The Neon-CLQ
Please note that this product is EOL and should not be used for new projects. For the replacement frame grabber, please use the Axion 4xB
The Neon-CLQ supports capture from four cameras simultaneously. All of the cameras can be run completely independent (with different resolutions, frame rates, triggering modes, etc.) or perfectly synchronized. The Neon-CLQ is incredibly flexible and powerful, yet it can substantially lower your system cost. Although the Neon-CLQ only requires a single PCIe slot it provides four camera interfaces plus I/O. This means the Neon-CLQ hits the highest density of cameras per slot of any frame grabber on the market while bringing the cost per camera down to unprecedented lows. At this price per camera, the Neon-CLQ can compete with mainstream network cameras while still providing all the robust industrial features expected when using a frame grabber.
Adding the Neon-CLQ to your application is simple with our SDK, which supports both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. Develop your application using our sophisticated buffer management APIs, or download our free drivers, available for most 3rd party machine vision packages. The Neon-CLQ is software compatible with the single camera Neon-CLB, thus making the number of cameras in a system a manufacturing time decision.
