CLEVELAND – May 1, 2009 – IEC Infrared Systems, a leading provider of infrared cameras and night vision equipment has introduced the VipIR™, a small form factor, FPGA-based computing module that provides a highly configurable and powerful platform capable of a variety of data processing, communications, and control functions.
Specifically designed for embedded applications, the VipIR™ provides a targeted solution where conventional digital signal processing architectures such as VME and CompactPCI are not viable. With its small size and low power requirements, the VipIRTM is ideal for embedded applications that require substantial data handling and processing.
“Our development of the VipIR™ system will now allow us to provide imaging features not found anywhere else in this market”, says Rick Pettegrew, CEO of IEC Infrared Systems. “This system will enable capabilities that will help the warfighter and the security professionals maintain situational awareness to a much greater degree”.
While the VipIR™ may be used alone as a general purpose processing core, the VipIR™ is also easily interfaced with other systems and additional VipIR™ modules, for applications that require even greater capability. It’s architecture allows for continual upgrading as component capabilities evolve, insuring its usefulness in the surveillance industry for years to come.
