GRIP Alpha
The GRIP Alpha is a true commercial off the shelf (COTS) high performance rugged computer system.
The GRIP Alpha features the latest Intel mobile processor and chipset combination operating at 2.4GHz with a 3M L2 cache and 1066MHz FSB. This provides a computational throughput of greater than 850 MFLOPs (Passmark benchmark) for a power dissipation of less than 50W.
The GRIP chassis provides an IP67 sealed enclosure for the internal COTS hardware technology. Within the chassis a combination of convection and conduction cooling ensures minimal heat stress of the components. Internal shock isolation is also used to ensure reliable operation in harsh environments where the unit is subjected to shock and vibration.
Application areas of this technology include security, automotive, transportation, oil and gas, nuclear, military and aerospace sectors.
Data Capture
A single half length PCI or PCIe card can be integrated into the GRIP with I/O connection provided via a custom connector on the GRIP connector panel. Typically this is used to customize the I/O capability of the GRIP to support video interfaces such as:
• PAL/NTSC Analog Video (Up to 4 inputs)
• HD/SDI (SMPTE 292) up to 1080p resolution
• RGB up to WUXGA resolution
• CameraLink, Firewire, GigE Vision etc.
