The Euresys Grablink Duo is a PCIe Camera Link frame grabber designed for high-performance machine vision and image acquisition applications. It supports one Camera Link Base, Medium, Full, 72-bit, or 80-bit camera, or two independent Camera Link Base cameras, with aggregate camera data rates up to 850 MB/s. The Grablink Duo features a PCIe 2.0 x4 host interface, Power over Camera Link (PoCL), ECCO Extended Camera Link Cable Operation, 512 MB onboard memory, 20 digital I/O lines, and advanced triggering and synchronization for area scan and line scan 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.
