Gidel Proc10A-CXP-6 GigE FPGA-based Frame Grabber

The Gidel Proc10A-40GigE FPGA-based frame grabber, based on the Intel Arria 10 FPGAs provides immense processing power and plentiful memory to satisfy the highest performance and bandwidth requirements demanded by real-time image processing.

With eight CXP-6 links this ultra-high bandwidth frame grabber can achieve an aggregated bandwidth of up to 50 GB/s. This frame grabber features a PCIe Gen. 3 x 8 host bus and immense image buffers (up to 32 GB) with real-time compression, and the capability to offload Regions Of Interest (ROI) for enhanced bandwidth utilization. In addition, the Proc10A_CXP-6 supports the use of eight 500+ MPixels/s Gidel Lossless and JPEG encoders, effectively doubling pixel frequency. Like all Gidel FPGA-based frame grabbers, you can choose from Plug-n-Play frame grabbers to highly customized modular solutions.

Gidel FPGA frame grabbers offer real-time, high-bandwidth vision and image processing. Their frame grabbers range from economical off-the-shelf frame grabbers to high-performance, multi-camera custom solutions with 10GigE or CoaXPress interfaces. Development is streamlined with the ProcFG and InfiniVision SDK, which includes GUIs, APIs, and libraries with support for complex multi-camera setups, advanced image processing, and compression.

Options

Grabber architecture type The Gidel Frame Grabber boards can operate in one of two unique Frame Grabber architectures, ProcFG or InfiniVision, by reprogramming the firmware.
Grabber option #1: InfiniVision
  1. Enables using many synchronized cameras and/or to grab compressed images/videos
  2. All the cameras' data, including from multiple boards, is organized in a single buffer
  3. Each camera can have different resolCXution, and pixel format, and may be changed on the fly
  4. The Frame Grabber can have one or more instances of InfiniVision, and all cameras of the same InfiniVision instance must be synchronized


Grabber option #2: ProcFG
  • Each camera has a dedicated ProcFG instance
  • Frame size and pixel format must be fixed
  • Optimized for line scan cameras
  • Option for grabbing ROIs
  • ProcFG may not be used for compressed data
FPGA OptionOpen FPGA | Closed FPGA
FPGA TypeArria 10 270 | Arria 10 660 | Arria 10 1150
