FAQ
The Proc1C10M-120GigE is designed for extreme-scale acquisition, natively supporting:
-
Up to 12 × 10 GigE Cameras directly.
-
For configurations requiring more than 100 cameras or support for 25GigE / 100GigE interfaces, please contact our technical team for tailored setup options.
The board is powered by the Altera FPGA, featuring integrated HBM2 memory that delivers 10X more DRAM and SRAM bandwidth than conventional DDR4 solutions. By handling all data management and synchronization on the hardware, the PCIe Gen3 x16 interface ensures low latency and massive throughput while keeping host CPU utilization negligible.
Yes. A core strength of the Proc1C10M-120GigE 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 FPGA, the host CPU is freed from the heavy lifting of raw data handling. This enables you to run high-level AI inference and complex application logic on the host without any performance bottlenecks or dropped frames.
The Proc1C10M-120GigE is supported by the ProcVision™ Suite, a modular Vision SDK for FPGA development. It provides a complete ecosystem for building custom imaging systems, allowing you to insert proprietary algorithms directly into the FPGA pipeline. This environment includes dedicated tools for real-time validation and debugging, significantly reducing development risk and accelerating your time-to-market.
By utilizing Gidel’s InfiniVision™ architecture, the board provides a flexible infrastructure for deterministic, synchronized acquisition from 100+ GigE Vision cameras. Combined with the unprecedented HBM2 memory bandwidth, it guarantees zero-frame-loss performance even under extreme data loads that standard 100G NICs cannot handle.
Yes. The board is ideal for raw data and lossless recording as well as full image processing and encoding at up to 400 Gb/s aggregated bandwidth. It can capture wide dynamic range 12-bit data and perform all necessary on-the-fly preprocessing—including high-quality deBayer, HDR, and JPEG compression. To further reduce host load and support real-time control, it can simultaneously provide thumbnails and ROI streams in parallel.
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.
