Cameras with Four 8-Bit Outputs or 32 Total Data Bits
The PIXCI® D32 is a PCI imaging board for digital output cameras. A single board provides an interface for up to 4 digital outputs, or 32 total data bits, at the maximum sustained data transfer rate of the PCI bus (approximately 105 MB/s). As an example, the DALSA MotionVision and Piranha cameras have four 8-bit outputs for a total of 32 data bits. These cameras operate at 25 MHz resulting in a data stream of 100 MB/s. A single PIXCI® D32, installed in a state-of-the-art computer system, provides video rate (100 MB/s) image capture to the limit of the computer's available memory.

Cameras with More than 32 Data Bits on One PCI Bus
The use of two PIXCI® D32 imaging boards on a single PCI bus provides an interface for up to 64 data bits. The SMD 1M60-10 camera (48 bits, 1Kx1K @ 30 fps) uses two PIXCI®  D32 boards on a single PCI bus.

Capture Up To 200 MB/s with a Dual PCI Bus PC
Two PIXCI® D32 boards in a dual PCI bus computer, captures up to 200 MB/s to computer memory. Cameras that use this new interfacing option include the DALSA CT-F3-4096W TDI line scan (200 MB/s, 4096 pixels @44KHz), the SMD 1M60-20 area scan (120 MB/s, 1Kx1K @ 60 fps), and the SMD 4M15 area scan (120 MB/s, 2Kx2K @ 15 fps).

Dual (Stereo) High Bandwidth Cameras
Two DALSA MotionVision cameras (100 MB/s, 4 outputs at 8 bits each) interface to two PIXCI® D32 imaging boards installed in a dual PCI bus computer. This configuration allows the real time capture of two (stereo) image sequences, 512x512 resolution at 262 fps from the DALSA CA-D6-0512W, or 256x256 resolution at 955 fps from the DALSA CA-D6-0256W.
