About Us
Gidel is a technology leader in Imaging & Vision systems utilizing FPGAs
For over 30 years, Gidel has delivered high-performance FPGA-based imaging and vision solutions. We help customers solve complex imaging challenges with precision, flexibility, and modularity.
We focus on real-time, high-resolution imaging for advanced applications. These applications require low latency, power efficiency, and custom FPGA-based processing. Customers choose Gidel for mission-critical environments that demand complete imaging systems. Our solutions cover camera interfacing, image enhancement, real-time compression, and HDR.
Whether you are building a complete system or adding FPGA capabilities to an existing one, Gidel offers a seamless path. Our portfolio includes Mini Jetson Frame Grabbers, Frame Grabbers for 10, 40, and 100+ GigE Vision, CoaXPress-12, and Camera Link. We also offer Mini FPGA Modules. Customers can buy these products off the shelf or request customized versions.
Gidel also provides flexible Development Tools for customers who want to design their own FPGA imaging pipelines. With these tools, engineers can implement custom algorithms, integrate proprietary IP, and build tailored workflows on the FPGA. This approach reduces development effort and shortens time to market.

Technology Leadership
Gidel delivers technology leadership where imaging systems face real performance limits. When standard approaches struggle with bandwidth, latency, synchronization, image quality, or processing efficiency, Gidel helps customers move beyond those barriers with solutions that are fast, precise, and built for demanding real-world conditions.
What makes Gidel different is the ability to solve multiple challenges at once. High-speed acquisition, real-time processing, image enhancement, deterministic behavior, and flexible integration are not treated as separate problems. Gidel combines them into one coherent imaging architecture that works reliably under pressure and scales with application demands.
This system-level approach helps customers overcome some of the hardest problems in imaging and vision. It reduces host processing load, shortens response time, improves image quality, maintains synchronization across complex camera setups, and supports custom processing without forcing a full redesign. The result is not only stronger performance, but also a more practical and efficient path to deployment.
Gidel’s leadership is defined by execution. The company helps customers solve difficult problems quickly, with high engineering quality, deep FPGA expertise, and the modular flexibility needed to adapt as requirements evolve. That is what makes Gidel a trusted choice for advanced imaging and vision applications.

Testimonials
“I have been impressed with Gidel’s professionalism from the beginning. They demonstrated strong expertise in their field and were able to meet our aggressive specifications and time-line. They understood our goals and objectives and presented us with a competitive solution to our needs. Gidel has proven to be a great Technology Partner.”
Dr Alan George, Director of CHREC and Professor of ECE at the University of Florida
“I am very excited about the performance, versatility, and programmability, as well as the low energy and cost, of this new technology from Gidel and Altera and look forward to using it on research projects in CHREC. Gidel and Altera technologies are featured in our Novo-G system here at the NSF Center for High-Performance and Reconfigurable Computing (CHREC), where more than 400 FPGAs spanning three technology generations are being used for a wide variety of research in application acceleration and system emulation.”
Carlos Carreras, Universidad Politecnica de Madrid
“We selected Gidel PROCStar III boards as they provided the appropriate computing power, a specific FPGA to handle the PCI-express interface, and mainly the possibility of attaching multiple DDR memories to each FPGA, a critical aspect in many HPC applications that Gidel had cleverly anticipated. In addition, their Multiport technology accessible through the ProcWizard tool simplified the burden of dealing with the PCI-e and DDR interfaces. Since then, we have been working in close collaboration with Gidel, whose support has always been excellent. Today, acceleration of HPC applications remains an active field of research in the group and Gidel’s PROCStar IV boards remain our platform of choice, as they allow us to achieve excellent performance and to target complex CFD problems even dealing with unstructured meshes.”
Bill Turri Group Leader, UDRI
“The University of Dayton Research Institute has been developing advanced image and video processing solutions using Gidel FPGA cards since 2008. We have used Gidel’s PROCStar-III, PROCe-IV and PROCe-V boards together with their ProcWizard design tools, and are looking forward to continuing to work with their line of FPGA cards. Their products are cost effective and highly reliable, their software greatly improves our time to results, and their technical support is among the best we’ve ever received. Using Gidel’s products, together with Altera’s FPGAs and development software, have helped us meet tight deadlines that may not have been possible otherwise.”
