Teledyne Announces Frame Grabber Series for Ultra-Fast Image Acquisition
Teledyne DALSA has announced the release of the Xtium3 PCIe Gen4 family, a next-generation frame grabber engineered to deliver maximum sustained throughput and ready-to-use image data for high-performance industrial applications.
Building on the proven Xtium2 platform, the first model, Xtium3-CLHS PX8 supports the Camera Link HS (CLHS) standard over the PCI Express Gen 4.0 interface. This single-slot, single-cable solution accommodates up to seven CLHS lanes, each operating at 10.3125 Gbps (72.2 Gbps in total), enabling acquisition bandwidths of 8.6 GB/s and host transfer rates of up to 13.2 GB/s via a PCIe Gen4 x8 slot.
Key features and benefits:
- High-speed data transmission ̶ Utilizes CLHS X-protocol with over 97% packet efficiency and 64/66-bit encoding. Supports long cable lengths exceeding 30 meters using 7-lane AOC cables
- Real-time data forwarding ̶ Redistributes incoming data to up to 12 computers via standard AOC cables for distributed image processing
- Optimized performance ̶ PCIe Gen4 architecture delivers sustained throughput of 13.2 GB/s directly to host memory, reducing CPU load and accelerating image processing
- Broad compatibility ̶ Supports area and line scan, monochrome and color cameras, delivering exceptional performance for Camera Link HS (a future model will support CoaXPress®)
- Advanced image processing ̶ Enables multi-plane HDR processing for Teledyne’s Linea HS2 16K camera
- Software support ̶ Fully compatible with Teledyne’s Sapera LT Software SDKs and third-party software for seamless integration.
The Xtium3 series is designed to meet the demands of modern machine vision systems, offering robust performance, scalability, and flexibility for a wide range of industrial applications. Fully supported by Teledyne’s Sapera LT Software SDKs, the Xtium3 series empowers developers and integrators to build robust, high-speed imaging systems with minimal overhead and maximum flexibility.
