Matrox Solios eV-CL ushers in a new level of value for Camera Link® frame grabbers.
It provides connectivity to the most high-performance, multi-megapixel area and
line scan Camera Link® cameras on the market augmented with onboard Bayer
interpolation (eV-CLB/CLBL), color space conversions and look-up tables. The Matrox
Solios eV-CL provides all these capabilities at the most attractive price point yet.
Versatile Camera Link® Interface
For field-proven, low-latency and deterministic acquisition, Camera Link® provides
a scalable solution conceived specifically for machine vision applications. From
cost-sensitive low data rate applications, to mainstream applications including color
and right up to maximum bandwidth applications, Camera Link® is an excellent
fit. The introduction of the mini Camera Link® connector (eV-CLB/CLF) has lead to
compatibility with small footprint PCs by enabling two Base mode Camera Link®
interfaces with triggering and general purpose I/O in a single slot. Even the most
spaced-constrained systems can now support dual Base or single Medium/Full
configurations.
The Matrox Solios eV-CLB/CLBL is capable of simultaneously capturing from
two completely independent Base Camera Link® cameras at up to 85 MHz. Fully
supporting Power over Camera Link® (PoCL), the Matrox Solios eV-CLB/CLBL can
reduce cabling complexity and eliminate the need for bulky and costly external
camera power supplies. Alternatively the Matrox Solios eV-CLF/CLFL, capable of
handling a single Full Camera Link® camera with up to 10-taps at 70 MHz, can
acquire and reconstruct images from the most advanced multi-tap high-performance
area and line scan cameras.
High-performance host interface
A PCIe® x4 host interface provides the throughput necessary to ensure the
continuous flow of pixels from the Matrox Solios eV-CL to host
memory. With a peak bandwidth of up to 1 GB/s, the Matrox Solios
eV-CL’s host interface prevents pixels from inadvertently being
discarded while the point-to-point connectivity of PCIe® stops other
add-in devices from consuming valuable bandwidth between the
frame grabber and the host PC.
