Matrox RadientPro CL
DescriptionBenefits
Full-featured Camera Link vision processor The Matrox RadientPro CL is a vision processor board capable of handling the highest image acquisition rates supported by the Camera Link interface standard, specifically the Full and 80-bit modes (single-Full model). The Matrox RadientPro CL also makes available a FPGA device capable of offloading the host system from having to deal with repetitive compute-intensive image processing algorithms that consume substantial host system bandwidth. This FPGA device can be tailored for specific algorithms either by Matrox or by using the optional Matrox FPGA Development Kit (FDK). Offload and accelerate repetitive tasks from the host CPU As image size continues to grow, frame rate steadily increases, and applications are expected to do more, the demands on the host system keep rising. The Matrox RadientPro CL can lessen the pressure by offloading repetitive compute-intensive image processing operations using the on-board Altera Stratix V FPGA, freeing valuable processing resources for the rest of the application and even accelerating the application. Candidate operations include spatial and temporal filtering, gain and offset correction, dead pixel correction, optical and perspective distortion correction, Bayer color interpolation, color space conversions, and frequency domain transformations. The operations performed on-board are controlled through the Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) application development software. Through MIL, a FPGA configuration can be rearranged to perform a required sequence of operations without having to necessarily generate a new FPGA configuration. When the need arises, Matrox’s FPGA design services can be employed to generate an application-specific FPGA configuration. Users can also use the Matrox FDK to create custom FPGA configurations. Versatile Camera Link interface For low-latency and deterministic acquisition, Camera Link provides a scalable and proven solution for vision applications. From cost-sensitive, low data rate applications, to mainstream applications including color, and right up to maximum bandwidth applications, Camera Link is an excellent fit. The use of the mini Camera Link connector (HDR) on the RadientPro CL facilitates higher density multi-camera system designs by enabling two Base or one Full mode Camera Link interface with triggering and general purpose I/O in a single slot. The Matrox RadientPro CL (single-Full model) supports the latest area and line scan cameras up to the Camera Link Full and 80-bit modes at 85MHz. When interfaced to PoCL enabled cameras, overall cabling complexity is reduced by eliminating the need for bulky and costly external camera power supplies. High-performance host interface An PCIe ® 2.0 x8 host interface provides the throughput necessary to ensure the continuous flow of pixels from the Matrox RadientPro CL to host memory. With a peak bandwidth of up to 4 GB/s, the Matrox RadientPro CL’s host interface prevents pixels from inadvertently being discarded while the point-to-point connectivity of PCIe stops other add-in devices from taking away valuable bandwidth between the frame grabber and the host PC. Lifecycle managed for consistent long term supply Matrox Imaging not only carefully selected each component in the Matrox RadientPro CL to ensure product availability in excess of five years, but also exercised strict change control to provide consistent supply. Longevity of stable supply lets OEMs achieve maximum return on the original investment without incurring the additional costs associated with the repeated validation due to constantly- changing products. Field-proven application development software Matrox RadientPro CL is supported by Matrox Imaging Library (MIL), a comprehensive collection of software tools for developing industrial imaging applications. MIL features interactive software and programming functions for image capture, processing, analysis, annotation, display and archiving. These tools are designed to enhance productivity, thereby reducing the time and effort required to bring your solution to market. Refer to the MIL datasheet for more information. Included with MIL are ready-made configurations for the FPGA- based processing core that implement a variety of image processing functions. Custom configurations can also be created by Matrox experts on demand and upon evaluation. For developers seeking to create their own image processing functions, the Matrox FDK is also available. It provides a component library and tools to enable creation of custom FPGA configurations for the Matrox RadientPro CL. Refer to the Matrox FDK datasheet for more information.
