Frame Grabber Supports Over 24 Multi-Channel Digital Output Cameras

The EPIX Camera Link for PCI PIXCI-D3X is a PCI-compatible imaging board supporting camera configurations with 3 to 8 data channels, or with 30 to 64 total data bits - cameras that are beyond the interfacing capacity of the PIXCI D2X.

One PIXCI D3X board on one bus interfaces to a maximum of 32 bits or 4 data channels to a maximum sustained data transfer rate of 100 MB/sec. Two PIXCI D3X boards on one bus interfaces to a maximum of 64 data bits or 8 data channels to a maximum of 100 MB/sec.

Supported cameras include the DALSA DS-4x-64K1M. Two PIXCI D3X BOARDS on two BUSES interface to a maximum of 64 data bits or 8 data channels to a maximum of 200 MB/sec.

Supported cameras include the DALSA CT-F3-2048, DALSA CT-F3-4096, DALSA 1M60 and DALSA 4M15. The product designation "PIXCID3X" refers to a series of 24 custom-configured imaging boards; each optimized to support one of 24 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 the PIXCI D3X interface 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.

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.
