Matrox Rapixo CXP is a next-generation frame grabber series supporting CoaXPress 2.0 for machine vision. Available in single, dual, and quad-input configurations, it supports data rates of up to 6.25 Gbps (CXP-6) or 12.5 Gbps (CXP-12) per connection, with PCIe host interface matched to handle maximum input bandwidth.
Key features include high-density BNC connectors, Power-over-CoaXPress (PoCXP) on each connection to combine power and data over a single coaxial cable, connection aggregation on dual and quad models for higher throughput, onboard memory buffering for when the host is temporarily busy, and a fanless design on select models for low-maintenance operation.

BitFlow has been making Camera Link frame grabbers since 1999. With each successive generation of frame grabbers, BitFlow has improved the quality, flexibility and robustness of their interfaces. Meanwhile, much has changed on the backend; PCI to PCIe, Gen 1 to Gen 2, etc. Also the Camera Link Specification had been continuously evolving: 80-bit (10-tap) mode was added, Power over Camera Link (PoCL), new connectors, new tap formats. Even though the specification has been around a long time, it is still one of the simplest, efficient and least expensive ways to get camera data into a computer. It also benefits from 100s of thousands of pieces of CL equipment sold worldwide.
BitFlow has been on top of all these changes and has continuously improved and updated their Camera Link frame grabbers. The Axion-CL is the culmination of all of these improvements, the most powerful CL frame grabber BitFlow has ever manufactured.
The Axion-CL also benefits from other products in BitFlow’s line up. The Axion-CL uses the Cyton-CXP’s backend: the StreamSync DMA engine and buffer manager. A brand new PCIe Gen 2 interface, with DMA optimized for modern (fully loaded, fully busy) computers.
BitFlow has been shipping CoaXPress frame grabbers since 2012. The standard has not stood still and BitFlow has continued to advance its products. The latest is the Claxon, a quad CXP-12 PCIe Gen 3 frame grabber. CXP-12 is the latest CoaXPress speed jump, now transmitting video at 12. 5 Gb/S. While the speed of data through the frame grabber has doubled, the overall architecture has remained the same as the previous generation Cyton, allowing user to easily migrate to the newer cameras without major software changes.
The Claxon CXP4-V is designed for small form factor fanless computers where airflow isn’t sufficient to dissipate the FPGA heat.
