Board summary 57
Technical features
• Has a x8 PCIe 2.1-compatible (Quad CXP-6) or 3.1-compatible
(Quad CXP-12/Pro Quad CXP-12) Host interface.
• Supports 4 independent CoaXPress connections (up to 4 CXP streams total).
Image data can be transmitted at up to 6.25 Gbits/sec (Quad CXP-6) or up to
12.5 Gbits/sec (Quad CXP-12/Pro Quad CXP-12) per connection.
• Supports frame and line-scan video sources. The minimum and maximum
number of pixels per line are 33 bytes and 16 Mbytes, respectively.
• Supports video sources with a Bayer color filter. Bayer color encoded images (GB,
BG, GR, and RG pattern support) are converted to multi-band RGB images using
a 2x2 average demosaicing algorithm.
• Can convert 8- or 16-bit monochrome data or 24- or 48-bit packed BGR data to
8- or 16-bit monochrome, 24- or 48-bit packed/planar BGR, 32-bit packed
BGRa, 16-bit YUV (YUYV), or 16-bit YCbCr format.
• Provides power-over-CoaXPress (PoCXP), with up to 13 W per connection at a
nominal voltage of 24 V, to any PoCXP-compliant device. For PoCXP, the internal
auxiliary 12 V power connector must be connected to the computer’s power supply
cable that has a 6-pin, compatible, mating 12 V connector. The board is equipped
with an overcurrent protection mechanism and a resettable fuse. The fuse can
sustain a current of 1 A.
• Has 4 Gbytes (Quad CXP-6/Quad CXP-12) or 8 Gbytes (Pro Quad CXP-12) of
DDR4 SDRAM. Total memory bandwidth of up to 14.9 Bytes/sec
(Quad CXP-6),19.2 Gbytes/sec (Quad CXP-12), or 38.4 Gbytes/sec
(Pro Quad CXP-12).
• Has on-board programmable lookup tables (LUTs). These can map 8-bit, 10-bit,
and 12-bit data (monochrome or color). When a link is receiving color data, all
bands of the data use the same specified LUT mapping. As soon as one link is
receiving 12-bit data, all links (CoaXPress connections) share the same specified
LUT mapping. Data of other depths are mapped through transparent LUTs.
