Xilinx Demonstrations – Booth #204

• Accelerated Machine Vision Development Using Embedded Visual Applets – Courtesy of Silicon Software
  This demonstration allows users to witness an embedded real-time image processing implementation designed in minutes with user-friendly Visual Applets' graphical user interface (GUI). From a list of high performance vision operators, users can simulate and target their design seamlessly onto a Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC without writing a single line of code.
• High Bandwidth Machine Vision Protocols GigEVision and CoaXPress – Courtesy of Sensor to Image

This demonstration showcases two video streams transferred with different high-speed protocols for machine vision cameras and frame grabbers enabled by Xilinx® 7 Series FPGAs and Zynq SoC devices.  Sensor to Image supports GigEVision 2.0 and CoaXPress IPs and software stacks that enable video transfer rates over 10Gb per second.
