Integrated Vision Acquisition and Processing
Deploy a single compact node for acquisition, real-time pre-processing, Edge AI inference, and recording. This approach reduces cabling, latency, and overall system cost while improving reliability and maintainability.
For large-scale, synchronized camera deployments, Gidel’s InfiniVision multi-camera vision system enables synchronization and processing across 100+ sensors within a flexible acquisition framework.
For applications that require strict determinism, line-scan optimization, or guaranteed frame capture with fixed timing, ProcFG provides a dedicated deterministic image acquisition layer.
Both approaches integrate seamlessly into Gidel’s FPGA-based vision platforms and scale from single-node systems to multi-unit topologies.
Why Choose the FantoVision40?
- Quad CXP‑12 links with PoCXP for long‑reach, robust cabling, grabbing and processing
- Up to 50 Gb/s aggregate input bandwidth
- FPGA‑plus‑GPU pipeline with Compression (.JPEG, Lossless, Quality+) option
- Real-Time High Dynamic Range (HDR) correction option

FAQ
The FantoVision40 is a rugged, multi-interface Jetson system designed for the most demanding vision workloads. It supports simultaneous acquisition from:
-
Up to 4 × CXP-12 links, supporting 1–4 CoaXPress cameras with PoCXP.
-
Option for 4 × 10 GigE (or 8 × 5G, 16 × 2.5G) cameras.
-
Flexible configurations for 2 × CXP-12 or 1 × CXP-12 link setups alongside the GigE interface.
The system utilizes an Altera FPGA dedicated to the acquisition and synchronization of both the CoaXPress and GigE Vision layers. By offloading these high-bandwidth tasks to the hardware, the system ensures low latency and fast data transfer directly to the Jetson’s memory, keeping the Jetson CPU and GPU resources fully available for advanced Edge AI inference and analytics.
Yes. One of the core strengths of the FantoVision40 is the option for modular inline FPGA pre-processing using Gidel’s off-the-shelf IPs. You can immediately implement real-time enhancements—such as High Dynamic Range (HDR), Real-Time Compression (Lossless, JPEG, or Quality+), Dynamic Luminance Balance, and beyond. By performing these tasks on the FPGA, you process the data before it even reaches the host memory.
Virtually zero. Because the acquisition path, synchronization, and modular ISP/compression tasks are performed entirely on the internal FPGA, the Jetson CPU is freed from the heavy lifting of raw data handling. This enables you to dedicate the full power of the NVIDIA Orin NX to high-level AI inference and complex application logic without performance bottlenecks.
The FantoVision40 provides a dual-development environment. For the GPU, you have full access to NVIDIA CUDA, C/C++, and AI libraries. For the FPGA acquisition and pre-processing layer, it is supported by Gidel’s ProcVision™ Suite, allowing for rapid deployment and customization of the imaging pipeline across both interfaces.
By utilizing Gidel’s InfiniVision™ architecture, the system provides a hardware-based, flexible, and deterministic infrastructure for synchronized acquisition across multiple sensors, even when mixing CoaXPress and 10GigE interfaces. This ensures zero-frame-loss performance and precise temporal alignment across all cameras—a critical requirement for accurate multi-view Edge AI inference.
Absolutely. The FantoVision40 is an ideal choice for recording and streaming applications requiring maximum throughput. It can perform all necessary on-the-fly preprocessing—including high-quality deBayer, HDR, and JPEG compression—on the FPGA. This significantly reduces the data load, allowing for extended recording times and efficient streaming while the Jetson handles real-time control.
All Gidel products come with a 12-month warranty, dedicated technical support, and regular firmware and driver updates to ensure high-performance reliability in demanding, long-term deployments.
