Gidel Proc1C10M / Proc1C10N 100+GigE FPGA-based Frame Grabber

This powerful Gidel FPGA-based GigE frame grabber is offered in two configurations. By combining Gidel’s powerful Proc1C10M carrier board & Proc10M FPGA module, or the Proc1C10N carrier board & Proc10N FPGA module, this FPGA-based frame grabber delivers exceptional processing capabilities, system compactness, and cost-effectiveness.

At its core, the Proc10M / Proc10N module leverages the Intel® Stratix® 10 MX FPGA, which provides 10 times the DRAM and SRAM bandwidth compared to discrete DDR4 and QDR memories. This design makes the advanced technology readily accessible for computer-based, embedded systems, and Edge Computing applications.

The off-the-shelf Proc1C10M / Proc1C10N carrier board further enhances this solution by offering a PCIe Gen.3 x16 host interface, four QSFP28 ports for up to 400 Gb/s aggregated bandwidth, a Gidel PHS connector for daughterboard mounting, and 19 GPIOs for peripheral system control.

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 resolution, 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
  • The frame grabber can have one or more instances of ProcFG
Camera interface connectorSFP+ | RJ45
FPGA Option Optional on-FPGA processing using Gidel's libraries (IPs), Gidel's tailored library functions (IPs), or user customized IPs
Carrier boardOption for user or Gidel custom carrier board. For customization please, contact us

Contact us if you need a customized solution!


Software

SDK: The ProcFG and InfiniVision are each supported by their unique GUI and API suite for developing user applications.

FPGA Programming Suite: The Gidel grabber boards are supported by the ProcVision Suite enabling tailoring, debugging, and verification of the FPGA image processing and data flow.

Customization can be based on the InfiniVision or ProcFG flow, and can include multi-instances for supporting unique multi-camera topologies, as well as, image processing and compression.
