DragonEYE: GbE framegrabber with FPGA Xilinx Artix 200 processor

Techway Signal Vision System introduces DragonEYE, the new four-port GbE PCIe framegrabber equipped with Xilinx Artix 200 FPGA processor and optimized for vision applications and real time processing
DragonEYE, thanks to the onboard FPGA processor, offers the possibility to pre-process the input video signal, ensuring a lightening of the workload that would normally be entirely on the system CPU. This advantage is realized with a reduction of the performance demand on the whole system and with a consequent reduction of the overall energy consumption. Thanks to the complete programmability of the FPGA Xilinx Artix 200 chip, DragonEYE is suitable for the most varied vision applications, such as Image Processing and Deep learning, which are excellently supported by the Xilinx Vivado HLS webpack toolkit. It provides all the tools to effectively and simply program the FPGA chip and also allows a complete framegrabber management.
