Advantech Frame Grabber Cards
Advantech PCI Express frame grabber cards for machine vision cameras: Camera Link (Axion, 1 – 4 cameras), CoaXPress CXP-6 / CXP-12 (Cyton, Claxon; 2 – 4 cameras, GPUDirect), USB3 Vision (4 / 8 ports, independent controllers) and PoE+ GigE / 10GigE Vision (2 / 4 ports, 60 W power budget). Advantech “Video & Vision Cards → Frame Grabbers” category.
A frame grabber is the card that brings the image stream of an industrial camera onto the computer’s PCI Express bus. Advantech’s Frame Grabbers category covers four camera interfaces: Camera Link cards (BitFlow Axion design) for high-frame-rate line and area scan cameras, CoaXPress cards (Cyton CXP-6, Claxon CXP-12) for up to 12.5 Gbit/s of data and PoCXP power on a single coaxial cable, USB3 Vision cards with an independent controller per port for multi-camera setups, and PoE+ GigE and 10GigE Vision cards to both power and read cameras over Ethernet. All cards are half-size PCIe and come with Windows / Linux drivers; the Camera Link and CoaXPress cards support x86 and ARM64 (NVIDIA Jetson) platforms. This page has the cards and comparison tables of the 15 models plus the list of cameras and video capture cards from the Advantech selection guide.

Which frame grabber fits your camera?
Share the camera interface (Camera Link / CoaXPress / USB3 / GigE), the number of cameras, the bandwidth required and the PoE / PoCXP power needs, the host PCIe slot and the operating system; let’s decide on the card, the cables and, if needed, the industrial computer together. FST pairs HIKROBOT cameras with Advantech frame grabbers and provides commissioning services.
