Overview
Komodo II is best in its class Frame Grabber supporting CoaXPress standard. The
Komodo II is capable of receiving video streams from up to 4 CoaXPress links in single,
dual or quad modes. It is used for simultaneous capture from up to two dual link cameras.
Each link supports standard CoaXPress bitrates up to 12.5 Gbps. This CoaXPress Frame
Grabber is ideally suited for industrial, defense and aerospace Machine Vision Systems
and applications. The Komodo II can easily receive video streams on the CoaXPress links
and transmit them to computer memory through the PCIe interface. This product also
provides an external on bracket GPIO for machine control signals, such as triggers, shaft
encoders, exposure control and general I/O, which can be control aside video stream
receive.
The Komodo II uses standard Micro-BNC connectors as a CoaXPress interface to the
camera. The Frame Grabber utilizes PCIe Gen3 x8 links for communication with Host PC
for video uploading and configuration.
Features
1 to 4 CoaXPress links support
PCIe Gen3 x8 Half-length card
Multi-stream support
Camera controls and triggers
Per-link LED indication on card bracket
CoaXPress V2.0 compliant
On board image processing
Power over CoaXPress with 19W per link
Flexible GPIO interface on front bracket panel
Multiple Camera synchronization
Multiple Frame Grabbers synchronization
Micro-BNC connectors for CoaXPress links
GUI interface
CoaXPress drivers for loopback function
