Features
Komodo Fiber: KY-FGF is high-performance yet low-cost frame grabber card supporting four SFP+ 10Gbps and a single QSFP+ 40Gbps transceivers (optical). The card is based on powerful FPGA, flexible DDR3 memory system with up to 144 Gb of memory and 128 Gbps throughput. A high speed 8 lane Gen 3.0 PCI express interface allows fast video transfers between optical links and computer memory while a versatile GPIO with multi-standard support enables connection to external devices.
Full camera control and configuration is also supported from host over PCIe interface.
The QSFP+ and SFP+ interfaces are connected directly to FPGA device transceiver channels to minimize latency.
All of these features combine make the Komodo Fiber ideal for a wide range of applications.
