Matrox Radient eV-CLHS Value-packed high-performance Camera Link HS™ frame grabber High-performance Camera Link HS frame grabber Benefits Capture from the next generation of higher resolution and higher speed cameras using the Camera Link HS M-Protocol interface. Ensure reliable delivery to host memory by way of PCIe® 2.0 x8 host interface and ample on-board buffering. Maximize PC compatibility and minimize slot usage through a halflength design with video input and auxiliary I/Os on the same bracket. Offload host processing with on-board Bayer interpolation, color space conversion and look up tables. Simplify application development using the Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) toolkit on 64-bit Windows® 7/8(.1), Linux®1 and RTX641 (RTOS). The Matrox Radient eV-CLHS is one of the first frame grabbers in the industry to support the new Camera Link HS camera interface standard. As a new addition to the Radient eV-series, the Radient eV-CLHS continues to build on the family’s tradition as a cost-effective frame grabber while providing reliable high-performance image acquisition for demanding machine vision applications. A major step with Camera Link HS Camera Link HS (CLHS) brings improvements to the field-proven Camera Link2 standard by offering upgraded performance, higher data bandwidth and longer cable reach, to ensure its longevity as a leading camera interface standard for the foreseeable future. CLHS is designed to support copper connections encoded using 8b/10b technology (M-Protocol). This delivers data transmission rates of up to 2.1 GB/s per cable at up to 15m with a copper cable. In addition to data transmission, CLHS also embeds trigger signals, GPIOs and a command channel between the camera and frame grabber into the same single cable to simplify system connectivity. These new features provide CLHS with the means and flexibility to adapt to the needs of differing and demanding imaging applications. Reliable high-performance image acquisition The Matrox Radient eV-CLHS offers a single CX4 (copper) connector as per CLHS’s M-protocol specification, supporting 7 data lanes and 1 command channel, each running at 3.125 Gbit/s. This enables image acquisition from CLHS cameras at up to 2.1GB/s at distances of up to 15m. To reliably handle these high data rates, the Matrox Radient eV-CLHS uses a PCIe® 2.0 x8 host interface – with a peak transfer rate of up to 4GB/s – combined with up to 2GB SDRAM of on-board buffering. The frame grabber can also offload the host CPU from having to perform image pre-processing task (i.e., Bayer interpolation, color space conversion, and LUT mapping). Maximizing PCIe® slot efficiency, The Matrox Radient eV-CLHS provides a set of auxiliary I/Os on the same bracket as the CX4 connector for interfacing with rotary encoders, photoelectric sensors and strobe controllers, all in a true single PCIe® slot solution.

Lifecycle managed for consistent long term supply Each component on the Matrox Radient eV-CLHS was carefully selected to ensure product availability in excess of five years. The Matrox Radient eV-CLHS is also subject to strict change control to provide consistent supply. Longevity of stable supply lets you achieve maximum return on the original investment by minimizing the costs associated with the repeated validation of constantlychanging products. Field-proven application development software The Matrox Radient eV-CLHS is supported by Matrox Imaging Library (MIL), a comprehensive...
