KY-FGK-440 CoaXPress Frame Grabber, 4 CoaXPress Receivers and 4 CoaXPress Transmitters
General Komodo Information
Komodo is best in class Frame Grabber supporting CoaXPress standard and certified by the Japan Industrial Imaging Association (JIIA). The Komodo is capable of receiving video streams from up to 4 CoaXPress links in single, dual or quad modes while simultaneously forwarding the video stream to next in the chain Frame Grabber and to Host PC through PCIe interface, all at the same time. It can be used for simultaneous capture from multiple cameras or one quad link camera. Each link supports standard CoaXPress bitrates up to 6.25 Gbps. This CoaXPress Frame Grabber is ideally suited for industrial, defense and aerospace Machine Vision Systems and applications. It can also re-transmit video streams to other CoaXPress Frame Grabber. 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. The Komodo uses standard DIN connectors as a CoaXPress interface to the camera and standard 100 mil headers for general purpose I/O. The Frame Grabber utilizes PCIe Gen3 x8 links for communication with Host PC for video uploading and configuration.
