PCIe-GL26 is an AI-enabled automotive six-port GMSL2 camera frame grabber card. It is a turnkey industrial-grade frame grabber solution that incorporates drivers for selected GMSL2 cameras with video streaming sample codes.

PCIe-GL26 aims to provide superior outdoor vision capability with automotive GMSL2 camera connectivity to advanced x86 autonomous vehicle computing platforms. Automotive GMSL2 cameras are ideal for autonomous vehicle applications due to their advanced features, such as IP67 waterproof, high dynamic range (120dB HDR), auto white balance (AWB), and LED flicker mitigation (LFM). It also benefits computer vision applications in outdoor environments where illumination conditions are constantly changing. Powerful x86 computers with PCIe-GL26 can obtain high-quality images with minimal latency regardless of lighting conditions, from bright sunny days to pitch-black nights.

With a half-length, standard height, and single-slot form factor, PCIe-GL26 can be accommodated in most host computers with a PCIe expansion. With pre-built sample codes, a host computer can install up to four PCIe-GL26 cards and support up to 24x GMSL2 camera streams. Featuring a unique synchronization mechanism, it is capable of acquiring images from six GMSL2 cameras simultaneously within microseconds of channel-to-channel skew. It can also accept a GPS PPS signal to align image data with LIDAR or PCIe-GL26 in another host machine.

Powered by Jetson Xavier™ NX, PCIe-GL26 is much more than just a GMSL2 frame grabber card. With 21 TOPS AI performance, 6x GMSL2 camera inputs, 1x GPS PPS input, 1x RS232, and 1x isolated CAN 2.0, PCIe-GL26 is an AI camera sensor hub capable of sensor fusion and data pre-processing for ADAS or autonomous vehicles.
