Apollo Frame Grabber

The Apollo series is a high-performance PCIe GEN3 frame grabber designed to support a sustainable transfer of 100Gb/s over long cable distances.

The frame grabber card supports two bi-directional QSFP28 modules to enable multi-lane optical transceivers.​ The onboard high-performance Xilinx Ultrascale FPGA and support for DMA transfer can be utilized to offload CPU utilization.​The Apollo card is GenICam​ compliant and fully supported by the free FocalPoint SDK.

A powerful card at a glance:

- Supports all Prodrive Area Scan and TDI cameras

- Offload CPU utilization by Direct Memory transfer of image data

- Never miss a frame through an extensive onboard buffer memory

- Fully GenICam compliant

- Supported by the FocalPoint-SDK

- Support for Linux & Windows

Focalpoint, free Vision SDK + Control GUI

FocalPoint is an image acquisition and control software development toolkit designed for the Apollo series frame grabbers and their corresponding cameras.

It provides a visually intuitive interface, allowing users to configure the frame grabber and connected cameras while facilitating smooth acquisition with live image previews. This toolkit allows users to effortlessly configure the frame grabber and connected cameras while facilitating seamless acquisition with live image previews.

Complementing this toolkit is FocalPointSDK, an open -source library tailored for GenTL consumer applications. With a C++ abstraction layer over the GenTL C interface, it streamlines resource management and simplifies the image acquisition process.

Key highlights of FocalPointSDK include loading GenTL CTI files, enumerating interfaces and devices, parsing GenAPI register description files, and accessing GenAPI features SDK FocalPointSDK is a library for GenTL consumer applications. It provides a C++ abstraction for the GenTL C interface and as such aims to simplify resource management as well as image acquisition.
