CoaXPress (CXP) is a prominent global standard for high-speed imaging in professional and industrial applications, including machine vision, medical imaging, life sciences, broadcasting, and defense. It combines the simplicity of coaxial cables with high-speed serial data transmission technology, offering a beneficial solution for imaging and data transmission requirements.
EASii IC has developed CoaXPress IP for both Device and Host applications to meet internal camera and recorder design requirements. The IP is compliant with CoaXPress versions 1.1.1 and 2.0, enabling up to 256 video streams from multiple cameras through 1 to 8 coaxial cable connections. This setup allows a data rate ranging from 1.25 Gbps to 12.5 Gbps per cable, with total transfer rates reaching up to 100 Gbps.
Dynamic link reconfiguration and hardware-based video-stream management are key features, supporting enhanced error detection and recovery. EASii IC offers a comprehensive CoaXPress design environment, including FPGA CoaXPress Device and Host IP cores, with associated hardware like FMC-CXP boards that stack to provide increased bandwidth capabilities.
