KY-FXCL-III
The FXCL III Acquisition system is the industry most advanced Camera Link compatible image acquisition system without range limitations. The system uses fiber optic cables to provide high resolution image acquisition interface for distances up to 80 km in single-mode and up to 300 m in multi- mode, while each Camera Link Full interface translated to single fiber cable. The FXCL III Acquisition system is capable of receiving video streams from Camera Link Full camera while such interface supports standard Camera Link bitrates up to 100 MHz. This system is ideally suited for industrial, defense and aerospace Machine Vision Systems and applications. The system consists of Komodo III CLHS compatible frame grabber and CameraLink to CLHS converter unit. The remote unit converts CameraLink interface to fiber optic interface. The FXCL III system uses a high performance flow through DMA to transmit video streams to computer memory through PCIe interface with minimal latency. This product also provides GPIO for machine control signals, such as triggers, shaft encoders, exposure control and general I/O, which can be control aside video stream acquisition.
