Advanced PCIe x4 Image Acquisition | X64 Xcelera

Building on the field proven technology and performance of DALSA's X64 frame grabbers the new X64 Xcelera Series leverages the PCI Express (PCIe) platform to bring traditional image acquisition and processing technology to new levels of performance and flexibility. Designed with the requirements of the machine vision OEMs in mind, the Xcelera Series will range from entry level frame grabbers, to high-performance image acquisition boards and include embedded vision processors.

Addressing the emerging needs of bandwidth-hungry machine vision applications, DALSA's Xcelera Series is defining next generation frame grabber capabilities with the ability to deliver bandwidth of 1GB/sec over multiple-lane PCI Express implementations with room to grow. The PCIe host interface is a point-to-point host interface allowing simultaneous image acquisition and transfer without loading the system bus and involving little intervention from the host CPU.

The X64 Xcelera-CL PX4 Full is a Camera Link frame grabber that is based on the PCI Express x4 interface. Compatible with a Base, Medium or Full Camera Link® camera, the X64 Xcelera-CL PX4 Full supports a wide variety of multi-tap area and line scan color and monochrome cameras. Apart from supporting all standard CameaLink cameras the X64 Xcelera-CL PX4 Full board offers more versatility and will interface with cameras that go beyond Camera Link standard in terms of pixel depths and tap configurations. For example, the Xcelera-CL PX4 Full can support 10-taps or higher with 8-bits per tap.

The X64 Xcelera-CL PX4 Full has been built within DALSA's Trigger-to-Image Reliability technology framework. Trigger-to-Image Reliability leverages DALSA's hardware and software innovations to control, monitor and correct the image acquisition process from the time that an external trigger event occurs to the moment the data is sent to the host, providing traceability when errors do occur and permitting recovery from those errors.
