Edge Computers

Ultra-compact Machine Vision edge computers

Gidel’s FantoVision family is a pioneering ultra-compact Machine Vision edge computers for high-bandwidth applications. It enables image acquisition and processing from up to 4 x CoaXPress 2.1 and 4 x 10GigE Vision, or 2 x 10GigE Vision and 80-bit/Dual-Base Camera Link cameras. The FantoVision’s innovative architecture merges high-end image acquisition with real-time image processing and/or compression. It uses Nvidia Jetson™ embedded computer and offers optional pre-processing/compression on Intel Arria 10™ FPGA.

Open Customizable Image Processing

The FantoVision distinguishes itself with its open architecture, which enables embedded AI/image processing on GPU and FPGA. Software engineers program their algorithms on GPU using CUDA C/C++ and NVIDIA’s libraries. Additionally, Gidel’s novel ProcVision™ Suite Suite makes developing and deploying optional pre-processing blocks on FPGA simple and fast.

Scalable Solution
The FantoVision opens the way for new ultra-compact computers for cost-effective, scalable vision and imaging solutions for high-bandwidth, low-latency applications. Multi-FantoVision units can be interconnected to provide unique and scalable topologies. Using Gidel’s InfiniVision™ open frame grabber flow, 100+ sensors can be synchronized and processed simultaneously.
