The Xcelera-CL VX4 vision processor is the latest member of Teledyne DALSA's award winning Xcelera family of frame grabbers and vision processors. A PCI Express (PCIe) x4 based platform, the Xcelera-CL VX4 features powerful user programmable embedded processing architecture for real time high performance machine vision applications. The Xcelera-CL VX4 combines field proven image acquisition with onboard processing capabilities. The Xcelera-CL VX4 boards support a wide variety of cameras, including multi-tap area and line scan cameras, color and monochrome models, including 8-bit 10-tap configurations, and are compatible with Base, Medium or Full Camera Link® cameras.
Sapera APF is an integrated graphical FPGA development environment. Sapera APF simplifies traditional FPGA development processes by combining a point and click graphical interface with FPGA based image processing libraries. Sapera APF comes bundled with a bit accurate software version of the FPGA library functions for rapid functional simulation but also automatically generates necessary infrastructure to call user functions using Sapera SDK. This powerful, yet easy to use FPGA development environment allows users to create, debug, and deploy FPGA code without ever leaving the development GUI.
"With the Xcelera-CL VX4, we have harnessed the power of field-programmable gate arrays and made it accessible to non-FPGA experts," said Inder Kohli, product manager at Teledyne DALSA. "The OEM not only benefits from real-time execution capabilities of the FPGA, but also from IP preservation, shorter development cycles and standard off-the-shelf processing platforms like Xcelera-CL VX4 Full."
