EIZO Rugged Solutions Inc. has unveiled the Condor GR6S-AD2000, a rugged 3U OpenVPX video graphics and GPGPU card built around the NVIDIA RTX™ 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU.
The Condor GR6S-AD2000 is a SOSA®-aligned, I/O-intensive 3U VPX video capture solution designed for high-performance computing systems that require real-time video capture and AI-accelerated data processing. It supports up to six 12G-SDI video streams, including four dedicated inputs and two dedicated outputs. This flexible I/O architecture enables seamless multi-video ingestion, processing, and transmission, enhancing real-time situational awareness in mission-critical applications.
The NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Gen Embedded GPU features 8 GB GDDR6 graphics memory with 3,072 CUDA cores, 96 Tensor cores (fourth generation), and 24 RT cores (third generation). The NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture also includes an eighth-generation NVIDIA hardware encoder (NVENC) with AV1 encoding, which when coupled with the video capture capability of the product, delivers low-latency compression and video streaming capabilities, essential for C5ISR applications.
This solution features PCI Express Gen 4 (x4, x8, or x16 lane) connectivity and bifurcation/daisy chaining support, delivering high flexibility and ultra-fast data transfer speeds that help ensure unparalleled efficiency and responsiveness for data-intensive tasks.
Chris Fadeley, EIZO Chief Technology Officer, commented, “Capturing and displaying SDI video data in VPX systems has been challenging due to the mismatch between 75-ohm video signals and VPX connectors designed for 50-ohm and 100-ohm differential pairs. The Condor GR6S-AD2000 solves this by integrating a 75-ohm NanoRF aperture with our Condor Video Engine, enabling direct SDI capture and output within a SOSA-aligned payload. This seamless integration ensures true payload interoperability with SOSA-aligned backplanes.”
The Condor GR6S-AD2000 was developed in alignment with the SOSA Technical Standard supporting SOSA payloads 14.6.11-0 and 14.6.13-0. The solution is designed to meet VITA 47.1 environmental specifications for temperature, shock, and vibration.
