EIZO Rugged Solutions Inc. has unveiled the Condor GR6S-AD2000,a robust 3U OpenVPX video graphics and GPGPU card,driven by the NVIDIA RTX™ 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU.
The Condor GR6S-AD2000 is a high-performance,I/O-rich video capture solution that adheres to the SOSA® standard,specifically designed for computing systems that demand real-time video acquisition and AI-enhanced data processing capabilities.
This innovative card accommodates up to six 12G-SDI video streams, featuring four dedicated inputs and two dedicated outputs. Its versatile I/O framework facilitates smooth multi-video ingestion, processing, and transmission, considerably improving real-time situational awareness in critical mission scenarios.
NVIDIA RTX 2000 GPU
The NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU is equipped with 8 GB of GDDR6 graphics memory, comprising 3,072 CUDA cores, 96 fourth-generation Tensor cores, and 24 third-generation RT cores.
Additionally, the Ada Lovelace architecture incorporates an eighth-generation NVIDIA hardware encoder (NVENC) with AV1 encoding. This feature, combined with the card’s video capture capabilities, ensures low-latency compression and streaming, which are vital for C5ISR applications.
The solution boasts PCI Express Gen 4 (available in x4, x8, or x16 lane configurations) and supports bifurcation and daisy chaining, providing exceptional versatility and rapid data transfer speeds that enhance efficiency and responsiveness for data-heavy operations.
Developed in accordance with the SOSA Technical Standard, the Condor GR6S-AD2000 supports SOSA payloads 14.6.11-0 and 14.6.13-0. It is engineered to comply with VITA 47.1 environmental standards concerning temperature, shock, and vibration resilience.
chris Fadeley, Chief Technology Officer, remarked, “The integration of SDI video data capture and display in VPX systems has posed challenges due to the incompatibility between 75-ohm video signals and VPX connectors, which are designed for 50-ohm and 100-ohm differential pairs.”
“The Condor GR6S-AD2000 addresses this issue by incorporating a 75-ohm NanoRF aperture alongside our Condor Video Engine, allowing for direct SDI capture and output within a SOSA-compliant payload. This integration guarantees true interoperability with SOSA-aligned backplanes.”
