Fibre-optic link for long-range digital video
Opticlink is a novel system for transmitting digital video over long distances (up to 10km) using fibre optic cables.
The FPGA interfaces to a fast digital signal processor, up to 4Gbyte of PC133 SDRAM, two independent fast zero-bus-turnaround memories, dual high-speed data channels, Sundance digital I/O header and a mezzanine expansion card connector.
With each onboard resource given an independent interface to the FPGA, the designer is able to implement bus structures of choice, rather than the board itself imposing a fixed wiring scheme.
Additional host system resources (system memory, I/O devices etc) are accessible via the PCI bus as bus master.
Multiple cards can be used to create scalable parallel processing machines tailored for specific application needs.
Applications are very varied and include: biometric verification/identification (ie face recognition); signature recognition, text search engines (address lists etc), data mining on unstructured data; and image databases (trademarks, chemical instructions).
A number of software libraries and tools have been developed by Cybula, such as the Aura C++ Library, a revolutionary, patented search engine optimised to run on the Presence II card.
Aura signature matching, which interfaces to the Aura C++ Library is also available for high-speed signature matching. Request a free brochure from Kane Computing ...
