Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing has introduced the XMC-270 rugged, high-resolution XMC frame grabber and video-capture card, which is suitable for use in aerospace and defense applications. The XMC-270 delivers analog and digital video-capture functionality as well as serial connectivity via a built-in PCI Express core. A Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA enhances the card's functionality and provides for customizability.
“The XMC-270 utilizes Curtiss-Wright Controls video IP to create a fully ruggedized next-generation frame grabber,” said Lynn Patterson, VP and GM of modular solutions at Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing, adding that the XMC card delivers its image-processing capabilities in a flexible design that will support video storage and broadcasting, digital encoding, and Camera Link control while enabling additional user customization.
Available in both air- and conduction-cooled versions, the XMC-270 supports high-resolution digital and analog video formats, including legacy interlaced analog video. The card can transfer raw video data in a variety of color depths, including 8-bit YCbCr as well as 32- and 16-bit RGB formats and 8-bit mono (green only) format. It provides a range of video-capture features, including full frame rate, reduced frame rate (user programmable), and snapshot. The XMC-270 supports a range of video-capture inputs. Software support for the XMC-270 includes a capture driver, which enables a system designer to control the card’s hardware capabilities. This software can be used either in standalone mode or integrated with other Curtiss-Wright Controls’ graphics software.
