KY-FGK-II-CXP-2ch

Komodo II Dual CoaXPress is the best-in-class Frame Grabber, supporting the CoaXPress v2.1 standard. It can receive video streams from up to 2 CoaXPress v2.1 links in single or dual modes. It can also be used for simultaneous capture from multiple cameras. Each link supports standard CoaXPress v2.1 bitrates of up to 12.5 Gbps. These features make the Komodo II Dual CoaXPress ideally suited for industrial, defense and aerospace Machine Vision Systems and applications.

The Komodo II Dual CoaXPress 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 video stream acquisition. Our frame grabber uses standard Micro-BNC connectors as a CoaXPress v2.1 interface to the camera. It utilizes PCIe 3.0 x8 links for communication with Host PC for video uploading and configuration.
