Description
Grablink Quickpack CFA —Color Filter Array— is a flexible and high-performance image acquisition and pre-processing board, dedicated to area-scan color inspection. A set of dedicated on-board pre-processing functions speeds up image processing for applications such as PCB, food or pharmaceutical inspection without loading the host CPU.
These functions include a Bayer pattern decoder and a luminance blender providing simultaneous Y and RGB output —planar or packed— for monochrome and color inspection. An optional white balance is computed from automatically selected white pixels or from a user-defined ROI. Finally, four independent LUT operators are available for the R, G, B and Y components.
Grablink Quickpack CFA interfaces with Base configuration Camera Link area-scan cameras up to 85 MHz, and it processes 8-, 10- or 12-bit images. Grablink Quickpack CFA has a 128 MB memory and features nine general-purpose I/O lines to ease the board integration into industrial systems. The on-board FPGA accelerates the images pre-processing for 8-, 10- or 12-bit images and up to 80 MPixels/s.
Grablink Quickpack CFA is available in two types.
- Grablink Quickpack CFA (PCI) — 64-bit, 66-MHz Conventional PCI, 128-MB memory, and a delivery bandwidth up to 240 MB/s.
- Grablink Quickpack CFA PCIe — 4-lane PCI Express, 128-MB memory, and a delivery bandwidth up to 320 MB/s.
Note. Grablink Quickpack CFA fully complies with FCC and CE EMC —electromagnetic compatibility— international standards. Grablink Quickpack CFA PCIe is a PoCL Safe Power compliant frame grabber.
