CES - Creative Electronic Systems SA Launches Video I/O and Processor Module with Audio Support
DaVinci™-digital media processor from Texas Instruments
12 watts average power consumption
XMC form-factor, rugged or extended range conduction-cooled
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND — CES - Creative Electronic Systems SA today announced the VPP-8112 video I/O and processor XMC. The VPP-8112 accommodates various input and output channels with powerful image processing capability in a small conduction-cooled format.
“The VPP-8112 is specifically designed as a powerful video acquisition and processing solution for harsh environmental conditions,” stated Hervé Garchette, CEO of CES. “The XMC form-factor makes it possible to use this module in many types of systems with XMC carriers.”
The VPP-8112 features the DaVinci™ digital media processor from Texas Instruments. It incorporates an ARM® Cortex-A8 processor, running an embedded Linux® system, a floating point VLIW DSP, a video image coprocessor for H.264 and MPEG-4 video compression, decompression and a 3D graphics processing unit. Its multiple integrated I/O peripherals provide native support for a PCIe x1 Gen2 link, two Gigabit Ethernet links, one SATA-II interface for external storage and two USB 2.0 ports. The VPP-8112 has two stereo audio inputs and outputs to compliment the video capability of the module.
The VPP-8112 excels in harsh, conduction-cooled environments. With its low power consumption and standard conduction-cooled XMC format, the VPP-8112 can be installed on any single board processor or passive carrier, for example the ISC-8422 from CES.
For system prototyping and evaluation, CES offers an integrated laboratory system with a VPP-8112 installed on a carrier that links via PCIe to a RIO6-8093 VME single board computer. A stand-alone development kit is available that provides easy access to all I/O interfaces.
CES provides fully integrated flight computers with video processing, general-purpose processing, and avionic I/O interfaces using the VPP-8112.
The VPP-8112 module has options for air-cooled and conduction-cooled operating environments.
The VPP-8112 is available with a device driver for an x86 Linux® or PPC VxWorks® host, and the complete firmware for the supported features.
