BitFlow Shipping its First CoaXPress 2.0 Frame Grabber

For over two decades, BitFlow has been known for pushing the limits of what a frame grabber could do in machine vision systems. Today, BitFlow pushed those limits even further by shipping its new Claxon-CXP4, a quad CoaXPress-12 PCIe Gen 3 frame grabber that accelerates video transmission speed to 12.5 Gb/s -- or twice as fast as the current CXP 1.1 standard. Now in full production, the new frame grabber will be shipping this month and available through BitFlow's international distributor network.
