ADEPT4000

SWaP optimized HD digital video tracker and image stabilization

Features

• Native High Definition image processing in
a SWaP-optimized package

• Rich feature set:

– Simultaneous target tracking, image

stabilization

• Ultra low latency for demanding
applications:

– Target tracking (<10ms)
– Video pass through (<1 video line)

• Easy to integrate:

– Industry standard digital video I/O for

rapid integration and ease of use

– High speed serial and

Ethernet connectivity

• Small and rugged for tough environments:

– Extended temperature range and

shock and vibration to MIL-STD 810F
as standard

– 5 watts* with power saving features

The GE Intelligent Platforms ADEPT4000
is a next generation, cost-effective, digital
automatic video tracking and image
processing solution for platforms where
SWaP (size, weight and power) is critical,
such as in the cramped space of small
autonomous vehicles and man-portable
devices. It builds on GE’s 20 plus years’
experience providing solutions to demanding
image processing problems.

The ADEPT4000 combines high performance
with low latency simultaneous target tracking
with any HD-SDI progressive digital video
signal, electronic video stabilization — in a
package smaller than a standard business
card, allowing flexibility in board location.

All image processing functions are optimized
for the lowest possible latency, with full frame
rate operation.

The ADEPT4000 incorporates on-board serial
links and Ethernet, allowing it to interface
to most platforms, and is designed for easy
configuration and device control with an
intuitive web-based interface. Although it is
a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) product,
it is fully ruggedized to survive the harshest
commercial and military environments.

An optional carrier card and carrier reference
design is available to speed evaluation,
design and integration.
