Overview

CoaXPress is a digital interface for high-speed video transmission, and the standard was established by JIIA (Japan Industrial Imaging Association). Using a 75 Ω coaxial cable, the standard not only achieves high-speed transmission of up to 12.5 Gbps per cable from the camera to the host, but also enables transmission of control packets and triggers from the host to the camera, as well as power supply. increase.

As a layer on top of the CoaXPress standard, the GenICam ™ (Generic Interface for Cameras) standard must be supported. We have a track record of GenICam with GigE Vision® and USB3 Vision®, and CoaXPress IP also comes with a software library that can easily realize the GenICam standard.

Device usage resources

This is an example of resource usage for the IP part alone.

Reference Design Software Architecture

• The main functions of GenICam and CoaXPress are provided as libraries whose operation has been confirmed.
• XML File is generated from GenICam Device Library based on parameters set in GenICam Device Firmware section

デモ構成 / 評価システム

• The IP Package includes a reference design that allows you to check the operation of the Macnica CoaXPress 2.0 FMC Card and Intel Arria 10 GX FPGA Development Kit or Cyclone 10 GX FPGA Development Kit. The reference design has a pattern generator as a video source, and the video can be displayed on a commercially available grabber board. It also supports GenICam, and it is also possible to control patterns and video format switching from the grabber side. An evaluation version package is also available. Please contact us.
