FASTXe2 FRAME GRABBER

The FastXe2 framegrabber series is for users who anticipate a demand for extreme I/O requirements and/or higher bandwidth, complex image processing and real-time high-speed storage in a cost effective platform. The base FastXe, is a one half  length raw form factor PCIe (X4) Gen2 board with either six basic 85 MHz Camera Link Channels up to two extended full Camera Link camera interfaces. An auxilliary I/O connector provides a header for adaptation of other high speed interfaces such as GigEx4, high speed analog formats such as UXGA or DVI, or CoaXPress. The front-end data is formatted and preprocessed by a Kintex 7 FPGA before being sent to the PCIe (X4) Gen 2 bus
