CameraLink frame grabbers
The 3DPIXA camera is compatible with CameraLink frame grabbers which support the
following configurations:
CP000470 models:
CameraLink Base configuration:
If a line frequency of 21.2 kHz is not required, the 3DPIXA can also be operated in base
mode with a line frequency of 11.6 kHz.
– Configuration: 1 tap with 24 bits
1X (1 pixel with 24 bits)
– Bandwidth: 3 bytes @ 85 MHz pixel clock frequency = 255 MBytes/s
CameraLink Medium configuration:
High performance of the 3DPIXA is reached by using the medium configuration with a line
frequency of 21.2 kHz.
– Configuration: 2 taps with 24 bits
2XE (2 pixels with 24 bits)
– Bandwidth: 6 bytes @ 85 MHz pixel clock frequency = 510 MBytes/s
CP000520 models:
CameraLink Base configuration:
If a line frequency of 23.1 kHz is not required, the 3DPIXA can also be operated in base
mode with a line frequency of 12.4 kHz.
– Configuration: 1 tap with 24 bits
1X (1 pixel with 24 bits)
– Bandwidth: 3 bytes @ 85 MHz pixel clock frequency = 255 MBytes/s
CameraLink Medium configuration:
High performance of the 3DPIXA is reached by using the medium configuration with a line
frequency of 23.1 kHz.
– Configuration:
2 taps with 24 bits
1X2 (2 pixels with 24 bits) (default setting)
or
2 taps with 24 bits
2XE (2 pixels with 24 bits)
– Bandwidth: 6 bytes @ 85 MHz pixel clock frequency = 510 MBytes/s
CameraLink Full configuration:
Full performance of the 3DPIXA is reached by using the full configuration with a line
frequency of 29.7 kHz.
– Configurations:
Full64: 8 taps with 8 bits
8Tx8b 1X8 raw
Full80: 8 taps with 10 bits
8Tx10b 1X8 raw
10 taps with 8 bits
10Tx8b 1X10 raw
– Bandwidths:
Full64: 8 bytes @ 85 MHz pixel clock frequency = 680 MBytes/s
Full80: 10 bytes @ 85 MHz pixel clock frequency = 850 MBytes/s
Chromasens regularly tests frame grabbers for their compatibility with the 3DPIXA
cameras. A list of frame grabbers tested can be found on our partner portal at
