After an image is acquired by the camera it has to be transported over an interface to a processing unit, e.g. a PC. There are various interface technologies available with each their pros and cons. In these blogs we discuss these advantages and disadvantages.
CoaXPress 2.0 Frame Grabbers on the Market CoaXPress is a leading communication standard for high-speed imaging applications in professional and industrial markets. The success of CoaXPress is due to its ease of use, high bandwidth capability, reliability over longer cable distances, and the ability to have power over the cable. The interface is robust yet…
5, 10 and 25 GigE Advances in Camera Interface Technology compared to CoaXPress 1.1 and 2.0 Introduction Gigabit Ethernet vision was released in 2006 and provides a gigabit per second interface for cameras with a cable length of up to 100-meters. That worked when cameras were low resolution or even now with a medium resolution…
Searching for a Frame Grabber? Now that CoaXPress 2.0 is approaching a lot of frame grabber manufacturers already have cards available that support this standard. For other vision standards, the developments are also not standing still. For our own list of frame grabber manufacturers refer to this post. For more information about the CoaXPress 2.0…
With the impending release of the CoaXPress (CXP) 2.0 standard, a lot of people are buying CXP 2.0 Frame grabbers even though there are not a lot of CXP 2.0 cameras yet. It makes sense to buy the new technology since it is also backward compatible. A minor problem is that you need a hybrid…
Today a new blog in the Bootstrap CoaXPress features blog series. This time we will take a closer look at the ConnectionConfig and the related ConnectionConfigDefault feature. ConnectionConfig is one of the most used bootstrap features by the system engineer. This feature can be used to set the number of connections you would like to use…
Bootstrap CoaXPress features blog series CoaXPress is an interface standard. This means that some obligatory features are defined that should be available in each camera and/or frame grabber to make data transfer possible. StreamPacketSizeMax is one of them. For CoaXPress, the features related to the interface between frame grabber and camera are grouped together in…
In our last blog we discussed the origins of latency and jitter in a triggering scheme for a CoaXPress camera. In this blog we will continue by zooming in on the actual magnitude of the latency and jitter. What is the latency and jitter related to the CoaXPress interface? To answer this question let us…
Determining the latency and jitter in an imaging system is a difficult task. Each component in the system can contribute to these parameters. You have to take into account your frame grabber, the interface and the camera. Latency can occur at the start of the imaging process. In that case it is defined as the…
At the Vision Trade Fair 2011 held in Stuttgart November 8th to 10th Ray Berst from Components Express discusses high-flex, long-distance cable and connector offerings that support the latest developments in interface standards and emerging standards. Those discussed are Camera Link HS, USB 3.0, and CoaXPress.
Matrox has written a concise white paper providing details on CoaXPress and help when consideriing CoaXPress versus Camera Link or GigE Vision for your vision system.
