Benefits

Applications

The Coaxlink Quad CXP-12 JPEG enables the compact implementation of a multi-channel ultra-high-resolution image acquisition and recording system. The embedded pixel processing drastically reduces the CPU workload to monitor and compress image streams.

Description

• The 4-camera firmware variant of the Coaxlink Quad CXP-12 JPEG implements four independent image acquisition channels with, for each of them, a Bayer CFA decoder and a baseline JPEG encoder that can process up to 250 Megapixels/s, for a total of 1 billion color pixels per second.

• Each channel delivers two concurrent streams: a “JPEG” encoded stream for recording and a “Preview” stream for monitoring.

• The JPEG stream delivers, with a typical latency of only 20 lines, 4:2:2 full-resolution JFIF-compliant encoded images compatible with standard JPEG decoders. The JPEG encoding quality is configurable from 1 to 100.

• The Preview stream provides 8-bit Bayer full-resolution, 24-bit RGB full-resolution or 24-bit RGB low-resolution images.

Support of JFIF image format

The GenICam Browser and GenTL Viewer applications now support JFIF images.

Power over CoaXPress

• Power over CoaXPress : Feed your camera up to 17 W per channel under 24 VDC with automatic device detection,measurement and overload protection.

• Total and per-channel voltage and current measurement is possible, allowing validation and performance deviation monitoring.
