VadaTech Announces a Rugged, High speed DSP unit utilizing Xilinx VU13P with Integrated Layer 3 Managed Switch

VadaTech, a leading manufacturer of integrated systems, embedded boards, enabling software and application-ready platforms, announces the VT971. The VT971 is a rugged conduction cooled unit which follows VITA 47 for environmental up to CC4/C3/V3/OS2.

Henderson, NV - July 27, 2021 - VadaTech, a leading manufacturer of integrated systems, embedded boards, enabling software and application-ready platforms, announces the VT971. The VT971 is a rugged conduction cooled unit which follows VITA 47 for environmental up to CC4/C3/V3/OS2. The unit accepts 32 high-speed SERDES to the Xilinx XCVU13P FPGA, which is supported by two 64-bit wide banks for DDR4 memory for the total of 16GB of memory. The FPGA is integrated with a Layer 3 Managed Gbe/10GbE Ethernet Switch, providing 26 Egress port via front of the unit. The module supports 24 GbE through RJ-45 (10/100/1000Base-T) and dual 10GbE via SFP+.


The VT971 has a quad core ARM processor utilizing four Cortex-A53 cores running at 1.4GHz. The CPU manages the layer three switch and interfaces to the FPGA via PCIe. The VT971 is ideal for applications where signals are digitized at a remote location and processed at a different site. The unit is available in conduction cooled form only and operates with input power of 10-36V DC.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
