Do you need high camera data rates and reliable image transfer at rates at 6.25 Gbits / sec over a single cable reaching 100+ meters?
CoaXPress (CXP) may be the perfect interface to solve your problems!
First, let us explain - What is CoaXPress (CXP) and its benefits?
CoaXpress, established in March 2011, has become the worlds leading standard for high speed imaging in various industries from machine vision, medical imaging, life sciences and defense. Combining the simplicity of coaxial cables with state of the art high-speed serial data technology, CoaXPress is a very desirable solution for high speed imaging and data transmission.

Benefits of CoaXPress (CXP) include:
- 6.25 Gbps per cable for image and data transfer with higher speeds using aggregate cables up to 25 Gbps!
- Long Cable lengths up to 100 meters using standardized connections.
- One cable solution can provide digital video, power, trigger and GPIO
- Cost effective cable solutions which are hot pluggable.
- Real time behavior with fixed, very low latency transmission.
- Potential to re-use existing coaxial cable to upgrade image systems.
CoaXPress is an interface which requires a frame grabber on the host computer which communicates with the camera.
Teledyne Dalsa has recently adopted CoaXPress into the popular Xtium family of frame grabbers providing a robust solution based on the current Xtium platform.
The Xtium-CXP PX8 is based on the industry standard PCI Express Gen 2.0 expansion bus to deliver high speed access to host memory over 8 lanes. Featuring a half length PCIe card with 4 input channels of up to 6.25 Gb/s, fully supported by Dalsa's Sapera LT SDK.
What is the key differentiator of the Xtium-CXP PX8 CoaXPress frame grabber?
Free Run Time licences
When using Teledyne Dalsa's Sapera processing library, the Xtium series offers free run-time licenses for Sapera processing standard Run-Time (RTL). The standard tools include access to over 350 highly optimized image processing functions and tools for area based search, blob analysis and image calibration! If you are already using Sapera processing, you have an immediate cost savings!
Trigger to Image Reliability framework
The Xtium series support Sapera LT’s Trigger-to-Image (T2IR) framework for maximum reliability of the image acquisition system. The T2IR functions provide critical, real-time details of system events that help track and monitor acquisition, transfer, and control processes to ensure reliability of the imaging system. System up-time is increased and cost are lowered and all free of charge as part of the Sapera LT SDK.

How do you get the most pixels for your money? Check out the new Dalsa Nano C4900 camera!
Teledyne Dalsa has continued expanding its Genie Nano GigE vision camera series. Introducing the Nano C4900 GigE camera based on the ON Semiconductor AR1820HS 18 Megapixel Back Side Illuminated (BSI) image sensor with a resolution of 4912 x 3684.
Attractively priced below $600, this just may be the most pixels for your money!
- Back Side Illuminated Technology (BSI): If we were to look at this sensor 5 years ago and see a pixel size of 1.25um, we’d assume that is not light sensitive. On the contrary as ON Semiconductor flipped the pixel upside down! Traditional image sensors were front illuminated where the photo detectors were towards the back of the pixel stack. In turn, there was loss in this method as it interfered with overall light reaching the detector. Back side illuminated sensors have the same elements, but the photo detector was moved forward to not have as much loss due to internal wiring and reflections. BSI technology improves the change of photons being captured from 60 to 90% on average providing high sensitivity even in small pixels!
- Burst Acquisition mode: The Nano C4900 has 200 MB of internal memory allowing image capture at higher rates exceeding the GigE bandwidth for periods of time. This mode is very useful for applications needing a rapid series of images at intervals.
- Rolling Shutter with Global Reset: Rolling shutter image sensors have the benefit of lower cost typically, but are limited to stationary objects due to image distortion. However, thanks to a the global reset feature, distortion is minimized by allowing all the lines to be exposed with read out of the lines there after.
- Extended Operating Temperature range: Nano cameras have an operating case range of -20 to 60 deg. C. This provides higher temperatures versus the competition.
- 1 / 2.3″ Image Format: High resolution cameras typically have relatively large formats which increases the cost of lenses. As the pixels are relatively small, the image format is only 1/2.3 allowing lower cost lenses to be used.
18 Megapixels, 13 frame/sec, high sensitivity, overall low cost creates possibilities!
Applications may include:
- Low light, high magnification medical applicications
- Industrial Metrology
- Intelligent traffic solutions (ITS)
- Microscope applications
- Unmanned Aerial
Need high resolution, global shutter cameras still in a compact format? Dalsa is now shipping the following new high resolution cameras:
Dalsa Nano M4020 (IMX304) – 12MP, 4112 x 3008, 20 fps
Dalsa Nano M4030 (IMX267) – 9MP, 4112 x 2176, 30 fps

As the old saying goes, “A system is only as strong as its weakest link”. As a reminder, do not let your cables be your weak link!

Learn about FUJI’s HF-XA-5M (5 Megapixel) lens series which resolves 3.45um pixel pitch sensors! Perfect for cameras with Sony Pregius image sensors.
FUJINON has continued to expand its HF-XA-5M product line with the new 5 MegaPixel lens (MP) series.
These lenses provide the resolving power required for the popular Sony Pregius Image sensors with 2/3″ formats and 3.45um pixel pitch.
For any cameras using the Sony Pregius 5 MP IMX264 and IMX250 sensors, these are a perfect match for the pixel pitch. Even older Sony ICX625 sensors will benefit from the new HF-XA-5M lenses.
FUJI HF-XA-5M Unique Features
The FUJINON HF6XA-5M, with a focal length of 6mm measures just 39mm in external diameter, the world’s smallest machine vision lenses of this class. The other five models are also compactly designed with the external diameter of 29.5mm, which is about the same size as general compact machine vision cameras. The entire series contributes to achieving a compact form factor for machine vision systems
FUJI’s unique “4D” High Resolution performance delivers edge to edge sharpness under a range of installation conditions

At full resolution, the USB 3.0 camera delivers up to 57 fps (Full HD with up to 80 fps).
It is particularly suitable for cost-oriented applications in the fields of machine vision, medical engineering or microscopy.
For customers who are looking for a camera with more speed, we recommend our UI-3070CP with the faster Sony IMX252 sensor, up to 134 fps are possible (Full HD up to 187 fps).
 It’s worth taking a look at our models with Sony’s fast and cost-effective rolling shutter sensors of the STARVIS series: the light sensitivity is so impressive!The UI-3880CPmodel with the Sony IMX178 sensor offers a high resolution of 6.4 MP (3088 x 2076 px, 1/1.8″) for high-resolution images at frame rates of up to 60 fps at full resolution.
Due to its high speed and sensitivity, this camera is well suited for traffic monitoring (ITS). It is also perfect for visualization tasksin microscopy or quality assurance.
