DIN 1.0, 2.3 connections by using any standard PoCXP supported frame grabber.
The PoCXP interface supports power up to 13 W per cable.
CoaXPress physical topology
Each connection provides the following signaling functions:
•
High speed serial (camera to frame grabber down connection), at up to 6.25
Gbps per line
