Video stream acquisition
Predator is designed to acquire different video streams compliant with CoaXPress standard
1.0 over up to 4 CoaXPress links.
When connected to transmitting device, the frame grabber communicates with Camera
device to determine link parameters, such as data rate.
For different options please refer to Vision Point Application User Manual.
Auxiliary Input/Output signals
The auxiliary signal of Predator board can be used to initiate on-board events, transmitted
to other devices or rerouted from other signals, such as CoaXPress triggers and GPIO’s.
Additionally, these auxiliary signals can be used to communicate with complex devices,
such as encoders, strobe controls and drive controls.
The GPIOs can be controlled from the Vision Point API and be set as a trigger sources.
The API enables routing of any input to any output as well as to the CXP IO and Trigger
lines. Please see a KAYA Frame Grabbers Programming Guide for more information
regarding the GPIO configuration.
The Predator’s GPIO is routed to single IO header with 2.54 mm (100 th) pitch.
