Specification summary

CoaXPress Interface:	Two 75 Ohm HD-BNC connectors (also known as Micro-BNC) each operate at all CXP speeds up to 12.5 Gbps. To power cameras, up to 17W is available on each HD-BNC via Power over CoaXPress (PoCXP), with 13W available at the camera according to the CoaXPress specification. The FireBird Dual CXP-12 low profile frame grabber supports one camera using both connections, or two cameras each using each using one connection. LEDs on the end bracket show the link status according to the CoaXPress specification.
Buffer Memory:	Up to 2GBytes of DDR4 memory is fitted for buffering between the CoaXPress interface and the PCI Express bus.
PCI Express:	PCIe 3.0 (Gen3) four-lane interface to support up to 3.4 Gbytes/sec transfer from FireBird to the PC.
I/O:	The following I/O lines are available for triggers, optical shaft encoders, exposure control and general I/O: 4 opto-isolated inputs. 4 opto-isolated outputs. 4 TTL inputs, 5V tolerant. 4 TTL I/O, 5V logic. 4 RS-422 inputs. 4 RS-422 outputs. All these I/O signals are provided on a 50-way header on the FireBird board. A 15-way D-Type connector is located on the end panel bracket and allows access to a subset of the above I/O: 2 opto-isolated inputs. 3 TTL I/O, 5V logic. 2 RS-422 inputs. 1 RS-422 output.
Power Input:	A 6-way PCI Express Graphics (PEG) connector is provided to connect to a 6-way PEG connector from the PC power supply. This is only needed for PoCXP.

Conformance

PCI Express Interface:

PCIe 3.0 (Gen3) four-lane interface with a max payload size of 512 bytes.

The FireBird Dual CXP-12 low profile frame grabber supports both Short (32-bit) and Long (64-bit) Address packets. It also generates Posted Writes for image data, thus achieving transfer rates up to 3.4 Gbytes/sec, subject to host performance.

CoaXPress:

The FireBird Dual CXP-12 conforms to v2.1 of the CoaXPress specification.

Approvals:

CE-mark for compliance with EMC EN 55022:2010 (class A) and EN 55024:2010 in accordance with EU directive 2014/30/EU.
RoHS compliance to RoHS3 directive 2015/863/EU.

EMC FCC Class A.

The printed circuit board is manufactured by UL recognized manufacturers and has a flammability rating of 94V-0.
