The Cyton Platform

To develop the Cyton platform we first started with a clean slate and asked ourselves, “What does a next generation frame grabber need?”. For sure, For sure, it needs a high speed back end for the ultimate high speed access to host memory.  It also needs a sophisticated DMA engine to handle the demands of new camera interface standards. New standards demand flexibility. CXP cameras will soon be able to put out streams of random sized ROIs, something our previous generation DMA engine was not capable of. Finally, we know based on years of experience of making frame grabbers that it needs flexible and powerful I/O, triggering, and routing. The CoaXPress front end is based on our Karbon-CXP, but upgraded and ready for the coming changes in the CXP standards. The Cyton platform is the foundation for today and tomorrow’s frame grabbers, whether it’s CoaXPress, Camera Link, or whatever new standards emerge from the Machine Vision industry.

The Cyton CXP4-V is designed for small form factor fanless computers where airflow isn’t sufficient to dissipate the FPGA heat.

Simplify your industrial, medical, or semiconductor imaging application with BitFlow’s Neon-DIF, the easiest to use and most reliable differential frame grabber available anywhere. The Neon-DIF captures images at speeds up to the camera’s highest frame/data rate, with precision image acquisition suitable for the most demanding applications.

The Neon-DIF is designed for the OEM customer looking for the performance of the PCI Express bus, a differential interface, and one of the lowest price points in the industry. The target markets are applications where the current frame grabber is no longer available but the camera and application are still important. Another niche that this product fills is differential applications where the PC needs upgrading, but the frame grabber has a PCI interface. Motherboards with PCI slots are getting harder and harder to find. Finally, customers who want to port their application to 64-bit Windows are finding that their differential frame grabbers are not supported on newer operating systems. The Neon-DIF can handle all of these situations.

The Neon-DIF is not just for legacy situations, however. There are still a tremendous number of devices that output differential data that may not even be cameras. The Neon-DIF can acquire from just about anything and efficiently DMA the data into host memory.

Adding the Neon-DIF to your application is simple with our SDK, which supports both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. The SDK provides high level APIs for sophisticated buffer management and low-level direct access to the board for speedy custom control.
