ONYX-HD: High Performance Embedded Computing Platform for Video Imaging and Situation Awareness

Pre-Qualified Multi-Mission Rugged Computer

 
The ONYX family from Ecrin Systems is based on leading edge multi-core Intel® Core™ i7  processing capabilities to support a wide variety of mission requirements. Pre-Qualified MIL-STD-810/461/1275/DO-160 and in a lightweight, conduction cooled chassis the ONYX is an ideal choice for space constrained applications and harsh environmental conditions.

ONYX-HD is unique: instead of the traditional, expensive multi-slot VPX architecture, ONYX is built around a scalable and rugged multi-Core COM Express module operating between -40°C/+71°C.

It pairs cutting edge heterogeneous system architecture with an Intel multi-core i7 and Xilinx Kintex 7 FPGA capture engine. This set up combined with the latest generation AMD E8860 GPU, dedicated to parallel image computing, means the ONYX HD comfortably meets a wide variety of civilian and military requirements needing advanced Augmented Reality features, including video and data management, digital maps, tactical video overlays and mission management systems.

In a departure from the original ONYX system there is no XMC I/O module limited to PCIe 8Xlinks, but a high performance GPGPU dedicated MXC mezzanine with PCIe 16X Gen 2 links offering up to 8 GB/s bandwidth and a large choice of Digital and Analogic I/O video formats, from legacy STANAG up to new generation HD-SDI and 3G-SDI.
The added H.264 compression via Quick Sync from Core i7 means ONYX-HD is perfectly designed for UAVs or helicopter HD Video situation awareness missions.
