Introducing The Aon-CXP

The Aon-CXP is low cost single link CoaX-Press frame grabber. While it looks tiny, it has all the power of its big brother, the Cyton-CXP. It supports CXP camera speeds up to 6.25 Gb/S. The technology that Machine Vision components are built on are advancing rapidly in performance, while size and costs are plummeting. CoaXPress cameras, which traditionally were power hungry, large and expensive, are now small, cool and affordable. Single link cameras are coming out that are 29mm cubes. The Aon CXP has been designed for this low cost/high performance market.

Aon-CXP vs. Other Standards

A small footprint single link CXP camera mated with the Aon-CXP can provide all the convenience of a GigE Vision or USB3 Vision camera system. It can compete on price; can exceed the cable lengths and can at least double the data rate. Further it can provide a host of Machine Vision features missing from GigE Vision or USB3 Vision camera sys-tems (triggers, encoders, strobe, waveform generators, quadrature encoder support, etc.). Also, because of the Aon’s advanced DMA engine, no CPU resources are used in moving images to host memory.
