Overview
Komodo is best in its class Frame Grabber supporting CoaXPress standard. The Komodo
is capable of receiving video streams from up to 8 CoaXPress links in single, dual, quad or
octal modes. It is used for simultaneous capture from up to two quad link cameras. 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. The Komodo can easily receive video streams on the CoaXPress links
and transmit them to computer memory through the PCIe interface. 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.
Features
1 to 8 CoaXPress links support
PCIe Gen3 x8 Half-length card
Multi-stream support
Camera controls and triggers
Up to 4 re-transmit links
Per-link LED indication on card bracket
