On-Demand Viewing of Sensor Data, Seamless Movement Between Video Streams, Safety Certifiable

Two high-end AMD 9171 GPUs coupled with two customizable FPGAs enable the safety-certifiable EnsembleSeries VGP-8177 graphics processor to simultaneously manage ten independent inputs and outputs. The VGP-8177’s flexible video input processing pipeline allows for any of its video inputs to be enhanced through scaling, rotation, custom image processing, and overlay.

The 6U OpenVPX™ VGP-8177 acts as a video switch with a many-to-many configuration. In addition to high-speed fiber optics digital video inputs and outputs such as ARINC-818-2, DVI and SDI, legacy analog RGB and CVBS inputs and outputs are also supported.

Answering the increasing demand for safety-critical graphics, the VGP-8177 provides a path to certification with our reusable Design Assurance Level (DAL) certified artifacts.
