Description
The Neousys PCIe-NPL54 is a fanless, single-slot PCIe frame grabber card designed for high-performance GMSL2 camera integration in automotive, industrial, and embedded applications. Featuring four GMSL2 FAKRA Z inputs, it supports a wide range of camera resolutions, including 8MP, 5MP, 3MP, and 2MP. The built-in GPS PPS input and output enables precise frame synchronization for advanced vision systems.
Engineered for reliability, the PCIe-NPL54 operates in extreme environments with a wide -40°C to 70°C temperature range and requires no external PCIe power cable. With its x4 Gen2 PCI Express interface, the card ensures high-speed data transfer and low latency performance, making it an ideal choice for real-time vision processing on Linux-based host systems.
