Dalsa Coreco : XCELERA-HS PX8
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.
