New from Firstsight Vision, the Viper-CamLink from Coreco Imaging is a single-slot high-performance acquisition and preprocessing board for the PCIbus, that allows capture from digital cameras using the industry standard Camera Link interface. The Viper-CamLink is believed to be the first framegrabber to support all the three operating modes as outlined in the Camera Link specifications: base, medium and full, allowing it to acquire images from one, two, four or eight tap area and line-scan cameras in either monochrome or RGB. It is capable of acquiring at rates up to 200Mbyte/se total featuring two, 32bit wide input channels providing 8, 16 or 32bit/pixel formats.
Like other Viper frame grabbers an optional pixel processor can provide real-time preprocessing such as flat field correction, convolution etc and can transfer images directly into the system memory of the host computer or to a Mamba embedded processing engine using the CAB transfer bus.
The Viper-CamLink supports input resolutions from 32 x 32 to 64k x 256k pixel.
