Frame grabbers by Neousys Technology are available from Impulse Embedded
AI-enabled frame grabbers by Neousys Technology are powered by Nvidia’s Jetson Orin NX bundled with JetPack 5.1. the embedded systems are now available from Impulse Embedded.
The specialist distributor offers two Nvidia Jetson Orin NX frame grabber cards available, the PCIe-NX156U3 and the PCIe-NX154PoE. Both are powered by the Nvidia Jetson Orin NX system on module (SOM).
The PCIe-NX156U3 has a USB interface offering six USB3.2 ports, each with 10Gbps bandwidth and up to 1500mA current for camera connectivity, whilst the PCIe-NX154PoE has four high-speed 2.5Gbits per second PoE+ ports, supporting a total of 50W for IP cameras, with both cards having software programmable per-port power control.
The standard, single-slot, half-length cards use a PCIe x4 slot with a x1 signal, which is compatible with both Windows and Linux systems. These AI-enabling frame grabber cards offload deep learning vision computing from the host system, ideal for image processing applications such as object sorting, defect detection, packaging inspection, assembly verification, and robotic guidance. They are said Impulse Embedded a turnkey industrial frame grabber for AI- based vision applications.
The PCI Express cards are suitable for use by developers of machine vision and automated inspection systems and make it easy to add the power of Nvidia Jetson to 19 inch rackmount and x86 industrial computer platforms, shifting the AI processing load from the host computer and onto the card, advised the company. The cards can upgrade existing systems by upgrading them to the latest image capture, pre-processing, and inference technology. They can be specified for use in harsh environments, supporting a wide operating temperature of – 25 to +60 degrees C.
The Nvidia Jetson Orin NX is the mid-range SoM from the latest Jetson Orin range, featuring Nvidia Ampere architecture, offering a 1024 CUDA core GPU, up to 16Gbyte of LPDDR5 and up to 100 TOPS of INT8 computing power.
Nvidia’s Jetpack software suite is used for building end-to-end AI accelerated applications, meaning the application software can be developed on any Jetson powered device and then seamlessly deployed onto these capture cards. This capability can accelerate time to market for machine vision integrators already fluent with the Jetpack suite. The cards can operate in standalone mode, which means developers can create their application before installing the cards into a host system.
