The PIXCI® EB1P is a low cost, low profile frame grabber with Power over Camera Link (PoCL). The PIXCI EB1P is compatible with all area scan and line scan base configuration Camera Link cameras. Experience high speed, low latency, 2.5 gigabit per second burst image transfers to a PCI Express bus x1 through x16 slot.

The PIXCI® EB1P safely supports PoCL cameras by detecting when a PoCL camera is connected and will disconnect power if it exceeds the specification. Standard base configuration Camera Link cameras are also supported. Meeting the low profile size requirements, the PIXCI EB1P is ideal for use in space saving computers.

The PIXCI® EB1 is the lowest cost Camera Link frame grabber on the market, starting at a $445 price for the non-PoCL version. The PIXCI® EB1 includes EPIX’ XCAP-Lite software and is ready to run with camera specific, integrated, controls for most popular Camera Link cameras and easy-to-use generic configuration controls for other Camera Link cameras.

When the speed of image capture and low latency are important, the PIXCI® EB1 gets the job done without waiting for a network to respond to an image transfer request. The PIXCI® EB1 transfers twice as fast as gigabit Ethernet, three times faster than Firewire, and ten times faster than USB. Images are available in host computer memory within one line time after leaving the camera. The PIXCI® EB1 is the fastest and lowest cost device for high speed, low latency image capture.

The XCAP imaging program supports up to eight PIXCI® EB1 frame grabbers making it possible to use multiple Base configuration Camera Link cameras simultaneously. The XCAP-Std program allows simultaneous use of the PIXCI® EB1 with other EPIX® frame grabbers supporting different camera models, either Camera Link compatible or not. XCAP-Std also offers video-to-disk capture, subject to the performance of the host computer's RAID array.
