FPGA-based core of the proFRAME grabber system
The core of the proFRAME modular frame grabber system is the base board, a plug-in card with a powerful FPGA for real-time data processing and precise time stamping featuring slots for proFRAME camera adapters for connection of up to 8 cameras. Depending on the hardware generation and product variant, different adapters are supported.
The following types of proFRAME 3.0 Base Boards are available:
You can find earlier base board models in our product archives.
CompactPCI Serial (CPCI-S.0) 3U
PCI Express, half length, full height
The third generation of proFRAME base boards made its debut in CompactPCI Serial (CPCI-S.0) form, offering four times the data rates of its predecessor to support state-of-the-art automotive cameras.
The Base Board is built around a AMD Zynq UltraScale+ ZU4CG MPSoC, enabling increased data transfer rates of up to 40 Gbit/s for each of its new-type camera adapter interfaces.
The corresponding camAD3 adapter modules take advantage of this, offering up to four camera inputs or outputs on a single adapter. proFRAME 3.0 adapters using GMSL2, GMSL3, FPD-Link III and FPD-Link IV (de)serializers are available or currently in development.
All the advanced features of the CompactPCI Serial version, but realized as a PCI Express board for regular PC systems. Fully compatible with the new camAD3 camera adapter line.
