Bitflow Inc

Probably the most versatile frame grabbers in the world 

A dedicated USA manufacturer of image acquisition boards which are more than frame grabbers as they offer users a very flexible acquisition system from any analogue or digital image source so they can be used for area scan, line scan or variable scan input formats. When other boards cannot provide a solution Bitflow usually can.

New Product information

The Neon-CLB

Simplify your industrial or semiconductor imaging application with BitFlow's new Neon-CLB, the world's first Power over Camera Link (PoCL) frame grabber. PoCL is the new Camera Link (CL) standard for providing power to the camera over the CL cable. With the Neon-CLB, Camera Link now supports simple, one-cable installations while providing data rates up to 255 megabytes per second!

The Neon-CLB is designed for the OEM that needs the performance of the PCI Express bus, BitFlow's famous industrial quality, and one of the lowest price points in the industry. The Neon-CLB can acquire from all Base CL cameras and has enough industrial I/O to handle even the most complicated synchronization tasks.

Adding the Neon-CLB 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.

If you need the simplest, most reliable, and best performing PoCL frame grabber, call Alrad today to get our OEM-priced Neon-CLB, BitFlow's 4th generation of robust, industrial CL imaging products.

The Neon -CLB2

This new board is for 2 camera applications. 2 base CL cameras can be connected to this board allowing dual camera applications to be undertaken easily and simply. The I/O connection is via a flying lead to the board (like the Karbon-CL). Data sheet to follow shortly.

The Karbon-CL

Karbon-CL is the world's first four-camera PCI Express frame grabber. It can simultaneously acquire from up to four Base CL cameras or two Full CL cameras (including 10-tap CL). It is built on top of BitFlow's FlowThru technology, which provides zero latency access to data, super low CPU usage, and unlimited DMA destination size. The Karbon-CL is the first member of BitFlow's Karbon family, a platform that will host a wide variety of virtual frame grabbers. These virtual frame grabbers can be customized to meet your specific needs.

The Karbon-CL has been designed with two main applications in mind. First, in situations where more than one camera is needed, the Karbon-CL can reduce both the system cost and the hardware footprint by its ability to acquire from up to four cameras. Second, in situations where extremely high data rates and/or frame rates are required, the Karbon-CL has been designed to acqcuire up to 160 bits at 85 MHz pixel clock rate and DMA at data rates up to 2.0 GB/S. For example, the Karbon-CL can acquire simultaneously from two 10-tap CL cameras.
