Dalsa Coreco : XCELERA-LVDS PX4
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.
