Moving forward with CoaXPress

CoaXPress is a new camera interface standard that takes advantage of common coax cabling to transmit images at rates and distances above and beyond previous standards. With CXP, image data can be transmitted at up to 6.25 Gbps using a single coaxial cable and up to 25 Gbps using four cables to a maximum of 40 meters3. CXP’s high-bandwidth makes it the right match for a new generation of cameras with larger and faster image sensors.

CXP’s full duplex design enables the transmission of camera configuration and control along with image data on the same cable. The Power over CoaXPress (PoCXP) capability further simplifies cabling by providing a camera with up to 13W per cable. This unified cabling facilitates the upgrade of legacy imaging systems from analog to digital

Reliable high-performance image acquisition

The Matrox Radient eV-CXP provides two (Dual) or four (Quad) independent CXP connections through BNC connectors. This allows for simultaneous capture from up to two (Dual) or four (Quad) cameras each running at different CXP speeds (i.e., 1.25, 2.5, 3.125, 5.0 or 6.25 Gbps). For high-bandwidth applications, the Radient eV-CXP frame grabber can also capture from a single camera transmitting image data at up to 12.5 Gbps (Dual) or 25 Gbps (Quad) using connection aggregation.

To reliably handle these high data rates, the Matrox Radient eV-CXP uses a PCIe® 2.0 x8 host interface – with a peak transfer rate of up to 4GB/s – combined with up to 4GB SDRAM of on-board buffering. The frame grabber can also offload the host CPU from having to perform image pre-processing task (i.e., Bayer interpolation, color space conversion and LUT mapping).

The Matrox Radient eV-CXP further simplifies overall system integration by providing camera power, trigger and control over each CXP connection, as well as two (Dual) or four (Quad) independent sets of auxiliary I/O for interfacing with rotary encoders, photoelectric sensors and strobe controllers. By having the primary set of auxiliary I/Os on the same bracket as the BNC connections, the Matrox Radient eV-CXP offers a true single PCIe® slot solution for single camera applications4.

Field-proven application development software

The Matrox Radient eV-CXP is supported by the Matrox Imaging Library (MIL), a comprehensive collection of software tools for developing industrial imaging applications. MIL features interactive software and programming functions for image capture, processing, analysis, annotation, display and archiving. These tools are designed to enhance productivity, thereby reducing the time and effort required to bring your solution to market. Refer to the MIL datasheet for more information.
