The Gidel HawkEye-CXP-12 CoaXPress frame grabbing and real-time image processing system provides the core infrastructure required to realize the most demanding vision and imaging applications.
The HawkEye series offers a number of options to accommodate diverse application needs, from plug-and-play high-performance frame grabbers to a full system solution comprising acquisition, open-FPGA image processing, and flexible custom camera interface.
The HawkEye-CXP supports up to four CoaXPress (cXp-12/cXp-6) links enabling connecting 1 – 4 CXP-12/6 cameras. The HawkEye-CXP family is based on PCIe Gen. 3 x8, providing CPU-free ultra-fast offload bandwidth. Large data buffers of up to 16 GB fortify the acquisition bandwidth and the image processing capabilities on powerful Arria 10 FPGA.

Ecosystem support:
HawkEye-CXP-12 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-CXP are available in various variants with different FPGA. Contact us if you need assistance selecting the right model for your needs!
