Tech specs


Notes:

Elphel latest model NC393L camera, powered by Xilinx Zynq SoC that combines high performance FPGA with a dual ARM CPU and generous set of built-in peripherals.

Among many nice features this new Elphel Open Hardware camera series have compressor bandwidth - up to 1 GPix/s (e.g., processing 10MPix@100fps).

Supports 4 sensors.

Image compression is implemented in FPGA under GNU GPL license. The camera is running on GNU/Linux operating system.

The camera implements a hardware command queue in FPGA to be able to set sensors configurations without interrupting the encoding work-flow.

Anyone is free to modify camera parameters, port or develop new software and hardware interfaces. For example it would be feasible to adapt new types of sensors by modifying only the sensor driver implemented in FPGA and some minor software development.

It has 1GB of on-board system memory and 512MB of additional dedicated video/FPGA memory (the NC353 has 64MB each of them).

with multiple ports, storage options, Gigabit Ethernet
