The FireBird Quad CXP-12 3PE8 frame grabber is a high-performance four-link board, compliant to CoaXPress v2.1. This CXP frame grabber features an 8-lane Gen3 PCI Express bus and supports CoaXPress speeds up to 4 x CXP-12, resulting in data rates of up to 50 Gbps. It is fitted with Micro-BNC connectors and offers I/O access on the end bracket.
The FireBird Quad CXP-12 3PE4 frame grabber is a high-performance four-link board, compliant to CoaXPress v2.1. This 4-lane Gen3 PCI Express frame grabber supports CoaXPress speeds up to 2 x CXP-12 or 4 x CXP-6, resulting in data rates of up to 12.5 Gbps per link. It is fitted with Micro-BNC connectors and offers I/O access on the end bracket.
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 access to I/O on the end bracket. DMA engine technology “ActiveDMA” guarantees zero CPU intervention, high-speed and low-latency image data transfers.
The FireBird Quad frame grabber provides 24/7 reliable high-speed image acquisition in real time. Up to four individual cameras, or combinations of cameras requiring multiple CoaXPress links, can be supported simultaneously. The card offers an eight lane Gen2 PCI Express interface and four CoaXPress links each at 6.25 Gbps. DMA Engine technology “ActiveDMA” guarantees zero CPU intervention.
