Neousys PCIe-USB381F frame grabber expansion card

Neousys’s PCIe-USB381F is an industrial-grade, 8-port, USB 3.1 Gen1 (formerly USB 3.0) frame grabber/host adapter card for machine vision applications. Featuring x4 PCI Express Gen2 interface and four Fresco FL1100SX HCI controllers, the product can provide a sustained data transfer rate of up to 400 MBps per port with four USB3 cameras operating simultaneously, or provide a total bandwidth of 1600 MBps when eight cameras are plugged in.

All eight USB ports are accessible on the faceplate for easy cabling. Each port can deliver standard 900 mA regulated 5 V output to power USB3 cameras or user-configurable 1800 mA output via onboard jumpers for devices that require higher power consumption. It also supports software-programmable per-port power on/off control to reset cameras or other devices for fault recovery.

The steady 400 MBps data satisfies the bandwidth requirement of most off-the-shelf industrial USB3 cameras. Pairing 5 VDC power output and per-port on/off control, the device can benefit vision-related applications such as machine vision, factory automation and medical imaging.
