporting base configurations) and cable performance specifications.
The standard specification is maintained by Automated Imaging Association.
