Bitflow Cameras



CXP-12 is the latest CoaXPress standard, now transmitting video at 12.5 Gb/s. Despite doubling its speed, BitFlow engineers kept the overall architecture of the Claxon-CXP4 identical to the company's previous generation Cyton CXP-6 frame grabber, allowing users to easily swap-out slower CXP 1.1 cameras with more powerful CXP-12 cameras without major software changes or system downtime.

Neon-CL and Axion-CL Series

Camera Link Interface offers the advantages of real-time/ high speed, easy frame grabber and camera integration, lower cable prices (cost-effective), extremely robust and powerful, and standardization. BitFlow offers a variety of Camera Link frame grabbers to suit your imaging application needs.

By: BitFlow, Inc. Base Camera Link interface; Power over Camera Link (PoCL) Supports both PoCL and non-PoCL cameras; Provides Safe Power - full protection from all CL power line faults; Fully backwards compatible with non-PoCL cameras and cables; Half-Size x4 PCI Express Board; Acquire up to 24 bits at 85 MHz. Bitflow NEO-PCE-CLD The Neon family is growing. It started with the Neon-CLB, the world's first PoCL frame grabber that provided Base Camera Link acquisition on an OEM priced platform. Now comes the Neon-CLD which supports two cameras on the same low cost x4 PCIe platform. Interfacing Vision Research S990 to the BitFlow Cyton-CXP4 Frame GrabberThis document explains how to interface the Vision Research S990 to the BitFlow Cyton-CXP frame grabber. The S990 is very high speed camera running 4K x 2k at 1000 FPS. This data rate exceeds the. The BitFlow's PCIe Gen 2 platform is the foundation for today's and tomorrows frame grabbers, be it CoaXPress, Camera Link, or whatever new standards emerge from the Machine Vision industry.

BitFlow has offered a Camera Link frame grabber for almost 15 years. This latest offering, our 6th generation combines the power of CoaXPress with the requirements of Camera Link 2.0.

Bitflow

The Axion-CL is fully compatible with every high-speed, high-performance Camera Link camera including base, medium, full and 80-bit (10-tap) CL configurations. It can acquire from up to two 80-bit/85 MHz camears simultaneously with the board appearing to application software as two independent frame grabbers which greatly simplifies set-ups for multiple cameras. The Axion was built on a half-size x8 PCI Express Gen 2.0 board. The Gen 2.0 PCIe bus doubles the data rate of the Gen 1.0 bus while using the same footprint and connectors and is fully backwards compatible with Gen 1.0 motherboards. Additionally, Power over Camera Link (PoCL) is available.

Like the Cyton-CXP frame grabber, the Axion-CL leverages features such as the new StreamSync system, a highly optimized DMA engine, and expanded I/O capabilities that provide unprecedented flexibility in routing. The StreamSync system consists of an Acquisition Engine and a buffer manger. Additional features include efficient support for variable sized images with fast context switches between frames, per frame control of acquisition properties, hardware control of image sequencing, enhanced debug capabilities, efficient support of on-demand buffer allocation and graceful recovery for dropped packets.

There are two options available; Axion 1xE & Axion 2xE. The Axion 1xE is compatible with one base, medium, full or 80-bit camera offering PoCL, Power over Camera Link, on both connectors. The Axion 2xE is compatible with two base, medium, full or 80-bit cameras offering PoCL on both connectors for both cameras. In dual camera mode, the board looks to Windows and application software like two completely independent frame grabbers.

The Axion-CL is a culmination of the continuous improvements and updates BitFlow has made to Camera Link frame grabbers. It is the most powerful CL frame grabber BitFlow has ever manufactured.
