Building on over a decade of experience with its modular video grabber and playback system proFRAME, used in automated testing of automotive cameras all over the world, Solectrix is debuting the proFRAME Base Board 3.1 PXIe for the PXI Express standard.

The new proFRAME Base Board 3.1 PXIe is a robust 3U module using the PXI Express Gen 3 x8 bus, with support for integration into National Instruments’ LabVIEW platform for quick adoption into existing systems. It brings the extensive range of easily swappable proFRAME interface adapters to PXIe-based measuring and automation systems, enabling the connection of a wide array of automotive, industrial and medical cameras, displays, and ECUs. Typical applications include production and machine supervision as well as industrial testing applications in the aerospace, automotive or railway fields.

Just like earlier PCIe and CompactPCI Serial base boards, each PXIe module offers two slots for proFRAME interface adapters for up to eight video streams. With more than 15 adapters available now and new ones frequently joining the product range, proFRAME is a future-proof system that keeps up with technical development. Supported transmission standards include GMSL, FPD-Link, ASA Motion Link, A-PHY, HDMI, GVIF3, and CSI-2. Additional customer-specific adapters can be made available on request.

Solectrix CEO Jürgen Steinert comments: "Our proFRAME has been successfully deployed in a multitude of testing systems worldwide for many years. With the PXIe form factor, we offer our customers the opportunity to leverage all the strengths of proFRAME in PXIe-based systems as well.”
