Modular system consisting of three parts, which can be combined with system accessories
The proFRAME series of modular video capture and playback systems consists of proFRAME baseboards, camera adapters and supporting software, and can be used with a variety of system accessories.
It can be used to capture, playback and process raw video streams in a variety of applications and supports common transmission technologies such as GMSL2™ and GMSL3™, FPD-Link™ III and IV (other technologies are available upon request).
In the automotive sector, the system is often used to validate ADAS systems or autonomous driving functions, but it can also be used in industrialized applications such as medical technology, digital microscopy and EOL testing.
As intermediary media authentication ADAS/AD embedded control unit
During Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) tests of ADAS or AD functions, the corresponding ADAS/AD Embedded Control Unit (ECU) provides the driving scene in the form of a video stream recorded during the test drive.
The key to verifying ADAS/AD functionality lies in the ability to accurately play back each video frame according to the time stamp of the recording. The proFRAME system is able to accurately and synchronously reproduce the driving scene in HiL for efficient function verification.
The system supports a variety of different camera adapters, and can play back video streams with common serializers (e.g., GMSL, FPD-Link) and control playback based on the timestamp information of individual video frames or external triggering signals.
For HiL systems built on software platforms such as ROS or ADTF, specialized integration templates - including the ROS™ Suite (ROS 2) and the ADTF Plug-in (ADTF) - are available.
Connect proFRAME SW API with corresponding software platforms to realize fast integration between proFRAME and HiL system.
High-performance system captures multiple camera data streams simultaneously
ADAS systems, such as traffic sign recognition, lane assistance, parking assistance, and autonomous driving AD, need to efficiently and accurately collect real-time data from vehicle sensors, especially from embedded cameras.
Verification of such functionality requires synchronizing the acquisition of multiple camera streams, time-stamping them accurately, and storing them. These recorded driving scenes are then played back to the ADAS/AD ECU to be validated during hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) testing.
proFRAME offers the perfect solution for this.
The system supports most common automotive grade cameras and can record up to 8 simultaneous 4K video streams (including sideband communication I2C) and has been successfully used in many types of data recorders for many years.
The timestamps of the input image data are processed with high precision by the hardware and can be synchronized with other recording devices via an external trigger cable.
Cameras can receive configurable voltage via coaxial cables (with support for coaxial cable power PoC), making them more flexible and easier to deploy.
Integration of data acquisition equipment to realize data recording and analysis
Multiple camera data streams contain corresponding high-precision timestamps. proFRAME provides a bypass function to synchronize the acquisition of data streams for both input and output processing.
The ATX4 high-performance in-vehicle server/BRICK2 data acquisition platform stores, processes and analyzes data, realizing a complete closed-loop process from in-vehicle multiphase camera image acquisition to analysis result output and storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What transmission technologies does the proFRAME system support?
- MaxicoM: GMSL2™ & GMSL3™
- TI: FPD-Link™ III and IV
- Sony Semiconductor: GVIF
- (Other transmission technologies are available upon request)
How to synchronize the proFRAME system with a multiphase machine?
proFRAME supports the synchronization of multiple cameras on a single substrate, as well as synchronization between multiple substrates.
With the proFRAME SYNC adapter, synchronized signals for camera triggering can be taken from an external trigger source and generated in the proFRAME baseboard. These signals can be sent to the camera or to an external trigger receiver. The adapter offers both input/output and dual input modes to meet the synchronization needs of different applications.
What are the common application areas?
As proFRAME has the ability to capture, playback and process raw video data streams in a wide range of applications, the system is widely used in many fields.
In the automotive industry, proFRAME is commonly used for ADAS system validation, hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) testing, and autonomous driving function validation.
In addition, proFRAME is used in industrialized scenarios such as medical technology, digital microscopy (e.g. sinaSCOPE, a 3D digital microscopy platform), and end-of-line testing (EOL).
