AMD E8860 / Xilinx Kintex®-7 Graphic & Processing board
Because GPU and FPGA offer a formidable blend for video applications, Interface Concept has developed the IC-GRA-VPX6a mixing both technologies.
By combining the power of the E8860 GPU and the Xilinx Kintex®-7 FPGA high ratio processing power to consumption with the high communication capabilities of the OpenVPX, the IC-GRA-VPX6a can manage many video flows in a single VPX chassis slot, allowing high cost reduction.
The IC-GRA-VPX6a is designed to mix up-to-date digital video interfaces with still in use legacy standards such as Stanag 3350 (with useful features: external synchronization, Vertical Interface Reference, etc.).
