Kane Computing is now shipping the Arvoo Leonardo LS digital video processor.
The Leonardo line is used for ultra fast LVDS digital video acquisition and real-time processing of the incoming video data and is available as a PCI board or Compact PCI card.
The common digital video interface is RS-644 (optionally RS-422) compatible, with up to 40 bits data.
A dual channel mode is offered to acquire two independent 16 bit video input streams.
The computer bus interface is electrically compatible with PCI 2.2 and mechanically with standard PCI.
The bus interface is PCI-X compatible (64 bit/66MHz), resulting in an extreme transfer rate of 528MB/s on the computer bus.
The Leonardo is equipped with a state of the art Xilinx FPGA, offering real-time processing of the video data, such as contrast stretching in grey value domain with LUT, RGB mosaic colour restoration and random 2D convolution filters.
The video data is stored in a large on board memory.
The maximum image is 64kx64k pixels.
Customers can choose the Xilinx Virtex-E XCV100E or the XCV300E FPGAs and memory size of 128Mbytes or 256Mbytes of Sdram.
The onboard 133MHz bus supports throughput up to 1Gbyte/second and PCI bus transfer rates up to 528Mbytes/sec (480Mbytes/second sustained are possible).
In addition to the commercial version (0-70C) there is an industrial version that operates in a temperature range of -40 to +85C.
Arvoo also manufactures a CameraLink version of the Leonardo, plus a wide range of analogue and digital (SDI) Framegrabbers and digital video optical converters.
