8-Link CXP-12 Frame Grabber for CoaXPress Cameras

The Proc1C10N-CXP12 is a high-performance eight-link CXP-12 frame grabber designed for real-time image acquisition, preprocessing, compression, and AI acceleration from high-speed CoaXPress-12 cameras in demanding multi-camera vision systems. Built on Gidel’s Proc10N FPGA module with Altera Stratix 10 NX FPGA technology, it integrates embedded Tensor Blocks and HBM2 memory, delivering up to 143 INT8 TOPS of AI processing performance. As a result, it can process and analyze data from up to 8 × CXP-12 links, making it ideal for advanced vision-based AI systems.

Octo CXP-12 Acquisition with Real-Time FPGA Image Processing

The Proc1C10N-CXP12 is available as a plug-and-play CXP frame grabber or as part of a complete imaging & vision system with real-time FPGA preprocessing, image enhancement, and compression options.

The built-in FPGA can process image data during acquisition, before it reaches the host PC. This helps reduce bandwidth, storage, and host processing load while preserving low-latency performance for high-speed camera streams.

Optional FPGA processing includes Compression, HDR correction, Detection, and additional image enhancement modules.

Real-Time FPGA Processing Helps Enable:

Reduced bandwidth for high-throughput image acquisition
Low-latency processing directly in the acquisition flow
Extended recording time through real-time compression
Lower host processing load by offloading selected tasks to the FPGA
Custom image pipelines using Gidel IPs or user FPGA logic
