The VPDU (Video Processing and Distribution Unit) is used for processing and distributing video in system comprising multiple video sources which need to be processed and routed to multiple video displays. A typical example is an armoured vehicle with EO sighting systems, driver cameras and situation awareness cameras all of which need to be shared between different displays within the vehicle.
The GRIP VPDU combines an Intel 4th or 6th generation Intel Core i7 processor with an AMD GPU to drive up to 6 displays. The video input architecture is modular which allows the VPDU to be configured to support the specific format of the video sources. This includes support for PAL, NTSC, 3G/HD-SDI, YPbPr, STANAG, HDMI, RGB, VGA and GigE Vision. Up to 24 video sources are supported.
The VPDU can be supplied with software pre-installed.
As a minimum, the VPDU is supplied with a Linux OS with all driver software installed.
A range of libraries based on the Vision4ce GRIP VMS software are available including:
Vision4ce offer an Image Processing framework for the CHARM 100 board. The proposed framework provides video capture and display functionality and also includes an API definition for the implementation of alternative image enhancement algorithms. The API allows the customer to develop their own C++ processing libraries and then use the framework to input video frames and output video and symbology to the selected video output.
Vision4ce can undertake the development of a complete bespoke application for the VPDU.
