Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between CoaXPress and Camera Link?

CoaXPress offers higher bandwidth (up to 12.5 Gbps per link) and longer cable lengths (up to 100m) compared to Camera Link. Camera Link provides more deterministic timing but is limited to shorter cables and lower bandwidth.

Are your frame grabbers compatible with third-party cameras?

Yes, our frame grabbers are designed to work with any camera that conforms to the respective interface standard (CoaXPress, Camera Link, USB3 Vision, or GigE Vision). We maintain a comprehensive camera compatibility database.

What operating systems are supported?

Our frame grabbers support Windows 10/11, Windows Server 2016/2019/2022, and various Linux distributions including Ubuntu, CentOS, and Debian. Specific version compatibility is detailed in our documentation.

How do I determine which frame grabber is right for my application?

Consider factors like required bandwidth, number of cameras, cable length, synchronization needs, and environmental conditions. Our application engineers can provide a personalized recommendation based on your specific requirements.
