Teledyne DALSA's FPGA and developer toolset enable processing in real time
The Xcelera-CL VX4 FPGA-based vision processor and Sapera APF graphical development environment enable user programming for fast implementation of real-time image-processing applications. The point-and-click environment with embedding image-processing libraries allows software and hardware engineers to program image acquisition from one Base, Medium, or Full Camera Link camera, with an extended feature set that supports advanced Camera Link pixel/tap configurations.
