Boost your GigE Vision performance with Gidel’s Hawkeye-20G smart NIC grabber. The HawkEye-20G is ideal for high performance, high-bandwidth applications based on multiple cameras and/or ultra-high bandwidth cameras. The HawkEye-20G’s real-time FPGA processing ensures zero frame loss and virtually zero CPU utilization, freeing the CPU for key processing tasks. Gidel’s innovative InfiniVision grabber is designed specifically for addressing the key challenges of multi-camera systems, including high bandwidth, synchronization, connectivity, scalability and more.
The HawkEye-20GigE series offers a number of options to accommodate diverse application needs, from a plug-and-play high-performance frame grabber to a fully customized system solution comprising acquisition, FPGA image processing, real-time image compression, multi-camera synchronization and complex I/O system control.
The HawkEye-20GigE has an acquisition bandwidth of 20 Gb/s via two SFP+ ports enabling grabbing from 2 x 10 GigE Vision cameras, multi-link cameras or multiple GigE (4 x 5 GigE, 10 x 1 GigE, etc.) cameras via a switch. The HawkEye-20GigE is a PCIe low-profile form factor.

HawkEye 20GigE is available with following options. Contact us if you need a customized solution!
Options:
Grabber option #1: InfiniVision
- Enables using many synchronized cameras and/or to grab compressed images/videos.
- All the cameras' data, including from multiple boards, is organized in a single buffer.
- Each camera can have different resolution, and pixel format, and may be changed on the fly.
- The frame grabber can have one or more instances of InfiniVision, and all cameras of the same InfiniVision instance must be synchronized.
HawkEye 20GigE are available in various variants with different FPGA. Contact us if you need assistance selecting the right model for your needs!

SDK:
The ProcFG and InfiniVision are each supported by its unique GUI and API suite for developing the user application. For description of ProcFG and InfiniVision, refer to the Options tab.
FPGA Programming Suite:
The Gidel grabber boards are supported by the ProcVision Suite enabling tailoring, debugging, and verification of the FPGA image processing and data flow.
Customization can be based on the InfiniVision or ProcFG flow, and can include multi-instances for supporting unique multi-camera topologies, as well as, image processing and compression.
