Xcelera-CL VX4 Full

Xcelera-CL VX4 Full - Next Generation
Vision Processor Boards
The Xcelera-CL VX4 is the next generation user programmable vision processor
based on the PCI Express X4 platform. It features powerful embedded processing
architecture for real-time high-performance machine vision applications.
Combining high-speed image acquisition capability with user programmable
FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array) and graphical FPGA development tools,
our vision processors deliver unmatched power and flexibility in real-time image
processing on the PCIe platform.
The X64 Xcelera-CL VX4 Full is a Camera Link vision processor that is based on
the PCI Express x4 interface. Compatible with a Base, Medium or Full Camera
Link camera, the X64 Xcelera-CL VX4 Full supports a wide variety of multi-tap
area and line scan colour and monochrome cameras. The X64 Xcelera-CL VX4
Full board can interface with advanced Camera Link cameras output formats
including 10-taps of 8-bit at 85MHz pixel clock rates.

The Xcelera-CL VX4 Full feature an FPGA hardware processing platform that
combines ACU(Acquisition Control Unit), DTE (Data Transfer Engine) and IPU
(Image Processing Unit) and state of the memory architecture. As a result,
models such as our new Xcelera-CL VX4 are capable of handling variety of
complex, real-time image processing topologies including iterative processing
loops. While the FPGA technology provides ability to adapt to variety of highspeed, compute-intensive real-time processing applications, the Xcelera VX4
hardware design has been implemented using standard off-the-shelf components
with long term availability.
