INTRODUCTION

The Fast-XL Frame grabber is for OEMs and End Users who anticipate a demand for extreme I/O requirements or higher band width for FastVision's FastCamera 13 and FastCamera 40 series CMOS cameras in a cost effective platform. The Fast-XL, see below, is a AT length PCI board with 80 bit Camera Link Channels which provides input for the newest high speed cameras. Finally the Fast -XL interfaces to the host computer through a PCI interface for state-of-the-art data acquisition.

FAST-XL KEY FEATURES

The diagram below outlines the basic functional section of the FAST-XL board. These are:

  • Raw PCI form factor board with 1-4 GB dedicated high speed DDRAM for sustained real-time on-board storage
  • Collects data from up to 80 Bits of asynchronous Camera (channel) Link channels

  • Cameralink Specification( 286.6KB)
  • PCI Bus interface with 32 bit downward compatibility
  • Drivers for Windows® 9X/NT/2K
