Dynamic Multi-Camera Vision System

InfiniVision: Scalable Multi-Camera Vision System

InfiniVision is a high-performance multi-camera system that powers Gidel’s scalable Imaging & Machine Vision platform, enabling synchronized acquisition, processing, and recording across up to 100+ sensors for applications that demand massive throughput and coordinated operation at scale.

Scalable Architecture for Server and Edge

InfiniVision is designed for both centralized server-based architectures and compact embedded deployments:

• Hardware Support: Deploy on Gidel PCIe Frame Grabbers, Mini Jetson Frame Grabber Systems, or PGA Modules.

• Control: Includes a ready-to-use GUI and a comprehensive API for full control over the FPGA-based acquisition and recording pipeline.

• Interfaces: Supports GigE Vision, CoaXPress, and Camera Link, with custom protocol support available upon request.

Synchronized Dynamic Multi-Camera Acquisition and Recording

As a multi-camera vision system, InfiniVision coordinates acquisition across large camera arrays. It keeps image data from all cameras aligned in time. This capability is critical for systems that rely on spatial or temporal correlation between multiple viewpoints.

The platform handles very high aggregate throughput and high-speed recording. Some configurations can exceed 100,000 FPS for uncompressed image streams, depending on the hardware setup. FPGA resources distribute acquisition and preprocessing tasks, which helps maintain stable operation under sustained load as camera counts and data rates grow.

Flexible Frame Handling and Inline Image Processing

InfiniVision captures image data on the fly and does not enforce static frame definitions. Each camera, and even each frame, can use different resolutions, pixel formats, or dynamic ROIs. This approach allows designers to combine heterogeneous camera types and adapt acquisition behavior in real time. It also avoids reconfiguration or downtime.

The acquisition path includes modular inline processing blocks such as Image Signal Processing (ISP) and image compression. These FPGA-based blocks help balance image quality, bandwidth, storage, and latency. They do so while preserving synchronized multi-camera operation.

For applications that require strict determinism, guaranteed frame capture, or line-scan–oriented acquisition, Gidel also offers ProcFG. While InfiniVision focuses on flexible, large-scale, synchronized multi-camera systems, ProcFG is optimized for deterministic image acquisition pipelines where fixed timing, controlled buffering, and complete frame integrity take priority.

Why Choose the InfiniVision Multi-Camera Vision System?

InfiniVision targets vision systems that must scale to large camera counts. It maintains synchronized acquisition and reliable high-speed recording as systems grow. OEMs and system integrators can capture, process, and record large volumes of image data without rigid frame definitions or camera limitations.

By combining flexible multi-camera acquisition, inline FPGA processing, and scalable recording in one architecture, InfiniVision reduces system complexity. It also lowers long-term integration risk. This approach lets designs evolve from early prototypes to fleet deployments while preserving software investment, acquisition behavior, and performance consistency.
