Gidel launches High-end CoaXPress CXP 12 Frame grabber featuring 8× CXP-12 links
Gidel, a technology leader in FPGA-based Vision & Imaging solutions, today announced a new CoaXPress CXP 12 Frame Grabber delivering up to 100 Gb/s aggregate throughput: the Proc1C10N-CXP12. Built on Intel® Arria 10 FPGA technology, Proc1C10N-CXP12 combines deterministic acquisition across eight CXP-12 links with on-board Lossless / JPEG Compression and customizable FPGA ISP. As a result, it enables real-time processing at 500+ MPixels/s per encoder while significantly reducing host load in high-speed machine-vision systems. Alongside Proc1C10N-CXP12, Gidel’s HawkEye-CXP12 provides additional CXP-12 configurations, and the Proc10A-CXP6 offers a more cost-effective alternative with 8× CXP-6 links for projects that do not require full CXP-12 bandwidth yet still need deterministic acquisition and on-FPGA processing.
High-Throughput CoaXPress CXP 12 Capture with On-FPGA Compression
The 100 Gb/s Proc1C10N-CXP12 and the broader family support Line-scan and Area-scan cameras and comply with GenICam. In addition, they utilize Power-over-CoaXPress (PoCXP) and provide up to 33 GB of on-board memory for deep buffering. Together with InfiniVision recording, Gidel’s compact compression engines enable synchronized capture across 100+ cameras/sensors. Furthermore, Gidel’s CoaXPress-12 APIs allow parallel on-line processing and recording, because compression runs directly on the grabber. This preserves original data while minimizing PCIe bandwidth and CPU/GPU load.
“Delivering eight CXP-12 links with on-FPGA processing and on-the-fly compression reduces the number of grabbers and host machines required, as well as total power,” said Ofer Pravda, VP Sales & Marketing at Gidel. “Consequently, the Proc1C10N-CXP12 pushes aggregate throughput to 100 Gb/s, enabling acquisition from top-tier cameras at hundreds of frames per second and cutting cost and footprint in large-scale systems.”
On-FPGA ISP and Compression for CoaXPress Systems
Teams can accelerate ISP on the FPGA using their IP with Gidel templates. They may choose Lossless or JPEG compression for offline workflows, reducing data rates.
Optimize cost and performance: select the affordable 8× CXP-6, or higher-end CXP-12 with abundant logic. ProcVision Suite streamlines integration, auto-generates ASPs, and includes CamSim plus debugging and verification tools.
“Camera resolutions and frame rates keep climbing, so bandwidth and deterministic processing become the bottlenecks,” added Reuven Weintraub, Founder & CTO at Gidel. “Therefore, pairing CXP-12 with on-FPGA feature extraction, deep on-board buffering, and selective ROI transfer via ProcFG API reduces PCIe bandwidth and host processing, while our compression engines can further lower data rates without sacrificing quality.”
Availability and Options
The Proc1C10N-CXP12 (100 Gb/s) is available now. Complementary choices include HawkEye-CXP12 and the more affordable Proc10A-CXP6 with 8× CXP-6 links to address diverse performance, integration, and budget requirements. For custom needs, Gidel also offers ODM services—from FPGA control and data-flow design to custom ISP.
