The Euresys Coaxlink Quad G3 is a four-connection CoaXPress CXP-6 frame grabber designed for high-performance machine vision and image acquisition applications. Supporting up to four area scan or line scan cameras, the board provides up to 2,500 MB/s aggregate camera bandwidth and a PCIe 3.0 x4 host interface with up to 3,350 MB/s sustained bus bandwidth. The Coaxlink Quad G3 also features Power over CoaXPress (PoCXP), 1 GB onboard memory, 20 digital I/O lines, and advanced camera triggering and synchronization 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.
