EPIX frame grabber leverages PoCL interface

-- Test & Measurement World, 2/11/2009 9:00:00 AM

The PIXCI EB1, a PCI Express x1 frame grabber from EPIX, works with all area-scan and line-scan base-configuration Camera Link cameras and can be optionally outfit with a PoCL (Power over Camera Link) interface. PoCL not only provides power to the camera over the Camera Link cable, but also offers such benefits as easy installation and single-cable digital I/F, allowing cameras to be installed in a smaller physical area.

With the PIXCI EB1, you can achieve high-speed, low-latency, 250-Mbyte/s image transfer to a PCI Express bus x1 through x16 slot. The board safely supports PoCL cameras by detecting when a PoCL camera is connected and will disconnect power if it exceeds the specification.

The frame grabber comes with XCAP-Lite software and is ready-to-run with camera-specific controls for most Camera Link cameras and generic controls for all other cameras. XCAP-Lite lets you load, view, and save images to and from files when the PIXCI EB1 is present and open for use. The software also exports customized video formats and camera serial commands to assist programming the imaging board with the XCLIB C library.

Prices for the PIXCI EB1 start at $445 for a non-PoCL version.
