The Euresys Coaxlink QSFP+ is a four-connection CoaXPress-over-Fiber frame grabber designed for high-bandwidth machine vision and image acquisition applications. Featuring one QSFP+ port compatible with 40 Gbps optical modules, the board provides up to 5,000 MB/s aggregate camera bandwidth and a PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface with up to 6,700 MB/s sustained bus bandwidth. The Coaxlink QSFP+ supports area scan and line scan CoaXPress cameras and provides 20 digital I/O lines, advanced camera triggering and synchronization, Memento event logging, and CustomLogic FPGA programming for demanding industrial imaging applications.
Euresys frame grabbers provide high-performance image acquisition for demanding machine vision, industrial inspection, automation, and scientific imaging applications. Available for CoaXPress, CoaXPress-over-Fiber, and Camera Link cameras, Euresys frame grabbers combine high-speed data transfer with advanced triggering, synchronization, and camera control.
