The PCIe4 DVa FOX is a fiberoptic input frame grabber board for Camera Link digital cameras. One, two or potentially four cameras can be remotely located up to 300 meters from the host computer using standard transceivers, up to 10 kilometers with the extended range option, or even 100 kilometers with special-purpose fiber and transceivers.
The PCIe4 DVa FOX occupies one 4, 8 or 16-lane PCI express slot of the host computer.
An EDT RCX C-Link module converts the Camera Link signals from most digital cameras to fiber optic cable. Alternately, this fiber optic interface may be incorporated in the camera -- contact EDT if you are interested in incorporating the fiber optic interface into your camera.
Each camera must have its own fiber optic interface through which it can communicate with the PCIe4 DVa FOX in the host computer.
The PCIe4 DVa FOX can be used as an input board for RCX C-Link (Camera Link) fiberoptic modules, as in the following block diagrams:
