BitFlow Frame Grabbers Are A Less Expensive, Higher Performance Alternative for Industrial and Machine Vision Applications

Analog, Digital and Camera Link camera Frame Grabbers able to meet the demands of Industrial and Medical applications that frequently require:

• High data rates,
• Wide camera/application control flexibility,
• Zero-latency data transfers of camera data to host memory with near zero CPU usage,
• Multiple cameras,
• Numerous triggering modes,
• Support for up to 64 bit versions of Windows and Linux to address more than 4 GB of RAM
• and more...

is what BitFlow has come to offer at a much lower price than the competition.

BitFlow, a leading manufacturer of high performance Analog, Digital and Camera Link camera interface products (Frame Grabbers) for the imaging industry has earned a solid reputation of manufacturing products that meet the demands of high performance industrial applications in areas where other frame grabbers tend to fall flat.

The advantages I have found as to why Integrators and OEMs should consider BitFlow:

• They offer support for hundreds of off-the-shelf and proprietary Analog, LVDS, RS422 cameras and ALL Camera Link cameras
• They have a common hardware platform for line scan and area scan cameras
• A flexible camera control architecture supports most camera modes
• Most PCI Express bus products with exceptional performance
• Support for multiple cameras per frame grabber
• Support for Full and 10-tap cameras (up to 2 per frame grabber!)
• Support for numerous triggering modes (Nearly any customer triggering scheme can be supported)
• Support for 64 bit versions of Windows and 32 bit and 64 bit Linux to address more than 4 GB of RAM (Basically as much as the computer's motherboard can handle!)
• PRODUCT LIFE LONGEVITY!
  • BitFlow frame grabbers have a reputation of workin hard and for long periods of time (10+ years!)
  • All four generations of frame grabbers (since 1997) are still in full production and available for integration into new or old applications!
• Compatible with third party software INCLUDING Cognex VisionPro software
