Xcelera-CL+ PX8 Full
Back to Dalsa Frame Grabbers

 

 

 

Teledyne Dalsa delivers the industry's most reliable and versatile family of frame grabbers combining industry leading performance with industry leading feature sets, great value and extensive camera support. Board-level innovations deliver Trigger-to-Image Reliability significantly increasing system performance and ultimately helping to increase yield.

Designed with the requirements of the machine vision OEMs in mind, the Xcelera Series ranges from entry level frame grabbers, to high-performance image acquisition boards,
to embedded vision processors.

Addressing the emerging needs of bandwidth-hungry machine vision applications, the Xcelera Series is defining next-generation frame grabber capabilities with the ability to deliver
bandwidth beyond 1GByte/s over multiple-lane PCI Express (PCIe) implementations with room to grow.

Teledyne Dalsa image acquisition boards have been field tested and approved for use with more than 200 cameras covering a wide range of characteristics, requirements and specifications.

The Xcelera-CL+ PX8 Full is a Camera Link frame grabber that is based on the PCI Express interface to bring traditional image acquisition and processing technology to new levels of performance and flexibility.

Compatible with a Base, Medium or Full Camera Link® camera, the Xcelera-CL+ PX8 Full supports a wide variety of multi-tap area and line scan colour and monochrome cameras and for greater versatility, the Xcelera-CL+ PX8 Full board can interface with advanced Camera Link camera output formats including 10-taps of 8-bit/pixel or 8-taps of 10-bit/pixel at 85MHz pixel clock rates.

The Xcelera-CL+ PX8 Full has been built within Teledyne DALSA’s Trigger-to-Image Reliability technology framework which leverages their 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. This means that there is provision for traceability when errors do occur and permitting recovery from those errors.

Xcelera-CL+ PX8 Full Data Sheet


What is PCIe host interface?
PCIe host interface is a point-to-point host interface and allows simultaneous image acquisition and transfer involving little intervention from the host CPU

What is Trigger-to-Image Reliability
Trigger-to-Image Reliability technology framework 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.
