The Neon family is growing. It started with the Neon-CLB, the world’s first PoCL frame grabber that provided Base Camera Link acquisition on an OEM priced platform. Now comes the Neon-CLD which supports two cameras on the same low cost x4 PCIe platform. Both cameras can be completely independent with different resolutions, frame rates, triggering modes, etc. Or both cameras can be perfectly synchronized. The Neon-CLD is incredibly flexible and powerful, yet it can substantially lower your system cost. Not only is the Neon-CLD very aggressively priced, but there are additional savings from connecting two cameras to one frame grabber

Adding the Neon-CLD to your application is simple with our SDK, which supports both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. Develop your application using our sophisticated buffer management APIs, or download our free drivers, available for most 3rd party machine vision packages. The Neon-CLD is software compatible with the single camera Neon-CLB, thus making the number of cameras in a system a manufacturing time decision.

If you need the simplest, most reliable, and best performing dual Base Camera Link/PoCL frame grabber, call BitFlow today to get our Neon-CLD, BitFlow’s 4th generation of robust, industrial CL imaging products.
