Frame Grabber offers PCI Express compatibility to cameras.
November 3, 2009 -
Available with standard or low-profile bracket, PIXCIŽ SI1 offers sustained data transfer rates at 190 Mb/sec and burst transfers of 250 Mb/sec. Allowing use of SILICON VIDEOŽ cameras on PCI Express bus, unit captures images over software-selectable pixel clock range of 25-70 MHz. It supports 64-bit memory addressing for writing long-duration image sequences into terabytes of memory. Bit packing allows more images to be captured, reducing size of 12-bit images by 25% and 10-bit images by 37.5%.
The new PIXCIŽ SI1 frame grabber allows use of most EPIX'Ž SILICON VIDEOŽ cameras on the PCI Express bus. Image and control data are transferred with minimal buffering over any PCI Express slot for low latency image capture and analysis. With 190 megabyte per second sustained data transfer rates, and burst transfers at 250 megabytes per second, the PIXCIŽ SI1 captures images over a software-selectable pixel clock range of 25MHz to 70MHz (typical). Higher pixel clock frequencies offer faster frame rates, shorter exposure times, and cable lengths up to 8 meters. Lower pixel clock frequencies enable slower frame rates, longer exposure times, and the use of longer cables.
Bit packing allows more images to be captured to memory or hard drive. 12-bit images are reduced in size by 25%: 10-bit images are reduced by 37.5%. The PIXCIŽ SI1 supports 64-bit memory addressing for writing long-duration image sequences into terabytes of memory.
TTL trigger and strobe connectors provide for async capture and flash control. The RJ45 camera cable connector is used for images, control, and camera power. The PIXCIŽ SI1 is available either with a standard bracket or with a low-profile bracket for low-height computers.
Supported SILICON VIDEOŽ cameras have resolutions of 0.3, 1.3, 3.1, 5.0, 9.1, and 10 megapixels. Area of interest controls allow resolution to be traded-off for higher frame rates. The PIXCIŽ SI1 frame grabber, with XCAP-Lite software, is $495.00.
