Modular image processing board supports multiple I/O standards

摘要

The emergence of high-speed cameras and interfaces creates new opportunities and challenges for developers of machine vision systems. While embraced by numerous camera and frame grabber vendors, the emergence of the CoaXPress (CXP) standard, for example has led to a number of cameras and frame grabber offerings from numerous suppliers. To embrace this high-speed interface, systems integrators can use CXP to Camera Link or Camera Link to CXP converters that allow developers to leverage existing Camera Link frame grabbers with newer CXP cameras. Such converters also allow Camera Link cameras to take advantage of the longer camera to computer distances offered by the CXP standard. While using such converters is effective, they are limited by the maximum bandwidth of the Camera Link standard and add additional expense to a system.
