* Outside VITA 17.1 specification | The StreamStor® FPDP2 mezzanine board can be used with compatible StreamStor® controllers to provide direct data input from Serial FPDP (Serial Front Panel Data Port) or other optical data protocols. When combined with a StreamStor® controller such as Amazon this interface provides data input performance of more than 500 MB/s. The FPDP2 mezzanine board supports a variety of data streaming applications such as: - Digital signal processing (DSP)
- High-speed data acquisition
- Radar and sonar
- Medical imaging
- Telemetry
- Satellite download
- High-resolution video
With its four independent optical ports the FPDP2 mezzanine board can support recording of up to four incoming data streams. The board can be ordered with support for data rates from 1.06 to 2.5 Gb/s and wavelengths of 850 nm or 1300 nm to support cable lengths up to 25 km. It can also support simultaneous data input and output on each of these ports. The board uses the industry standard LC optical connector for easy connection to compatible data sources. Standard support is provided for the Serial FPDP protocol (ANSI/VITA 17.1-2003), which is a highly specialized protocol optimized for maximum data rates and minimum overhead. With packet formation and management performed by the hardware, there is no latency or other delays to affect data transmission performance. Combined with StreamStor® storage controllers this data interface provides a reliable and sustainable high-speed data recording and playback solution. Other protocols can be supported with updates to the onboard Altera Stratix FPGA hardware. The flexibility of programmable logic makes it possible to customize the hardware to each unique application. |
