Dalsa Coreco : XCELERA-HS PX8

Digital Frame Grabber

Dalsa Frame Grabbers

THIS MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED

Description

Advanced PCIe x8 image acquisition

Building on the field proven technology and performance of DALSA痴

Xcelera-CL frame grabbers, the Xcelera-HS Series leverages the PCI

Express (PCIe) platform to bring traditional image acquisition and

processing technology to new levels of performance and flexibility.
The PCIe host interface is a point-to-point host interface allowing

simultaneous image acquisition and transfer involving little

intervention from the host CPU. Designed with the requirements of

the machine vision OEMs in mind, the Xcelera-HS

PX8 combines HS-Link interface with onboard preprocessing

functions such as shading correction, Bayer decoding etc.

Addressing the emerging needs of bandwidth-hungry machine vision

applications, DALSA’s Xcelera HS Series is defining next generation

frame grabber capabilities to deliver image acquisition bandwidth

of 1.8GByte/sec and host transfer bandwidth of 2GByte/s over

multiple-lane PCI Express implementations with room to grow.
The Xcelera-HSPX8 has been built within DALSA痴

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

Reliability leverages DALSA痴 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.

Software Support

All of the frame grabbers in the Xcelera series are supported by

DALSA痴 Sapera Essential software package. Sapera Essential, is a

cost-effective machine vision software toolkit that bundles board

level acquisition and control with advanced image processing

capability, featuring a value added, all new geometric search tool.
Sapera Essential is designed to deliver the critical functionality

needed to design, develop and deploy high-performance machine

vision applications while at the same time significantly lowering

deployment costs.

The HSLink1 interface is a new machine vision connectivity

interface pioneered by DALSA. HSLink is designed specifically to

meet the needs of all machine vision applications and therefore

carries image data, configuration data and low jitter, real time

triggering signals over a simple network topology supporting

cameras, intermediate devices and frame grabbers. The interface has

taken the key strengths of Camera Link, and added new features and

functions. HSLink delivers scalable bandwidth of 300 to 6000

Mbytes/s, 1x to 20x configurations while using globally available,

off-theshelf components.
