ImgGrab v1.0.0 Officially Released - Professional CXP High-Speed Image Acquisition Software Launched

ImgGrab — Empowering High-Speed Image Acquisition with Simplicity and Power!

ImgGrab Image Acquisition Software – A Professional Multi-Channel CoaXPress Image Acquisition Platform

Version: v1.0.0

Release Date: February 12, 2026

Product Overview

ImgGrab is a professional image acquisition software tailored for high-end machine vision and industrial imaging applications, exclusively built for CoaXPress (CXP) high-speed image acquisition systems. Based on the Genicam GenTL standard protocol, the software fully supports plug-and-play functionality for CXP cameras and frame grabbers from multiple manufacturers, and is deeply adapted to our full range of high-performance acquisition hardware, including:

•       PCIe-1004: 4-Channel CoaXPress 1.1/2.0 Frame Grabber

•       PCIe-3004: 4-Channel 25G CoaXPress over Fiber Frame Grabber

•       Z19EG-1004: 8-Channel Embedded CXP Acquisition Platform (based on ARM + FPGA architecture, ideal for edge deployment)

Beyond delivering stable, low-latency, and high-throughput image acquisition capabilities, ImgGrab integrates advanced features such as multi-camera synchronization management, video recording and playback, configuration file import/export, and bilingual Chinese-English UI. It serves as the ideal control hub for building complex multi-camera vision systems.

Core Feature Highlights

✅ Extensive Hardware Compatibility

•       Automatically scans and identifies all GenTL-compliant devices (including third-party equipment)

•       Natively supports simultaneous operation of multiple frame grabbers and cameras (up to 8 cameras for parallel acquisition)

•       Achieves complete parameter mapping and bidirectional read/write via frame grabber-specific XML and camera GenICam XML, ensuring full controllability, visibility and adjustability of all functions

✅ Efficient User Interaction & Configuration Management

Four-zone layout design for clear logic and efficient operation:

•       Top Menu Bar: Entry for global commands (acquisition, save, language, configuration, etc.)

•       Left Device Tree: Intuitively displays the hierarchical structure of all connected frame grabbers and cameras, with one-click switching of control targets

•       Central Image Area: Main preview window supporting multi-camera split-screen display or single-view focus

•       Right Property Panel: Dynamically loads the complete parameter tree of the currently selected device, with support for real-time read/write, unit display, and range limit prompts

•       One-click property refresh: Ensures real-time synchronization of UI parameters and hardware status

•       Configuration file import/export: Saves the complete set of camera + frame grabber parameters as .cfg files for rapid deployment and reuse

•       Seamless switch between Chinese and English UI: Meets the collaboration needs of international teams

✅ Professional-Grade Image Acquisition & Display

•       Automatically parses and renders multiple pixel formats including Mono, Bayer (RGGB/GRBG/GBRG/BGGR), and RGB

•       Built-in crosshairs and grid lines for auxiliary alignment and measurement

•       Overlay of real-time frame rate display and image resolution status, supporting 1:1 pixel viewing and adaptive window scaling

✅ Full-Process Data Management

•       Single-frame / continuous image saving: Supports BMP, PNG, TIFF, JPEG and other formats

•       Video recording: Saves continuous acquisition streams as AVI or MJPEG video files

•       Image/Video playback: Built-in player supporting local playback of saved image sequences or videos for offline analysis and verification

✅ Future-Oriented Extensible Architecture

ImgGrab adopts a modular design and will support the PCIe-1005 (CXP Simulator), PCIe-4005 (Camera Link Simulator), Jetson GPU+FPGA embedded platforms, and networked remote devices in the future, enabling easy expansion to multi-protocol, multi-platform, and edge intelligence application scenarios.

Typical Application Scenarios

•       Semiconductor wafer and advanced packaging inspection

•       Aerospace high-precision imaging and non-destructive testing

•       Quantum computing and cutting-edge physics experiments

•       High-end scientific research imaging such as ultrafast optics

System Requirements

Operating System: Windows 10/11 64-bit

Hardware: Equipped with our PCIe-1004 / PCIe-3004 / Z19EG-1004 frame grabbers, or third-party GenTL-compliant CXP acquisition devices

Dependencies: The official driver of the corresponding frame grabber and GenTL Producer library must be pre-installed
