Teledyne DALSA Unveils Xtium3 PCIe Gen4 Frame Grabber For Ultra-High-Speed Imaging
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 3 (Bernama) -- Teledyne DALSA, a Teledyne Technologies company, announced the launch of the Xtium3 PCIe Gen4 family, its next-generation frame grabber engineered to deliver maximum sustained throughput and ready-to-use image data for high-performance industrial applications.
Building on the proven Xtium2 platform, the first model, Xtium3-CLHS PX8, supports the Camera Link HS (CLHS) standard over the PCI Express Gen 4.0 interface, according to a statement.
This single-slot, single-cable solution accommodates up to seven CLHS lanes, each operating at 10.3125 gigabits per second (Gbps)—delivering a combined 72.2 Gbps, acquisition bandwidths of 8.6 gigabytes per second (GB/s), and host transfer rates of up to 13.2 GB/s via a PCIe Gen4 x8 slot.
The Xtium3 series delivers high-speed data transmission using the CLHS X-protocol, achieving over 97 per cent packet efficiency with 64/66-bit encoding, and supports cable lengths beyond 30 metres with seven-lane AOC cables.
It enables real-time data forwarding to up to 12 computers for distributed image processing, while its PCIe Gen4 architecture ensures optimised throughput directly to host memory, reducing CPU load and accelerating image processing workflows.
The platform is broadly compatible with area and line scan, monochrome and colour cameras, and supports advanced image processing, including multi-plane HDR for Teledyne’s Linea HS2 16K camera.
Fully supported by Teledyne’s Sapera LT Software SDKs and third-party software, the Xtium3 family ensures seamless integration into diverse machine vision environments. This combination of high-speed performance, flexibility, and software support empowers developers and system integrators to build robust imaging solutions with minimal overhead.
The Xtium3 series is designed to meet the demands of modern machine vision systems, offering robust performance, scalability, and flexibility for a wide range of industrial applications.
