Frame grabber exploits new host bus standards

The X64 Series from Coreco Imaging were the first advanced frame grabbers to take advantage of the new host bus standards, PCI-X, and PCI-64, both offering extremely high data transfer rates to and from the host PC.

The two new models in the X-64 range are: The X64-Analogue; a high performance frame grabber for up to 4 analogue cameras with 128Mb RAM as standard upgradeable up to 2Gb, offering a very efficient 32 and 64 bit interface.

Transfer rates up to an amazing 528Mb/s (64 bit PCI-X and PCI-64) or 100Mb/s (32bit PCI) are sustainable depending on the PC capabilities.

The X64 Analogue supports up to 4 analogue cameras and uses the standard Hirose connectors for compatibility with a very wide range of camera models.

The X64-LVDS: provides an excellent interface for anyone who needs to acquire images at high data rates from cameras that use the LVDS interface (8, 10, 12 bit LVDS or RS422 format).

It supports both linescan and area scan cameras of 8, 10 12, 14 and 16 bits per pixel monochrome, and 8 bits per pixel colour at acquisition rates up to 680MB/s and can transfer image data to host memory at up to 528MB/s.

The X64-LVDS provides a solution for cameras with up to 8-taps (8 bits/pixel) and is the product of choice when acquiring high speed image data from analogue sources.

With the ever increasing requirement for faster transfer rates and increasing sensor sizes, the X-64 series provides a secure image capture solution, no matter which protocol you choose, be it CameraLink, LVDS or analogue, and in addition these boards all benefit from the Trigger-to-Image-Reliability framework that guarantees image integrity throughout your vision system.
