Basler : Boost Series
Description
The Basler boost Series is Basler’s first camera series with CoaXPress 2.0 interface for high resolutions and bandwidths.
Basler’s boost CXP-12 camera and CXP-12 interface card noticeably reduce your integration costs with an excellent price/benefit ratio. Together, they reach a new level of efficiency and will boost your performance!
The latest CMOS sensor technology combined with high bandwidth and all other advantages of the future CoaXPress 2.0 standard. Boost your performance – we’re taking off into new galaxies and elevating your application to a new cost-benefit ratio.
The boost series consists of modern high-performance cameras which offer you excellent image quality even at high data rates (up to 12.5 Gbps per cable), thanks to CoaXPress 2.0 and modern CMOS sensors. The cameras are equipped with the Sony Pregius sensors IMX255 and IMX253 and have resolutions of 9 and 12 megapixels. With a single coaxial cable, they can attain speeds of up to 93 frames per second. The GenTL standard makes it easy to integrate the components into your image processing system.
The boost series is an excellent choice for applications that require high data rates and resolutions and where the camera’s image data must be transferred over longer distances. They are ideally suited particularly for applications in the semiconductor industry, print inspection, food inspection and medical technology.
The future CoaXPress 2.0 standard offers a highly attractive, simple and above all reliable alternative for applications which were previously achieved with Camera Link or CoaXPress1.1, for example. Benefit from reduced complexity in your hardware setup, from noticeable cost benefits and the increased performance capacity of your image processing system.
The new CoaXPress 2.0 (CXP-12) standard promises high bandwidths and simplified hardware setups for sophisticated image processing applications. In combination with the latest CMOS sensor generation, Basler offers you the boost camera series in a bundle with the well-tailored Basler CXP-12 interface card 1C. The benefit for you: coordinated communication between the camera and interface card – not just thanks to the GenTL compatibility but especially due to the ability to control them with a sophisticated and simple software toolset for both components: the pylon Camera Software Suite (SDK).
Compared to CoaXPress 1.1 (CXP-6), this bundle with the CXP-12 interface offers you twice the bandwidth and thus a significant cost benefit in the selection of your system hardware. When switching to CXP-12, camera link users benefit even more from the high-resolution, fast CMOS sensors as well as from reduced system complexity.
