Choosing the Right FPGA Image Acquisition Architecture

ProcFG and InfiniVision run within Gidel’s FPGA-based image acquisition ecosystem, but they address different system requirements. ProcFG is designed for deterministic, per-camera acquisition where frame integrity, predictable behavior, and long-duration stability are critical.

InfiniVision is designed for large-scale synchronized acquisition across many cameras, supporting high aggregate throughput, flexible frame handling, and centralized multi-camera control.

Together, ProcFG and InfiniVision allow system designers to choose the acquisition architecture that best matches the application, from controlled single-camera or line-scan pipelines to scalable multi-camera vision systems.
