The EPIX Camera Link for PCI PIXCI-D2X is designed for scientific and machine vision applications that require the highest image quality. To insure that precise camera data is always delivered to the computer, the PIXCI D2X board never compresses, processes or modifies pixel values.

The PIXCI D2X is a 32 bit PCI bus master imaging board that transfers camera data to the host computer at the camera's data transfer rate. The camera's pixel clock controls the data flow from the camera into the PIXCI D2X; the computer's PCI bus chip set controls the data flow from the PIXCI D2X, through the PCI bus, to the computer's memory (or other PCI bus target).

The product designation "PIXCI D2X" refers to a series of 300 custom-configured imaging boards; each optimized to support one of 300 specialized digital cameras. Before a camera is added to the Camera Compatibility Guide, EPIX tests the camera and designs a camera-specific interface. Engineers custom program a PIXCI D2X board to exactly support the camera's video timing specifications and electronically tag the board with the camera's identification code. An "Adjust Dialog" menu, optimized to match the camera's capabilities, is added to the XCAP imaging program.

All versions of the XCAP program (except Demo) recognize all PIXCI PCI imaging boards, regardless of model or order code, and offer dedicated control for as many as 8 PIXCI boards / cameras in one computer.1 The Multiple Devices menu in XCAP displays each board by the model name of the camera it supports. Check Boxes provide quick and convenient camera selection.

Synchronized operation of multiple cameras is available (camera dependent).

The PIXCID2X requires a 32-bit operating environment. It is compatible with Microsoft Windows XP, 2K, NT, ME, 98, and 95 as well as 32-bit DOS. The XCAP Imaging Program is Windows compatible. XCLIB and PXIPL developer libraries are available for Windows and DOS. IMAGE PRO and TWAIN drivers are available.

EPIX supports development of custom drivers for other 32-bit environments (LINUX, UNIX, Macintosh etc).

The optional TTL Module minimizes false triggers when using a TTL trigger with a cable longer than one foot. The TTL MODULE converts the TTL trigger into a differential signal for reliable triggering with up to 200 feet of cable. The TTL MODULE also can generate a TTL strobe from the attached PIXCI® board. Compatible with PIXCI® CL1, CL2, CL3SD, D2X, D3X, SI, and SI4.
