X64
 

 
The Coreco Imaging X64-CL
The Coreco Imaging X64-LVDS
The X64 Series is a family of advanced framegrabbers comapatible with the PCI-X, PCI-64 bus and standard PCI (PCI-32) host PC bus standards. Designed for asynchronous image acquisition from multiple cameras using either the CameraLink™, LVDS, or Analogue transfer methods, these framegrabbers are built around a core technology comprising of the ACU-Plus (Acquisition Control Unit) and the DTE (an intelligent Data-Transfer-Engine) with in built 'Trigger to Image Reliability' technology. The X64-CL Series is designed to deliver unprecedented flexibility, reliability, and performance for machine vision applications.  
Notes   Specific Board Features

General:

The X64 is designed from the ground up for ease of use. Trigger to Image Reliability Technology provides LED indication of presence of camera signals and application notification of missing data.

Acquisition Control Unit - Plus

The ACU-plus allows the capture of colour and monochrome images on a single board simultaneously. It also performs any necessary pixel transformations during the acquisition process, which saves preprocessing time and accelerates image processing and analysis.

Embedded timing logic within the ACU-Plus identifies each acquired image with a time code, allowing image data to be readily correlated with physical objects on the production line.

Capable of acquiring images at rates up to 680MB/sec, the ACU-Plus makes image acquisition from the new generation of CMOS and multi-tap CCD cameras more efficient and cost effective.

Data Transfer Engine

The Data Transfer Engine (DTE) delivers fast and secure images to system memory with zero CPU overhead.

The Data Transfer Engine used DMA to transfer images from the ACU-Plus to local frame buffer memory, or transfer the same image to multiple addresses in the host memory. The ACU-Plus and DTE use the on-board 256MB memory to perform these operations concurrently, yet at different rates, yielding optimal utilisation of system bandwidth. Designed to simplify machine vision tasks, the DTE is also responsible for on-the-fly input tap adjustments for directions, pixel overlap and underlap. This enables the DTE to deliver images that are ready for processing while freeing up the host CPU for other image analysis tasks.
