Active Silicon designs and manufactures a wide range of frame grabbers based around leading-edge hardware technology and versatile software toolkits. The range includes acquisition solutions for CoaXPress, Camera Link and LVDS in different form-factors. Operating system support includes 64-bit versions of Windows, Linux and QNX.
The FireBird Single CoaXPress Low Profile is a high-performance and cost-effective single CoaXPress link (6.25 Gbps) board. The 4-lane Gen2 PCI Express frame grabber is fitted with a Micro-BNC connector and offers front panel I/O. DMA engine technology “ActiveDMA” guarantees zero CPU intervention, high-speed and low-latency image data transfers.
The FireBird Quad CXP-6 frame grabber is an eight lane Gen2 PCI Express interface, offering four CoaXPress links each at 6.25 Gbps. Up to four individual cameras, or combinations of cameras requiring multiple CoaXPress links, can be supported simultaneously. DMA Engine technology “ActiveDMA” guarantees zero CPU intervention, high speed and low latency image data transfers.
The FireBird Dual CXP-6 frame grabber is an eight lane Gen2 PCI Express interface, offering two CoaXPress links each at 6.25 Gbps. Two individual cameras, or one camera requiring two CoaXPress links, can be supported. DMA Engine technology “ActiveDMA” guarantees zero CPU intervention, high speed and low latency image data transfers.
The FireBird Single CXP-6 frame grabber is an eight lane Gen2 PCI Express interface, offering a single CoaXPress link at 6.25 Gbps. DMA Engine technology “ActiveDMA” guarantees zero CPU intervention, high-speed and low-latency image data transfers. All FireBird frame grabber offer comprehensive I/O.
The FireBird Camera Link Dual 80-bit (Deca) is an eight lane (x8) Gen2 PCI Express board for simultaneous capture from two Camera Link cameras, which could be two Medium, two Full or two 80-bit cameras (including PoCL). Designed for ultimate performance it provides the very fastest image acquisition without CPU intervention.
The FireBird Camera Link 80-bit (Deca) is a cost-effective and fast four lane (x4) Gen2 PCI Express board for capture from two Base cameras or a single Base, Medium, Full or 80-bit Camera Link camera (including PoCL). This frame grabber also features front panel I/O.
FireBird Camera Link 80-bit Low Profile is a cost-effective and fast four lane (x4) Gen2 PCI Express board for capture from two Base cameras or a single Base, Medium, Full or 80-bit Camera Link camera (including PoCL). The low profile design allows this board to be used in small embedded PC enclosures and rackmount cases where the full height PC cards are not suitable.
FireBird Camera Link 80-bit (Deca) is an eight lane (x8) Gen2 PCI Express board for capture from a single Base, Medium, Full or 80-bit Camera Link camera (including PoCL). FireBird is designed for ultimate performance providing the very fastest image acquisition without any CPU intervention.
The FireBird Camera Link Quad Base / Dual Medium is an eight lane (x8) Gen2 PCI Express board for simultaneous capture from two Medium Camera Link cameras, or four Base cameras (including PoCL). Designed for ultimate performance it provides the very fastest image acquisition without CPU intervention.
The FireBird Camera Link CompactPCI Serial card is a member of Active Silicon’s state-of-the-art FireBird frame grabber family. FireBird is designed for ultimate performance providing the very fastest image acquisition without any CPU intervention using the latest FPGA families, DDR3 memory, and a fast Gen2 PCI Express interface.
The FireBird Quad USB 3.0 Host Controller supports four USB 3.0 ports arranged as two ports per host controller with each controller having its own PCI Express x1 Gen2 interface to give a combined total data throughput of 10 Gbps. The USB 3.0 Host Controllers used are the proven Renesas μPD720202.
The Phoenix-D36 x4 is a four lane (x4) PCI Express board for capture from LVDS and RS-422 camera sources with a maximum bit depth of 36-bits. There is extensive onboard I/O along with serial port functionality.
