Bitflow CLX-PC3-FXP4 Claxon Fiber CXPoF Frame Grabber

BitFlow has been shipping CoaXPress frame grabbers since 2012. The standard has not stood still and BitFlow has continued to advance its products. The latest is the Claxon, a quad CXP-12 PCIe Gen 3 frame grabber. CXP-12 is the latest CoaXPress speed jump, now transmitting video at 12. 5 Gb/S. While the speed of data through the frame grabber has doubled, the overall architecture has remained the same as the previous generation Cyton, allowing user to easily migrate to the newer cameras without major software changes.

Another thing to consider is that fiber is immune to electrical noise.

All currently CoaXPress data rates are supported, up to 12 Gb/S.

Features:

• Immunity to electrical noise
• Lighter, smaller size than copper
• Bandwidth up to 50 Gbps per fiber
• Long distances without repeaters
• Easier to install, weather resistant
• Half-Size x8 PCI Express Gen 3.0
• CoaXPress 1.1/2.0 compliant
• Supports all QFSP+ transceivers
• Supports one quad, two dual, or four single-link cameras
