Overview
The Active Silicon FireBird 4xCOF-12 is a CoaXPress-over-Fiber frame grabber that extends the CoaXPress machine-vision standard onto fiber-optic cabling. It acquires image data at up to 40 Gbps through a four-lane QSFP+ port delivering 4x CXP-12 payloads, and transfers to the host over a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface.
Because fiber is immune to electromagnetic interference and supports multi-kilometre runs, cameras can be placed far from the host in electrically noisy or physically remote installations. Active Silicon's ActiveDMA engine applies RISC-based processing to guarantee high-speed, low-latency transfers with zero CPU intervention, and the board is fully GenICam/GenTL compliant and supported by the ActiveSDK.
Key Benefits
40 Gbps CoaXPress-over-Fiber acquisition · QSFP+ 4-lane optical link · ActiveDMA zero-CPU transfers · multi-km cable reach, EMI-immune · GenICam/GenTL compliant.
Applications
High-throughput industrial inspection, semiconductor and flat-panel display inspection, scientific imaging, and multi-camera systems with long cable runs.
