The Rapixo CL Pro board delivers onboard image processing offload to field-programmable gate array (FPGA) devices, high frame-rate image capture, support for extended cable lengths and image acquisition. All models make use of an FPGA device from the Xilinx Kintex-7 family, integrating control, format and stream logic directly onto the frame grabber itself. Paired with the Matrox FDK development kit, Pro models support development of custom FPGA configurations to relieve the host system of intensive image-processing functions. The device can handle image capture from a range of devices, from a single low-data-rate Camera Link device to multiple maximum-bandwidth Camera Link cameras.
