Vision4ce - Video Processing Hardware
Video processing hardware for defence and surveillance systems
Vision4ce video processing hardware provides the foundation for embedded, low-latency image processing in modern defence and security platforms. Designed for use across land, sea, and air environments, CHARM modules and VPDU systems deliver the computing power needed to process, analyse, and distribute video from multiple sensors in real time.
The CHARM range of video processing boards supports deployment of Vision4ce FrameWorkx video processing software in embedded mission systems. Built on multicore ARM processors, each CHARM module includes direct video interfaces for cameras and displays, enabling compact, efficient integration. Supported video standards include PAL, NTSC, YPbPr, HD-SDI, CameraLink, CoaXPress, and Ethernet.
CHARM Embedded Hardware Modules
The CHARM range combines rugged design with advanced processing capability for EO and video management systems. Each board delivers the reliability, interface flexibility, and processing performance required for mission-critical video capture and analysis.
CHARM modules are designed to integrate seamlessly with FrameWorkx software, providing a scalable solution for applications ranging from situational awareness to targeting and surveillance.
CHARM hardware options include:
CHARM150AGX
Form Factor - 150 x 120mm
Power - 12VDC +/-5% <80W
The Vision4ce CHARM-150AGX is a standalone video processing board for embedded video and image processing applications, which is designed to host the Vision4ce FrameWorkx image processing software which builds upon the field proven DART video tracking software.
CHARM100NX
Form Factor - 100 x 100mm
Power - 12VDC +/-5% <30W
The Vision4ce CHARM-100NX is a standalone video processing board for embedded video and image processing applications. The CHARM-100NX is based on a NVIDIA Xavier NX embedded processor which incorporates a multicore ARM processor and powerful AI/ML accelerator.
MiniCHARM
