The X64-CL Express is a Camera Link®frame grabber that is based on the PCI Express x1
interface - next generation bus interface technology for the host PCs. PCI-Express is a
serial digital interface technology that is specifically designed to offer dedicated bandwidth
to each plug-in device while reducing the PCB design complexity.
The X64-CL Express supports up to two independent Base or one Medium Camera Link
color and/or monochrome cameras. Its low cost, combined with its ability to reformat input
data from multi-tap area and line scan cameras in addition to its on-board FPGA based
processing (including Bayer decoding and real-time shading correction) makes the X64-CL
Express an ideal solution to a wide variety of cost-sensitive applications where flexibility,
performance and reliability cannot be compromised.
