Company introduction
The QFi is officially launched in January.The transition and training with our new colleagues continues and we adopt a new transition logo…Advantech BitFlow. BitFlow continues to produce new solutions for the industry with the QFi being demoed at Vision Stuttgart in October.BitFlow was acquired by Advantech. At the time of acquisition we are the one of the last company’s (globally) to have frame grabbers as our primary source of income.BitFlow launches the Claxon CXP Fiber, the first foray into the world of high speed combined with long distances. This is the second such board in the industry and the first in North America.2021 BitFlow completes the Axion family with the introduction of the Axion xB series. This is the replacement for the Neon family and allows the customer to achieve the Axion benefits with Camera Link Base only solutions. Up to four cameras can be supported running independently or synchronized. Of course this means the retirement of the Neon family, a highly successful board, spanning a period of 14 years in thousands of systems all over the world.The Claxon CXP4, our new high speed frame grabber (CXP-12, 12.5 Gb/S per link over four links) is released. The trend of moving from CL to CXP is continuing as customers are seeing the benefits and advantages of CXP.The Aon is released in March 2017 and is adopted into several single link applications where once a USB3 or GigE camera was the norm. Several models are retired due to part obsolescence and also adoption of new models. The is a distinct trend towards the CXP solution by our customers.BitFlow continues to expand the accessories of frame grabbers with the BitBox. In the past, BitFlow has offered cabling and testing IO Boards, but this leap of engineering enables customers to incorporate their I/O devices directly into the frame grabber.A busy year for the development team at BitFlow. Year 22 sees the arrival of four new frame grabbers. The mindset of BitFlow is to look after all it’s customers including the legacy ones. With that, the Neon DIF was introduced, bringing LVDS to 64 bit systems for the first time. The Cyton family was expanded to include the Cyton CXP2 as the number of cameras with dual link CXP solutions continued to grow. Towards the end of the year, BitFlow affirmed confidence in the Camera Link market by introducing the Axion family, the first BitFlow Camera Link frame grabber to incorporate the experience of the CoaXPress boards into the Camera Link interface. Two models are produced allows for one or two 80-bit cameras to be connected on a single board with a PCIe Gen2 interface…and also with PoCL as an option.BitFlow introduces support for DirectGMA, the AMD GPU option. BitFlow is now the only frame grabber company supporting both NVIDIA and AMD.BitFlow is now exhibiting regularly at trade shows in Europe, Asia and the Americas as the popularity of CoaXPress grows. The prototype of the Axion is shown at Vision in Stuttgart.BitFlow releases the Cyton CXP4. The Cyton is a leap forward for many reasons. It’s a quad link CXP-6 frame grabber, representing the the highest input data rate of any frame grabber made by BitFlow. Acquisition and DMA are handled by a brand new, design-from-scratch, StreamSync Engine. The StreamSync engine has been designed to take maximal use of the available PCIe DMA bandwidth, while being incredibly flexible with regards to acquisition. The power of the StreamSync engine will become more important as new cameras come out with complicated ROI capabilities. The Cyton has too many innovations to list here, but it go down as one of BitFlow biggest technology leaps.
