Predator II Single Camera Link High Speed compatible is the best-in-class Frame Grabber, supporting the Camera Link High Speed compatible v1.2 standard. It can receive video streams from Single Camera Link High Speed compatible v1.2 link in single mode. It can also be used for simultaneous capture from multiple cameras. Each link supports standard Camera Link High Speed compatible v1.2 bitrates of up to 10.3125 Gbps. These features make the Predator II Single Camera Link High Speed compatible ideally suited for industrial, defense and aerospace Machine Vision Systems and applications.

The Predator II Single Camera Link High Speed compatible can easily receive video streams on the Camera Link High Speed compatible link 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 SFP+ connectors as a Camera Link High Speed compatible v1.2 interface to the camera. It utilizes PCIe 2.0 x8 links for communication with Host PC for video uploading and configuration.
