BitFlow to Showcase CoaXPress Video Frame Grabbers at SPIE Defense, Security + Sensing Conference
BitFlow, Inc. will be displaying its field-proven line of video frame grabbers at the upcoming SPIE Defense, Security + Sensing Conference
WOBURN, MA, April 23, 2013 -- Video frame grabbers are key components in the high-technology vision systems deployed by the military to detect bombs, guide weapons, drive unmanned vehicles, capture images from aircraft, and other applications that keep citizens safe.
To educate engineers how to make their vision systems more accurate, responsive and productive, BitFlow, Inc. will be displaying its field-proven line of video frame grabbers at the upcoming SPIE Defense, Security + Sensing Conference, the industry's leading meeting for scientists, researchers and engineers from industry, military, government agencies, and academia throughout the world. BitFlow will be in booth 813 at SPIE, scheduled for April 29-May 3 in Baltimore, MD.
"Our commitment to the defense sector has led us to engineer frame grabbers capable of extremely fast, zero latency transfer of uncompressed HD video for critical surveillance and guidance,' explained Donal Waide, Director of Sales for BitFlow. "Also, our Software Development Kit (SDK) allows developers to take full advantage of the host computer's capabilities for greater flexibility."
For the first time at SPIE BitFlow will display its Cyton™ and Karbon™ CXP frame grabbers, both based upon the CoaXPress interface. CoaXPress is a simple, yet powerful interface that offers video acquisition speeds up to 6 Gigabits per second, along with the ability to send control commands and triggers at 20 Megabits per second, all over a single piece of 75 Ohm coaxial cable in lengths up to 135 meters. Additionally, a maximum 13W of power can be transmitted to a camera along the same cable.
Karbon-CXP frame grabbers are CoaXPress 1.0 compliant, and support anywhere from one to four CXP cameras and up to four CXP multi-links. Cyton frame grabbers incorporates the Gen 2.0 x8 PCI Express bus interface on its back-end, an advancement that doubles the data rate of the Gen 1.0 bus for the ultimate high-speed access to host memory in multi-camera systems, while using the same compact footprint and connectors.
Also on display at SPIE will be BitFlow's wide range of Camera Link solutions, from its low cost Neon™ models to its high speed Karbon grabbers. Camera Link remains a viable interface in machine vision, especially for military systems.

Featured Product
The ERT150 - Dorner's Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors
The next evolution in Dorner's Edge Roller Technology conveyor platform, the ERT®150, is ideal for small and light-load assembly automation, as well as medical and medical-device assembly application. The ERT platform is the only pallet conveyor of its kind available with an ISO Standard Class 4 rating for cleanroom applications. Earning the ISO Standard 14644-1 Class 4 rating means Dorner's ERT150 will conform and not contribute to the contamination of cleanrooms to those standards. As implied by its name, the ERT150 (Edge Roller Technology) uses rollers to move pallets through the conveyor smoothly with no friction (a byproduct often seen in belt-driven platforms). The conveyor's open design eliminates concerns of small parts or screws dropping into rollers and causing conveyor damage or jamming. The ERT150 is suited to operate in cleanroom environments requiring a pallet handling conveyor. It is capable of zoning for no or low-back pressure accumulation and is ideal for automation assembly applications within industries including medical devices, electronics, consumer goods among others.
