Video Capture and Playback System proFRAME Base Board 3.0 PCIe

Modular system consisting of three parts with system accessories

Comprised of a proFRAME baseboard, camera adapter and supporting software, the system is flexible enough to be used with a wide range of system accessories, and supports major transmission technologies such as GMSL2™, GMSL3™, FPD-Link™ III and IV (other technologies are available upon request). The system is capable of efficiently processing raw video data streams for a variety of applications, ranging from ADAS system validation and self-driving function testing in the automotive field to industrialized applications such as medical technology, digital microscopy, and EOL testing.

Validate ADAS/AD embedded control units as intermediate media

In Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) testing of ADAS or Autonomous Driving (AD) functionality, the ADAS/AD Embedded Control Unit (ECU) provides driving scenes via video streams recorded during the test drive and relies on precise time stamping for synchronized replay of the video frames. proFRAME systems can efficiently and accurately replay driving scenes in HiL testing, thus enhancing the efficiency of ADAS/AD functionality validation. AD function verification efficiency. Equipped with various camera adapters, the system is compatible with the leading serializers in the market (e.g. GMSL and FPD-Link) and can replay video streams based on single-frame timestamps or external triggers. proFRAME supports the replay of video streams based on single-frame timestamps or external triggers. In addition, proFRAME supports HiL system integration based on ROS or ADTF platforms, providing fast connection between SW APIs and software platforms through proprietary ROS™ packages (ROS 2) and ADTF plug-ins, enabling seamless integration with HiL systems.

High-performance system captures multiple camera data streams

ADAS system functions such as traffic sign recognition, lane assistance, parking assistance, and autonomous driving require efficient and accurate collection of real-time data from vehicle sensors, especially the video streams generated by embedded cameras. To validate these capabilities, the video streams from each camera need to be captured synchronously, accurately time-stamped and stored, and then replayed in a hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) test of the driving scene to validate the performance of the ADAS/AD ECU. proFRAME system is the ideal solution for this, supporting most common automotive cameras and recording up to eight 4K video streams synchronously (including I2C sideband communication). The time stamping of the input data is precisely processed by the hardware and can be synchronized with other devices via an external trigger cable. The camera also provides configurable voltage via a coaxial cable (supporting PoC power) for further application flexibility.

Integration of data acquisition equipment for data recording and analysis

The multiphase data flow includes precise, high-precision time stamping, and the proFRAME system supports bypass functionality for simultaneous data input acquisition and output processing. Through the ATX4 high-performance on-board server or BRICK2 data acquisition platform, the system is able to store, process and analyze the data in-depth, thus creating a complete closed-loop process from on-board multiphase image acquisition to analysis result output and storage, meeting the demand for efficient data processing.
