JPEG Encoding
(4-camera)
The 3620 Coaxlink Quad CXP-12 JPEG is a four-connection CoaXPress CXP-12 frame grabber fitted with embedded CFA decoders and JPEG encoders.
The 4-camera firmware variant implements 4 independent channels composed with:
□ | A 1-connection CoaXPress CXP-12 Host interface with PoCXP and Camera triggering capabilities, |
□ | An acquisition gate that selects the frames to capture, |
□ | A 512 MB FIFO buffer that provides a large elastic buffer, |
□ | A Bayer CFA decoder that converts the Bayer8 camera data stream into an RGB8 stream using the advanced algorithm, |
□ | A JPEG encoder including an RGB8 to YUV422 converter front-end and a baseline ISO/IEC 10918-1 compliant JPEG encoder, |
□ | A down-scaler that reduces by a factor of 8 the RGB8 image resolution in both directions. |
Camera requirements
□ | 8-bit Bayer CFA area-scan color camera, |
□ | Image resolutions (H x V) : from 128 x 16 up to 5120 x 3840, with both width and height multiples of 8, |
□ | CXP-1 up to CXP-12 CoaXPress interface. |
