Multi-Stream Acquisition
Applies to the following firmware variants of 
(1-camera, 4-data-stream)
4-data-stream concurrent acquisition
The 1-camera, 4-data-stream firmware variant of 1633 Coaxlink Quad G3 and 1633-LH Coaxlink Quad G3 LH allows to connect one area-scan CoaXPress camera that delivers up to 4 independent data streams.
The frame grabber sorts the incoming CoaXPress data blocks according to the value of the 2 least significant bits of the CoaXPress StreamID and feeds four independent data paths.
Each data path is capable of handling the full CoaXPress link bandwidth, namely 2.5 Gigabytes/s.
It includes:
| 1. | A 256 MB image data partition, |
| 2. | A pixel processor that allows to align 10/12/14-bit data to the LSB or to the MSB of a 16-bit container, |
| 3. | A DMA engine that transfers image data directly to the user memory space of the Host PC. |
The multistream sample program shows how to create 4 instances of EGrabber and start acquisition on 4 concurrent data streams.
