KC-GM1X Multiplexer: Streamlined, High-Speed Machine Vision Integration
In modern industrial imaging, speed, efficiency, and simplified system design are critical. The Kowa KC-GM1X Multiplexer is engineered to meet those demands, making multi-camera machine vision setups faster, cleaner, and easier to manage. Designed to convert CoaXPress (CXP) signals to GigE Vision, it not only reduces system complexity but also optimizes performance for applications where every millisecond counts.
Simplified Multi-Camera Connectivity
The KC-GM1X can connect up to four KC48XS1MX CXP cameras at once, seamlessly combining their outputs into a single GigE Vision connection. This consolidation eliminates the need for multiple network interfaces and reduces cabling requirements — resulting in a cleaner, more efficient installation.
Built for High-Speed Image Processing
Handling image streams from up to four cameras simultaneously, the KC-GM1X is an excellent fit for time-critical tasks such as high-speed inspection, packaging verification, and sorting systems. By enabling synchronized multi-angle image capture, it enhances inspection accuracy while maintaining rapid throughput.
