Dalsa Coreco : XCELERA-LVDS PX4

Digital Frame Grabber

Dalsa Frame Grabbers

THIS MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED

Description

Fast, flexible, highly reliable image acquisition

The X64 Xcelera-LVDS PX4 is a PCIe x4 frame

grabber for conventional parallel digital output cameras. As part

of Teledyne DALSA痴 flagship Xcelera Series of high-performance

frame grabbers, the Xcelera-LVDS 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 interface that facilitates

simultaneous image acquisition and transfer without loading the

system bus or requiring significant intervention from the host CPU.

Designed with the requirements of machine vision OEMs in mind, the

Xcelera Series of products range from entry level frame grabbers to

high-performance image acquisition and processing boards.

The X64 Xcelera-LVDSPX4 has been built within

Teledyne DALSA痴 Trigger-to-Image Reliability (T2IR) technology

framework. The T2IR technology leverages Teledyne 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. The X64 Xcelera-LVDS PX4 supports a wide variety of

multi-tap area and line scan color and monochrome cameras.

Software Support.

The Xcelera series is fully supported by Teledyne DALSA痴 Sapera

Essential machine vision software package. Sapera Essential is a

cost-effective software development toolkit that bundles board

level image acquisition and control software libraries with highly

advanced image processing capability including geometric search,

OCR, 1D/D2 barcode symbology, calibration and blob analysis tool

along with over 350 highly optimized image processing functions.
Sapera Essential is designed to deliver the critical functionality

required by machine vision OEMs: develop, deploy, redistribute and

maintain high-performance imaging applications while at the same

time significantly lower the total cost of ownership.
Teledyne DALSA Platform Development Advantage – Free Run-Time

Licensing

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 license1 includes

access to over 400 image processing functions, area-based

(normalized correlation based) template matching tool, blob

analysis and lens correction tool.
