General Characteristics
Video Dragon
basicCON 4121
is a
GOEPEL electronic GmbH
test system
with USB 3.0 and Gigabit Ethernet Interface to transmit or receive
video data. The test system has been especially adapted to the
requirements and transmission standards of the automotive industry.
This way, in addition to the video data, also audio data and control
data can be handled.
The
Video Dragon
stands out by its easily changeable
Media Interface
Module
, by that the system can be quickly adapted to current test
tasks. So, the
Video Dragon
is transformed to a Frame Grabber from a
Frame Generator or vice versa by a few actions only. Moreover, it
supports a multitude of different transmission standards.
With this, the
GOEPEL electronic
Video Dragon
is optimally prepared for
executing present and future Test tasks.
The following performance characteristics make the
Video Dragon
to
be an extremely multifunctional Video test system:
High-Performance ARM Cortex A8 Processor
with three Video Coprocessors
1 GByte DDR3 operating memory
128 MByte NAND Flash
USB 3.0 and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for control and data
HDMI 1.3 compatible Monitor output for checking the live
stream of the video data, and with this also for the
configuration of the entire test structure
(see
external SATA II interface to connect external mass storage
devices (see
S/PDIF Audio output for checking Audio data
(see
Media Interface Slot for inserting a
Media Interface Module
for
the technical system adaptation to the test object
(see
Currently available
Media Interface Modules
support the APIX, FPD-Link, GMSL and HDMI standards for
transferring video, audio or control data
Universal, digital IO interface for triggering or status output
as well as for the interaction with test objects
CAN interface for configuration or restbus simulation of the test
environment (see
