Acceed
4-camera controller controls autonomous systems
Acceed has announced a series of compact industrial AI platforms called 'NRU-51V+'.
The robust and fanless controllers from Acceed are equipped with Nvidia high-performance Jetson Orin or Xavier modules. The models in the series bring a low-power, fanless AI inference platform to the market. The controller in the robust aluminum chassis has four FAKRA-Z connections for GMSL2 cameras, each of which supports a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels at 30 FPS. Either the Jetson Orin NX or the Xavier NX from Nvidia are used as processors. One 10GbE port and one 1GbE port with screw connection are available for the network connection. The device's internal mini PCIe socket can be used for a WiFi or 4G/5G module or various storage options, among other things.
GMSL (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link) is an asymmetrical full-duplex connection that was primarily developed for video transmission in vehicles. Power, bidirectional control data, Ethernet, bidirectional audio and several unidirectional video streams are simultaneously routed via a single line. The video transmission can be unprotected or encrypted with HDCP. The GMSL connection provides power to the camera, camera control, error messaging and video transmission. The controllers deliver an inference performance of 100 TOPS with a power consumption of 25 W. The raw camera images can be transferred via the 10GbE port to another GPU server for processing or used directly for real-time object or ROI detection. For teleoperation applications, the video codec can be used to encode the image streams from four GMSL2 cameras in real time and transmit the live images to an operator with minimal latency via 5G communication.
