Meet the Active Silicon team at Booth 10F59 and discover our latest CoaXPress and CoaXPress over Fiber frame grabber products, explore our expanding AF-Zoom camera portfolio, and see our newest imaging and embedded vision modules in action. We also look forward to discussing your vision challenges and advising on the best solution for your application. Schedule a meeting with our team.

NEW – 100 Gbps FireBird CoaXPress over Fiber

At VISION we will introduce our FireBird 1xCOF100G-4PE8 frame grabber, a new-generation board designed for ultimate performance. It features a QSFP28 port supporting data rates up to 100 Gbps across four 25 Gbps lanes and its PCI Express 4.0 x8 interface enables real-time transfer of high-resolution image data to the host system. Fiber optic cabling allows for very long cable lengths and is immune to EMI.

As one of the primary authors and ongoing developers of the CoaXPress standard, Active Silicon brings trusted expertise to CoaXPress over Fiber technology. Visit our stand at VISION to talk with our CTO and Technical Chair of the CoaXPress standard to learn more about the new generation frame grabbers and CoaXPress 3.0.

NEW – Compact Harrier AF-Zoom Modules with Global Shutter

We also just launched the new block cameras Harrier 10x AF-Zoom Camera GS and Harrier 30x AF-Zoom Camera GS. Featuring a 3MP Sony Pregius S global shutter CMOS sensor, the cameras capture fast-moving objects without motion distortion and deliver Full HD video up to 1080p60. Designed for UAVs, ROVs, robotics, inspection, transport, and remote monitoring, they support LVDS, USB 3, HDMI, and Ethernet IP outputs for maximum integration flexibility.

Interested in learning more about the cameras at the show? Our team would be glad to show you the new modules – please book a meeting to discuss the benefits of a Harrier camera for your application. A live demo on our stand will compare the capabilities of the Harrier 10x GS model with a rolling shutter camera.
