Xtium-CL PX4

Next Generation Camera Link
Frame Grabber on PCIe Gen2 platform
®

Building on the field proven capability of Teledyne DALSA’s Xcelera frame
grabber series, the Xtium™-CL PX4 is based on industry standard PCI Express™
Gen 2.0 expansion bus to deliver high speed access to host memory. The new
Xtium series offers higher bandwidth to sustain Camera Link 80-Bit modes over
longer cable distances and supports a wide variety of area and line scan
color/monochrome cameras, all in a compact, half-length, single slot solution.

The Xtium-CL PX4 takes full advantage of PCIe Gen 2.0 x4 platform to deliver a
bandwidth in excess of 1.7GB/s, while at the same time supporting PCIe Gen 1.0
slot to deliver 850MB/s. The newly engineered, on-board, Data Transfer Engine
(DTE) produces maximum bandwidth without the need for specialized motherboards
or chipsets. By enabling maximum sustained throughput and ready-to-use image
data, the Xtium-CL PX4 minimizes CPU usage and improves processing times
for the host applications. In addition, the Xtium series has been engineered with
enhanced memory architecture allowing it to handle different sensor tap topologies
while sustaining color decoding at the maximum frame/line rate.

The Xtium-CL PX4 offers built-in, robust electrical signals for external event
synchronization, and status notification LEDs. One or more boards can be
synchronized to acquire images from multiple area or line scan cameras
simultaneously. The Xtium-CL PX4 supports one Base, Medium, Full or
80-bit mode or two Base Camera Link cameras with Base/Medium/Full
PoCL capabilities.

The Xtium series is engineered to meet the ever-increasing image resolution and
faster frame rates of today’s camera technology. In addition to PCIe Gen 2.0 x4
and Camera Link, upcoming models will support Camera Link HS as well as other
popular interface standards on a PCIe Gen 2.0 x8 platform.
Fully Supported By Sapera™ Vision SDK
The Sapera Essential standard processing tool run-time license is offered at no
additional charge when combined with the Teledyne DALSA frame grabbers. This
software run-time license includes access to image processing functions, areabased (normalized correlation based) template matching tool, blob analysis and
lens correction tool.
Sapera™ Nitrous accelerates Sapera Essential applications by providing a
seamless support for graphical processing units (GPU) and multi-core CPUs
optimization (MCO).
Sapera™ Architect Plus gives system integrators and industrial vision
automation specialists a user-friendly, non-programming graphical environment
to quickly prototype and test drive application specific imaging tools within
Sapera Essential and Sapera Nitrous.
