Teledyne Dalsa Xtium CL MX4 capture card
The Teledyne Dalsa Xtium CL MX4 is a half-length PCIe Gen 2.0 ×4 acquisition card built for Cameralink camera systems. It suits machine-vision engineers and integrators who need reliable frame-grabber performance in industrial imaging applications. The card delivers up to 1.7GB/s bandwidth on Gen 2.0 slots and falls back to 850MB/s on Gen 1.0 slots. It targets users acquiring from Base, Medium, Full or 80-bit Cameralink cameras.
Installation notes for the Xtium CL MX4
The half-length form factor fits most standard PCIe slots without bracket modification. Ensure the slot provides Gen 2.0 ×4 electrical connectivity for full 1.7GB/s throughput; Gen 1.0 slots work but limit bandwidth to 850MB/s. Drivers must match the host operating system and Cameralink Rev 2.0 specification. Common issues include insufficient PCIe lane allocation and missing PoCL power configuration for camera supply.
Pre-purchase checklist for the Xtium CL MX4
Verify that your cameras use Cameralink Base, Medium, Full or 80-bit (Deca) interfaces and that pixel clocks do not exceed 85MHz. Confirm mono pixel depths up to 16-bit or RGB up to 12-bit meet application requirements. Check that the host system has a free PCIe ×4 slot (Gen 1.0 or 2.0) and that PoCL support is needed for camera power. The card does not support non-Cameralink interfaces.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the Dalsa Xtium CL MX4 is capturing at the full 1.7 GB/s after installation?
Check the host system reports a PCIe Gen 2.0 ×4 link and monitor the driver’s throughput counter; sustained rates near 1.7 GB/s confirm the card is operating at its rated bandwidth.
What comes with the Dalsa Xtium CL MX4 and which cables must be purchased separately?
The half-length PCIe Gen 2.0 ×4 capture card is supplied; Camera Link cables for Base, Medium, Full or 80-bit cameras and any PoCL power cables are not included and must be bought separately.
Which camera configuration should I choose — two Base cameras or one Medium, Full or 80-bit camera — for the Dalsa Xtium CL MX4?
Select two Base cameras for dual independent streams up to 85 MHz pixel clock, or one Medium, Full or 80-bit camera when a single higher-tap image up to 16-bit mono or 12-bit RGB is required.
