March 11, 2013 - Sundance Digital Signal Processing introduced the FG-400CL, a Camera Link Frame Grabber. Designed for use as a Stand Alone, PCIe and PCIe104 form factors, the FG-400CL delivers a fully user controllable FPGA that includes Sundance DSP Camera Link FPGA IP core. Its unique feature is a 100% user programmable and open FPGA ( Xilinx Virtex 5: FX30T, FX70T, FX100T with Power PC processor ) that enables users to implement their proprietary image preprocessing algorithms. FG-400CL can send data to other Sundance DSP based multiprocessing and multi FPGA modules and boards. A GUI user interface on Windows OS allows user to reconfigure the FPGA, stream data to host or specified file for storage.
The FG-400CL has variety of I/O capabilities; USB2, 2 x SATA connectors, RS232 serial links, GPIOs and 2 x Fiber connectors. Pricing starts at less than 2000 $US. Software includes Windows and Linux drivers, and PARS, a graphical user interface that integrates DSP and FPGA Sundance DSP based modules and FG-400CL in a unique user friendly developing environment for scalable and extended functionality systems.
