VERSIONS
PIXCI EB1mini
The PIXCI EB1mini frame grabber provides a vertical Camera Link SDR connector with FPGA on a single printed circuit board using a full size mini card slot. At the maximum Camera Link clock rate of 85 MHz, passive Camera Link cables up to 10 meters long can be used.
Dimensions:
– Full mini circuit board: 50.95 x 30.0 mm (2.006 x 1.181 inches)
PIXCI EB1miniH
The PIXCI EB1miniH has an SDR Camera Link connector and FPGA on a separate circuit board for mounting to the side of a small chassis. Two very flexible cables connect to a half length Mini card for the PCI express connection. This allows for more mounting options in space constrained embedded systems that have half length mini PCIe slots or full length slots that have a half length mounting standoff. At the maximum Camera Link clock rate of 85 MHz, passive Camera Link cables up to 10 meters long can be used.
Dimensions:
– FPGA circuit board: 66.04 x 30.0 mm (2.6 x 1.181 inches)
– Half mini circuit board: 26.8 x 30.0 mm (1.055 x 1.181 inches)
– Cable length between circuit boards shown: 30.48 mm (12 inches)
PIXCI EB1miniG
The PIXCI® EB1miniG has the Camera Link connector on a separate circuit board and connects to the FPGA circuit board with very flexible cables. This version requires less space on the panel for more mounting options in space constrained embedded systems with a full size mini card PCIe slot. It is available with an MDR or SDR Camera Link connector, and is shown here with an SDR. At the maximum Camera Link clock rate of 85 MHz, passive Camera Link cables up to 7 meters long can be used.
Dimensions:
– Full mini circuit board: 50.95 x 30.0 mm (2.006 x 1.181 inches)
– Connector circuit board: 38.354 x 30.0 mm (1.51 x 1.181 inches)
– Cable length between circuit boards shown: 30.48 cm (12 inches)
PIXCI EB1miniGC
The PIXCI EB1miniGC has the Camera Link connector on a separate circuit board and connects to the FPGA circuit board with very flexible cables and secure quick release connectors. Available with an MDR or SDR Camera Link connector, and is shown here with an SDR. At the maximum Camera Link clock rate of 85 MHz, passive Camera Link cables up to 7 meters long can be used.
Dimensions:
– Full mini circuit board: 50.95 x 30.0 mm (2.006 x 1.181 inches)
– Connector circuit board: 38.354 x 30.0 mm (1.51 x 1.181 inches)
– Cable length between circuit boards shown: 30.48 cm (6 inches)
PIXCI EB1miniGM
The PIXCI EB1miniGM has the Camera Link connector on a separate circuit board and connects to the FPGA circuit board with flat Molex cables and low profile connectors. Available with an MDR or SDR Camera Link connector, and is shown here with an SDR. At the maximum Camera Link clock rate of 85 MHz, passive Camera Link cables up to 7 meters long can be used.
Dimensions:
– Full mini circuit board: 50.95 x 30.0 mm (2.006 x 1.181 inches)
– Connector circuit board: 38.354 x 30.0 mm (1.51 x 1.181 inches)
– Cable length between circuit boards shown: 30.48 cm (8 inches)
PIXCI EB1miniF
The PIXCI EB1miniF moves the Camera Link connector to a separate board and connects the two with detachable flat ribbon cable. This allows for more mounting options in space constrained embedded systems with a full size mini card PCIe slot. Available with an MDR or SDR Camera Link connector, shown here with MDR. At the maximum Camera Link clock rate of 85 MHz, passive Camera Link cables up to 7 meters long can be used.
Dimensions:
– Full mini circuit board: 50.95 x 30.0 mm (2.006 x 1.181 inches)
– Connector circuit board: 38.354 x 30.0 mm (1.51 x 1.181 inches)
– Cable length between circuit boards shown: 20.32 cm (8 inches)
OPTIONS
SDR camera plug with optional PoCL (Power over Camera Link)
PIXCI® EB1miniF with SDR camera plug on the end of the flat ribbon cable. Optional red and black wires power the PoCL camera from the computer’s 12 volt power supply.

The PIXCI® EB1mini series of camera link frame grabbers use internal PCI Express Mini Card slots in small computer systems. Space constraints typically require routing of cables to a side of the case or to a nearby camera. Flexible cables are used to facilitate routing. The five versions of the PIXCI® EB1mini series provide multiple solutions for locating connectors.
