New series of Open Architecture COTS modules features NVIDIA Pascal-based 3U OpenVPX and XMC mezzanine modules with video capture and 3G-SDI interfaces
ASHBURN, Va. – April 24, 2018 -- Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions division today announced the first members of a new series of rugged graphics modules for video capture, processing, and display applications in deployed embedded defense and aerospace systems. As the number of high-resolution cameras and sensors and graphics-intensive applications, such as digital moving maps and diminished visual environment (DVE) systems, proliferate on deployed platforms, embedded system integrators seek the highest performance video capture, image processing, and graphics display technology. To meet these requirements, Curtiss-Wright has added three new graphics modules to its industry-leading range of OpenVPX and XMC modules. The XMC-4730 XMC Graphics mezzanine module and VPX3-4731 3U OpenVPX Graphics Processor bring the NVIDIA Pascal GPU architecture to embedded defense and aerospace applications. Both modules provide digital DVI, DP, and HD/3G-SDI interfaces, and include analog capture interfaces for legacy compatibility. For embedded systems that don’t require the NVIDIA GPU, the XMC-4701 XMC Video Capture mezzanine card eases the integration of video capture functionality. It also supports HD/3G-SDI and analog interfaces.
Resulting from its recently announced Reseller Agreement with WOLF Advanced Technology, these high-performance, pre-validated XMC and OpenVPX modules complement Curtiss-Wright’s previously announced family of NVIDIA Pascal GPGPU modules by speeding and easing the integration of video acquisition and graphics processing functionality in demanding video capture, process, encode and display applications.
“Our customers are increasingly demanding the best-in-breed benefits of NVIDIA graphics technology on open standards-based 3U OpenVPX boards and XMC mezzanine modules,” said Lynn Bamford, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Defense Solutions division at Curtiss-Wright. “Resulting from our recently announced VAR relationship with WOLF Advanced Technology, our new series of 3U VPX and XMC card graphics solutions provides system designers with a selection of size, weight, and power-optimized COTS solutions using the latest NVIDIA Pascal graphics technology for powerful video and display applications.”
