Gidel FantoVision FPGA-based frame grabbers and edge computer vision systems
Powered by Nvidia Orin NX embedded computers

Gidel FantoVision™ FPGA-based frame grabbers and edge computer vision systems are ultra-compact, high-performance systems designed for high-bandwidth image acquisition, real-time image processing, and image compression. Powered by NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX embedded AI platforms and optionally accelerated by an Intel Arria 10™ FPGA, FantoVision delivers a scalable, cost-effective solution for low-latency, data-intensive AI vision applications.

FantoVision frame grabber systems are available as a plug-and-play FPGA-based frame grabber, or as part of a complete AI vision system. These advanced edge AI vision systems seamlessly integrate high-speed cameras, real-time preprocessing, and hardware-accelerated compression into a single platform—making them ideal for applications where bandwidth, storage, and latency are critical.

Gidel’s hardware-accelerated compression algorithms dramatically reduce bandwidth and storage requirements, improving overall system throughput and real-time performance for demanding machine vision and imaging workloads. Learn how FantoVision overcomes the I/O and bandwidth limitations commonly faced by NVIDIA Jetson-based embedded computers.
