Zebra Rapixo CXP overview
Zebra Rapixo CXP is a family of high-performance PCIe frame grabbers. There are two models:
- Zebra Rapixo CXP base model. Zebra Rapixo CXP base model supports image capture from up to 4 high-resolution, high-speed video sources that use the CoaXPress (CXP) communication standard. There are five versions of the Zebra Rapixo CXP base model: Single, Dual, Quad CXP-6, Quad CXP-12, and Quad Data Forwarding.
- Zebra Rapixo CXP Pro. Zebra Rapixo CXP Pro supports the same functionality as the base model, as well as FPGA-based processing offload capabilities (Processing FPGA). There is only one version of this model: Pro Quad CXP-12.
Zebra Rapixo CXP 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 Rapixo CXP can decode Bayer color-encoded images and perform color space conversions while transferring the images to the Host. In addition, it can vertically and horizontally flip them and perform subsampling.
Zebra Rapixo CXP can receive images from each video source at up to the maximum CXP-6 or CXP-12 speed (depending on the model of the board and camera). Using link aggregation, the bandwidth of a link can be increased to 4 times the maximum CXP-6 and CXP-12 speeds for a single video source. Zebra Rapixo CXP provides up to 13 W of power per CoaXPress connection to any device that supports power-over-CoaXPress (PoCXP).

Note on nomenclature
This manual refers to all versions of the board as Zebra Rapixo CXP. When necessary, this manual distinguishes between the boards using their full names (for example, Zebra Rapixo CXP Quad CXP-6, Zebra Rapixo CXP Quad CXP-12, or Zebra Rapixo CXP Pro Quad CXP-12), or their abbreviated forms (Quad CXP-6, Quad CXP-12, and Pro Quad CXP-12).
