Coreco
PC-CamLink

PC-CamLink is an industrial PCI frame grabber that utilizes the Camera Link™ digital camera interface. PC-CamLink combines a half-slot PCI-bus frame grabber featuring Coreco Imaging's high-speed image transfer architecture to provide a high performance, cost-effective interface to cameras conforming to the Camera Link specification. The PC-CamLink provides the user with a flexible interface for high speed, high resolution with suuport for clock rates up to 62.5 MHz. A unique feature of the PC-Camlink is 16MB of on-board memory which maintains the required high data transfer rates while minimizing CPU utilization and risk of data loss. PC-CamLink is capable of bus mastering image data directly to the host PC memory as lines become available.

The scatter-gather feature enables automated image transfers which further reduces CPU overhead and maximizes the sustained transfer speed, leaving much needed processing cycles for demanding continuous inspection applications.  A data rate of up to 187.5MB/s can support cameras with resolutions to 64K pixels wide by N lines. Camera control can be accomplished via the Camera Link serial interface.

Key features

  • 120MB/s sustained bus master transfer to host, guarantees no missing lines

  • Low host CPU burden

  • OPTO-22 compatible parallel I/O (8/8) port

  • Dual 16 x 16 LUT for image transformations

  • 16MB of on-board buffering for reliable image capture

  • Acquisition rates up to 62.5 MHz

  • Scatter-gather for highly memory-efficient image transfers and management

  • One Camera Link connector and one I/O connector allows all needed signals for data and I/O to be Available on a single plate.

  • Area and line scan camera formats supported

 

Coreco
Viper-CamLink

The Viper-CamLink is a single slot, high performance acquisition and pre-processing board for the PCI bus to capture from digital cameras utilizing the industry standard Camera Link interface. The Viper-CamLink supports all three modes of operations of Camera Link specifications: Base, Medium and Full, allowing it to acquire images from one, two, four or eight tap area and line-scan digital, monochrome or RGB cameras. Capable of acquiring at rates up to 200 MB/second, the Viper-CamLink features two, 32-bit wide input channels providing 8, 16 or 32-bit/pixel formats. Digitizing pixels at 50 MHz, the Viper-CamLink can transfer images directly into the system memory of the host computer or to the Mamba using the CAB.
