Cyton-CXP

CoaXPress (CXP) is a simple yet powerful standard for moving high speed serial data from a camera to a frame grabber. Video is captured at speeds of up to 6.25 Gigabits/Second (Gb/S). Control commands and triggers can be sent simultaneously to the camera at rates up to 20 Mb/S (with a trigger accuracy of +/- 2 nanoseconds). Up to 13 W of power can also supplied to the camera. All of this happens over a single piece of industry standard 75 Ohm coaxial cable. Multiple CXP links can be aggregated to support higher data rates (e.g. four links provide 25 Gb/S of data). The CXP standard opens the door to applications where cable cost, routing requirements, and long distances have prevented the move to high resolution, high speed digital cameras. In many cases, existing coaxial infrastructure can be repurposed for CXP with very low installation costs. The Virtual Frame Grabber The Cyton-CXP4 can be configured in many different ways. It can acquire from one quad CXP-6 camera (total data rate: 25 Gb/S), four single link CXP-6 cameras, or anything in between. When acquiring from multiple cameras, each camera is attached to its own virtual frame grabber. This allows independent acquisition and control of each camera. However, when a four link camera is attached, only one virtual frame grabber is needed. StreamSync The StreamSync system consists of an Acquisition Engine and a Buffer Manager. The StreamSync system is a start-from-scratch complete redesign of the acquisition and DMA parts of a frame grabber. Features >> Efficient support for variable sized images with fast context switches between frames >> Per frame control of acquisition properties (AOI specifically) >> Hardware control of image sequencing >> Enhanced debug capabilities >> Efficient support for on-demand buffer allocation (Genicam model) >>Gracefully recover from dropped packets (either on the input side or the DMA side) CoaXPress High Speed Uplink The Cyton-CXP has an optional fifth CXP connector that can run the full 6.25 Gb/S from the frame grabber to the camera. The CoaXPress standard is still evolving, but the need for this high speed uplink has already become apparent. The demands for bulk uploads to the camera and precise trigger accuracy have already outstripped the current 20 Mb/S uplink specification. PCI Express Gen 2.0 Interface The Cyton-CXP has a Gen 2.0 x8 PCI Express bus interface. The Gen 2.0 PCIe bus doubles the data rate of the Gen 1.0 bus while using the same footprint and connectors. The board will work in Gen 2.0 x16 and x8 slots, with a minimum electrical configuration of x8. This ensures the board will run at full capacity. Camera Control and I/O The Cyton-CXP can acquire fixed or variable size images and features a programmable ROI (Region Of Interest) sub-windowing capability. The Cyton-CXP fully supports the CoaXPress 1.1 specification, which provides a high priority trigger packet from the frame grabber to the camera (note: both 1.1 and 1.0 cameras are supported, but the GPOI packet part of the 1.0 specification is not). All I/O signals can be routed to/from many internal and external destinations, providing a flexibility that is unprecedented in the industry. In addition, there are separate hardware I/O signals which can be connected to/from external sources. Finally, each CXP camera has a full set of these signals which can be run independently. The Cyton-CXP board, supports not only simple triggering modes, but also complicated, application-specific triggering.

Claxon-CXP

CoaXPress Version 2.0 doubles the speed of CXP up to 12.5 Gb/S. BitFlow stays ahead of the curve with its Claxon frame grabber that support up to four links of CXP-12. Introducing The Claxon Platform BitFlow has been shipping CoaXPress frame grabbers since 2012. The standard has not stood still and BitFlow has continued to advance its products. The latest is the Claxon, a quad CXP-12 PCIe Gen 3 frame grabber. CXP-12 is the latest CoaXPress speed jump, now transmitting video at 12. 5 Gb/S. While the speed of data through the frame grabber has doubled, the overall architecture has remained the same as the previous generation Cyton, allowing user to easily migrate to the newer cameras without major software changes. CoaXPress CoaXPress (CXP) is the latest Machine Vision designed camera to frame grabber interconnect standard. CXP supports a high speed downlink for video data, a low speed uplink for camera control, and power, all over standard coax cables. Multiple CXP connections can be aggregated to even higher speed cameras. CoaXPress 2.0 CXP 2.0 not only doubles the speed from the previous release (6.25 to 12.5 Gb/S) but also adds many new features directed at industrial Machine Vision. For example, the uplink is now running twice as fast, and the trigger packet has been simplified to support much higher camera trigger speeds. Support has been added for device to host event packet, supporting asynchronous messages from the camera. Also added was support for the micro BNC connector which is more robust and runs at higher speeds than the DIN 1.0/2.3. A heartbeat packet has also been added which supports time synchronization of multiple cameras. Application Support Adding the Claxon-CXP to application is simple with SDK, which supports both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. Applications can be developed using C/ C++/.NET and sophisticated buffer management APIs. In addition, free drivers can be download from website for most 3rd party machine vision packages. The Claxon-CXP is software compatible with all the other current BitFlow frame grabbers. This makes migrating applications from Camera Link or analog to CXP simple and quick.

Axion-CL

With each successive generation of Camera Link frame grabbers, BitFlow has improved the quality, flexibility, and robustness of their interfaces. Meanwhile, the Camera Link Specification has also been continuously evolving: 80-bit (10-tap) mode was added, Power over Camera Link (PoCL), new connectors, new tap formats.

Neon-CLB

Simplify industrial, medical, or semiconductor imaging application with BitFlow's Neon-CLB, the easiest to use and most reliable Base/PoCL Camera Link frame grabber available anywhere. The Neon-CLB captures images at the camera's highest frame/data rate, with precision image acquisition suitable for the most demanding applications. Adding the Neon-CLB to application is simple with SDK, which supports both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. The SDK provides high-level APIs for sophisticated buffer management and low-level direct access to the board for speedy custom control. Power over Camera Link Power over Camera Link (PoCL) is an extension of the Camera Link specification that allows for frame grabbers to provide power to small cameras over the Camera Link cable. PoCL provides many advantages to the OEM. First, the cabling is vastly simplified, as only a single cable is required for data, power, and control to the camera. This provides all the convenience of Firewire or USB cables schemes with the addition of industrial cabling and much higher data rates. Another advantage is that, because only a single cable is required, the camera footprint can be greatly reduced. PoCL Safe Power The baseline PoCL specification only outlines the basic requirement of the frame grabber providing power to the camera. However, without some protection, there are many situations that can occur where both the frame grabber and/or the PC the board it is installed in can be damaged. To overcome these problems an ancillary provision was added to the PoCL standard called "Safe Power". The Safe Power specification takes into account every possible situation that might occur on the CL power lines and protects both the frame grabber and the PC. Safe Power also provides a path for backwards compatiblity with non-PoCL cameras and non-PoCL cables. FlowThru Architecture Comprised of a user-programmable Video Pipeline, a flexible Camera Control Unit, efficient high-speed video FIFOs, and a highly-optimized scatter/gather DMA engine, the FlowThru architecture allows the Neon-CLB to control, acquire, reformat, and transfer video data directly into the user's application at camera speeds with zero latency or CPU usage. Our FlowThru architecture has been continuously optimized and enhanced to support a wide variety of imaging applications, such as document/package processing, semiconductor, continuous web inspection, sequence capture, and motion analysis. It can easily be adapted to the specific needs of your application. Software Support The Neon-CLB is supported by the BitFlow Software Development Kit (SDK), which is available for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows platforms. The SDK is board family generic and will work with all of BitFlow's frame grabbers (making future migrations to other families trivial). The kit provides drivers, DLLs, and configuration utilities for people interested in using third party software. For customers interested in developing their own applications, the SDK provides header files, libraries, and huge amounts of example code. The SDK provides a wide range of Application Programming Interfaces (API), from low-level direct hardware access to high-level automatic buffer management. Every line of code has been engineered for reliability under the toughest industrial conditions. At the same time, a priority has been put on ease of use and short development times. PCI Express Interface The Neon-CLB uses a x4 PCI Express bus interface. The PCI Express bus offers huge increases in DMA performance over the PCI bus. However, what is less well known is that the PCI Express bus is always peer to peer. This means the Karbon-CL does not share the bus with any other devices. In most motherboard architectures, it will talk directly to the PCI chipset that is on the memory bus. This direct connection equates to higher sustained DMA bandwidths regardless of system load. Most motherboards support concurrent full DMA speed on all of their PCI Express slots. The board will work in any slot that it fits in. This means not only x16, x8 and x4 slots, but also, as is becoming the trend, x1 slots that use x4 (or larger) connectors. Camera Control and I/O Supported by a GUI camera file editing utility (CamEd), the Neon can acquire fixed or variable size images and features a programmable ROI (Region Of Interest) sub-windowing capability. The board provides a full set of camera control signals (CC1, CC2, CC3, CC4) and sync inputs (LVAL, FVAL, PCLK, trigger, and encoder) for total camera and acquisition control. These signals are completely independent, although there are provisions for driving all cameras from a signal set up encoder/trigger signals. There is also a large number of programmable general purpose outputs and inputs that are not tied to the camera's timing.

Neon-CLD

Neon-CLB is the world's first PoCL frame grabber. Now comes the Neon-CLD which supports two cameras on the same low-cost x4 PCIe platform. Both cameras can be run completely independent (with different resolutions, frame rates, triggering modes, etc.) or perfectly synchronized. The Neon-CLD is incredibly flexible and powerful, yet it can substantially lower system cost. Not only is the Neon-CLD very aggressively priced, but there are additional savings from connecting two cameras to one frame grabber. Adding the Neon-CLD to application is simple with SDK, which supports both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. Develop application using sophisticated buffer management APIs, or download our free drivers, available for most 3rd party machine vision packages.Power over Camera LinkPower over Camera Link (PoCL) is an extension of the Camera Link specification that allows for frame grabbers to provide power to small cameras over the Camera Link cable.

Neon-CLQ

This product started with the Neon-CLB, the world's first PoCL frame grabber. Next came the Neon-CLD which supports two cameras on the same low-cost x4 PCIe platform. The newest member, the Neon-CLQ, supports capture from four cameras simultaneously. Both cameras can be run completely independent (with different resolutions, frame rates, triggering modes, etc.) or perfectly synchronized. The Neon-CLQ is incredibly flexible and powerful, yet it can substantially lower system cost. Although the Neon-CLQ only requires a single PCIe slot it provides four camera interfaces plus I/O. This means the Neon-CLQ hits the highest density of cameras per slot of any frame grabber on the market while bringing the cost per camera down to unprecedented lows.
