Kithara
Significantly reduce CPU load
Thanks to the cooperation between Kithara Software and PLC2 Design, specially developed real-time drivers have been created for the PCIe frame grabber card from PLC2.
Embedded in the real-time operating system 'Kithara RealTime Suite', the 'PGC-1000' frame grabber card can almost completely relieve the CPU of image acquisition processes within machine vision applications. For example, the card can simultaneously capture up to four GigE Vision camera streams at 10 GBit/s each. The real-time synchronization of several cameras via Kithara's PTP function is also possible.
The main areas of application are sophisticated developments for driver assistance systems and autonomous driving, where numerous other technologies have to interlock within the real-time environment in addition to the computationally intensive image acquisition. The accelerator card can be used primarily in existing data logger systems for ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) development in order to relieve the load on computer resources and thus enable more stable real-time performance.
