Product Description
The PIXCI® ECB2 frame grabber provides two interfaces for any two Base camera link cameras. The PIXCI ECB2 is handled by EPIX' software as if two PIXCI ECB1 boards are installed. The ECB2 will accept two trigger signals one for each camera; or allows a single trigger to control capture from both cameras.
A strobe output signal is generated for each trigger. The PIXCI ECB2 frame grabber supports two cameras with a combined sustained bandwidth up to 204 MB/second. Compatible with ExpressCard, the mobile PCI Express interface for notebook computers, the PIXCI® ECB2 frame grabber interfaces to more than 100 of the newest, most advanced, highest bandwidth machine vision cameras available.
The PIXCI® ECB2 offers:
- 191 megabytes per second, sustained, data transfer rate to laptop. Faster notebooks may provide up to 204 megabytes per second, sustained, data rates. Burst transfers at 250 megabytes per second.
- Camera specific controls - exposure, bit depth, gain, frame rate, etc.
- Camera operation in free-run mode for maximum frame rate capture.
- Camera operation in control (trigger) mode.
The PIXCI® ECB2 is a plug-n-play frame grabber requiring no hardware setup or adjustment. Install the board, load the software, connect the camera, and capture images. Upon startup, the XCAP imaging program reads a camera identification chip on the PIXCI® ECB2 frame grabber, allowing XCAP to load the appropriate video format and display the camera's dedicated Capture & Adjust Dialog.
