Zebra Radient eV-CL overview

Zebra Radient eV-CL is a family of high-performance PCIe frame grabbers:

  • Zebra Radient eV-CL. Zebra Radient eV-CL supports image capture from up to 4 video sources that use the Camera Link (CL) communication standard, depending on the version. There are 7 versions of Zebra Radient eV-CL available: Zebra Radient eV-CL SB, Zebra Radient eV-CL x4 DB, Zebra Radient eV-CL x4 SF, Zebra Radient eV-CL x8 SF, Zebra Radient eV-CL x8 DB, Zebra Radient eV-CL DF, and Zebra Radient eV-CL QB.

Zebra Radient eV-CL supports frame and line-scan, monochrome and color video sources. The color video sources can be RGB video sources or video sources with a Bayer color filter. Zebra Radient eV can decode Bayer color-encoded images and perform color space conversions while transferring the images to the Host. In addition, it can vertically or horizontally flip them and perform subsampling.

Zebra Radient eV-CL supports up to 4 Base or 2 Full/80-bit mode Camera Link connections, depending on the version of the board, as well as providing Power-over-Camera Link (PoCL) support.

Note on nomenclature

This manual refers to all versions of the board as Zebra Radient eV-CL. Zebra Radient eV-CL refers to Zebra Radient eV-CL SB, Zebra Radient eV-CL SF, Zebra Radient eV-CL DF, Zebra Radient eV-CL DB, and Zebra Radient eV-CL QB versions. When necessary, this manual distinguishes between the Zebra products using their full names.

Footnotes

  1. Zebra Radient eV has 128 Mbytes of acquisition memory mapped onto the PCIe bus. You can use a Host pointer to access this memory, or you can access it directly from another DMA capable PCIe device; this memory is referred to as shared memory.
