Zebra Rapixo CL overview
Zebra Rapixo CL is a family of high-performance PCIe frame grabbers. There are two models:
- Zebra Rapixo CL base model. Zebra Rapixo CL base model supports image capture from up to 2 high-resolution, high-speed video sources that use the Camera Link (CL) communication standard. There are two versions of this model: Zebra Rapixo CL DB and Zebra Rapixo CL SF. Zebra Rapixo CL DB supports acquisition from two Camera Link video sources in Base configuration, and Zebra Rapixo CL SF supports acquisition from one Camera Link video source in Medium, Full, 72-bit, or 80-bit configuration.
- Zebra Rapixo CL Pro. Zebra Rapixo CXP Pro supports the same functionality as the base model, as well as FPGA-based processing offload capabilities (Processing FPGA). There are five versions of this model: Zebra Rapixo CL Pro SF, Zebra Rapixo CL Pro DB, Zebra Rapixo CL Pro QB, and Zebra Rapixo CL Pro DF. Zebra Rapixo CL Pro DB supports acquisition from two Camera Link video sources in Base configuration; Zebra Rapixo CL Pro QB supports acquisition from four of these video sources. Zebra Rapixo CL Pro SF supports acquisition from one Camera Link video source in Medium, Full, 72-bit, or 80-bit configuration; Zebra Rapixo CL Pro DF supports two of these sources.
Zebra Rapixo CL supports area-scan 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 CL can decode Bayer color-encoded images and perform color space conversions while transferring the image to the Host. Besides standard Camera Link video sources, Zebra Rapixo CL also supports additional types of video sources, including some time-multiplexed video sources.
As a Zebra Rapixo CL grabs images, it can vertically or horizontally flip them. In addition, Zebra Rapixo CL can perform color-space conversions, Bayer decoding, and image subsampling.
Note: You can access the latest version of the Zebra Rapixo CL and Rapixo CL Pro Installation and Hardware Reference at zebra.com/rapixo-cl-info and zebra.com/rapixo-cl-pro-info, respectively.

Note on nomenclature
This manual refers to all versions of the Zebra Rapixo CL family of frame grabbers as Zebra Rapixo CL and Zebra Rapixo CL Pro if an on-board processing FPGA is present. When necessary, this manual distinguishes between the Zebra Rapixo CL SF, Zebra Rapixo CL DB, Zebra Rapixo CL Pro SF, Zebra Rapixo CL Pro DB, Zebra Rapixo CL Pro QB, Zebra Rapixo CL Pro DF using their full names.
