Teledyne Dalsa announced the expansion of its Xtium series with a new half-length CoaXPress frame grabber. Teledyne Dalsa frame grabbers combine industry-leading performance and feature sets, great value, and extensive camera support. The Xtium-CXP PX8 is fully supported by Sapera LT SDK and Teledyne DALSA’s Trigger-to-Image-Reliability platform. Like other models within the series, the Xtium-CXP PX8 takes full advantage of the PCIe Gen 2.0 platform using PCIe x 8 slots to deliver bandwidth of up to 2.5 GBs from four input channels (6.25 Gbps per channel). The Xtium-CXP PX8 is in full production now.

The Xtium series minimizes CPU usage and improves processing times for host applications by enabling maximum sustained throughput and ready-to-use image data. The Xtium family offers enhanced memory architecture to handle area and line scan, monochrome and color cameras.

Key features include:

• Half-length PCIe Gen2 x8 board
• Four DIN 1.0/2.3 coaxial connectors
• Support for CXP cameras with 1, 2 or 4 output channels of up to 6.25Gbs/channel
