Proc1C10N-CXP12 for High-Bandwidth CoaXPress Acquisition
Gidel, a technology leader in FPGA-based vision and imaging solutions, today announced the Proc1C10N-CXP12, a new 100Gb/s CoaXPress Frame Grabber with 8 × CXP-12 links Built on Altera FPGA technology. The board delivers up to 100 Gb/s aggregate interface bandwidth and combines deterministic acquisition with on-board Lossless/JPEG Compression and customizable FPGA ISP.
| Feature | Proc1C10N-CXP12 |
|---|---|
| Camera Interface | 8 × CXP-12 links |
| Aggregate Interface Bandwidth | Up to 100 Gb/s |
| Camera Power | Power-over-CoaXPress (PoCXP) |
| On-Board Memory | Up to 33 GB for deep buffering |
| Image Processing | Customizable FPGA ISP and real-time processing |
| Compression | On-board Lossless and JPEG compression |
| Processing Performance | 500+ MPixels/s per encoder |
| Camera Types | Area-scan and line-scan CoaXPress cameras |
Meanwhile, Gidel’s HawkEye-CXP12 provides additional CXP-12 configurations. For projects that do not require full CXP-12 bandwidth, the Proc10A-CXP6 offers a more cost-effective alternative with 8 × CXP-6 links while still supporting deterministic acquisition and on-FPGA processing.
100Gb/s CoaXPress Frame Grabber 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 support parallel processing and recording while compression runs directly on the frame grabber. This can reduce PCIe bandwidth, storage requirements, and CPU/GPU load before data reaches the host.
The Proc1C10N-CXP12 acquires directly from high-bandwidth CoaXPress cameras through up to 8 × CXP-12 links, supporting deterministic acquisition for high-resolution, high-frame-rate, and multi-camera imaging systems.
“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. In addition, they may chooseLosslessor JPEG Compression for offline workflows, reducing data rates.
Optimize cost and performance by selecting the affordable 8 × CXP-6 or the higher-end CXP-12 configuration with abundant FPGA 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. In addition, complementary choices include HawkEye-CXP12 and the more affordable Proc10A-CXP6 with 8 × CXP-6 links to address different performance, integration, and budget requirements. Finally, for custom needs, Gidel also offers ODM services, from FPGA control and data-flow design to custom ISP.
