Matrox Rapixo CXP
CoaXPress 2.0 Frame Grabbers includes data forwarding models to distribute demanding processing over multiple PCs
Matrox Rapixo CXP Quad Data Forwarding—combines CoaXPress® 2.0 connectivity with a data forwarding option to help distribute image processing across multiple computers. The Data Forwarding capability will be available on two boards, one offering CXP-6 speed, and the other supporting CXP-12 speed.
Matrox Imaging’s CoaXPress frame grabbers offer very high-rate acquisition while minimizing CPU load. PC-based machine vision systems equipped with a Matrox Rapixo CXP frame grabber can thus deliver higher throughput or perform more demanding processing.
Data forwarding to leverage processing power from multiple computers
Matrox Rapixo CXP Quad Data Forwarding can now distribute image-processing tasks across multiple computers. This works by relaying images to another computer using four output connections running at up to 12.5 Gbps. The data forwarding functionality re-transmits all image data prior to being stored in the onboard memory, and is accomplished without the involvement of the host computer, minimizing system latency.
Multiple Matrox Rapixo CXP Quad Data Forwarding boards can be used, in a daisy-chain manner, to transfer an image to multiple computers. Each computer can then process a different part of the image or perform different processing on the whole image.
Wide selection of CoaXPress connectivity available
The Matrox Rapixo CXP series of frame grabbers include models with one, two, or four connections for interfacing to independent cameras. Supporting data rates of either up to 6.25 Gbps (CXP-6) or up to 12.5 Gbps (CXP-12) per connection, the Quad, Dual, and Single models provide right-sized connectivity.
Rapixo CXP Features
- Support for the highest speeds available in CoaXPress 2.0
- The ability to distribute image processing workload across multiple computers through data forwarding capability with minimal latency
- Connect and capture from up to four cameras or combine connections for even higher data rates
- Simplified cabling with Power-over-CoaXPress (PoCXP) support between cameras and vision computer
- Offload host computer of custom image processing using FPGA device
- Ample auxiliary I/Os to synchronize each CoaXPress connection to sensors, encoders, and/or controllers
- License fingerprint for MIL software avoids the need for a separate hardware key
Pairs with Matrox Imaging software
The Matrox Rapixo CXP board supports 64-bit Windows and Linux through the latest Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) Software. The card also acts as a license fingerprint and can store a supplemental license for MIL software, avoiding the need for a separate hardware key.
Field-proven development software
Matrox Rapixo CXP is supported by Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) software. MIL is a comprehensive software development kit (SDK) with a 25-year history of reliable performance. This toolkit features interactive software and programming functions for image capture, processing, analysis, annotation, display, and archiving operations, with the accuracy and robustness needed to tackle the most demanding applications. Refer to the MIL datasheet for more information.
