KY-FGK-II-PCIE104

Komodo II CoaXPress 12G PCIe104 is the best-in-class Frame Grabber, supporting the CoaXPress v2.1 standard. It can receive video streams from up to 4 CoaXPress links in single, dual, or quad modes. It can also be used for simultaneous capture from multiple cameras. Each link supports standard CoaXPress bitrates of up to 12.5 Gbps.

The frame grabber utilizes PCIe104 compact standard. It is rugged, and reliable and the four-corner mounting holes make it particularly resistant to shock and vibrations. These features make the Komodo II CoaXPress 12G PCIe104 ideally suited for industrial, defense, and aerospace Machine Vision Systems and applications.

The Komodo II CoaXPress 12G PCIe104 can easily receive video streams on the CoaXPress links and transmit them to computer memory through the PCIe interface. This product also provides an external GPIO for machine control signals, such as triggers, timers, shaft encoders, exposure control, and general I/O which can be controlled aside from video stream acquisition. Our frame grabber uses standard Micro-BNC connectors as a CoaXPress interface to the camera. It utilizes PCIe Gen3 x8 links for communication with Host PC for video uploading and configuration.
