BitFlow today launched its Karbon-CXP line of frame grabbers, one of the world's first to incorporate the CoaXPress (CXP) standard for moving high-speed serial data from a camera to a frame grabber. The result is video acquisition at blazing speeds up to 6 Gigabits per second, as well as the ability to send control commands and triggers at 20 Megabits per second - all over a single piece of 75 Ohm coaxial cable up to 135 meters. Additionally up to 13W of power can be transmitted to camera along the cable.

In the world of machine vision and automated optical inspection systems, smart cameras receive a lot of attention. In fact, they are often presented as the favored-if not only solution.
Like PC-based vision systems, which include a camera, frame grabber, commercial motherboard and vision library, smart cameras also have strengths and weaknesses.
Here are 10 truths about smart cameras - from a smart camera and PC-based vision component vendor - to help you determine if they really are the best choice for your next vision application.

Thanks to the GigE-Vision standard, standard Gigabit-Ethernet components can be used in Machine Vision and are already successfully being employed in multiple vision applications. However, the GigE technology can offer more: new topologies make the data stream simultaneously available to various receivers and reaction times can be reduced. more
The camera is a key element in machine vision systems that replace humans in industrial tasks such as inspection, metrology, and sorting. Many factors go into camera selection, however, leaving developers with a bewildering array of options to consider. Answering a few key questions about the specific application can help focus the search and speed selection, but they may not be the questions you expected.
