Business Wire
Avnet Electronics Marketing, an operating group of Avnet, Inc.
(NYSE: AVT), is helping to eliminate time and cost barriers to
develop industry-leading embedded machine vision applications with
today’s release of the Smart Vision Development Kit featuring the
Xilinx® Zynq®-7015 PicoZed System-on-Module (SOM). The low-cost,
all-in-one kit enables engineers in markets such as banking,
medical scanning, traffic management, point of sales terminals and
gaming to begin designing real-time embedded vision applications
within five minutes of opening the box. The low-cost development
kit will be demonstrated at the Vision Stuttgart event November 4-6
in Germany.

The Smart Vision Development Kit - the product of collaboration
between Avnet, Xilinx and leading machine vision partner Sensor to
Image - provides a complete hardware system for designing an image
processing system from sensor input to digital interface or video
output. The kit builds on the PicoZed SOM by providing a carrier
card supporting all essential machine vision protocols, including
GigEVision (GEV), USB3Vision (U3V) and CoaXPress (CXP), and a
swappable camera module featuring an image sensor from Aptina.
Optional camera modules supported by the kit include ON
Semiconductor’s new PYTHON image sensor family and Toshiba America
Electronic Components Inc. (TAEC) TCM3232PB full HD (1080p
high-definition) image sensor, newly designed for security and
surveillance applications. The PYTHON sensor image family is ideal
for high-end machine vision applications, and features a true
pipelined and triggered global shutter. TEAC’s TCM3232PB delivers
high-quality video capture at 60 frames per second, utilizing
Toshiba’s High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology for better real-time
image quality.
“As machine vision technology rapidly matures and applications
for embedded vision expand, designers are being challenged to
develop systems that can capture and process images as quickly and
accurately as the human eye,” said Mario Bergeron, technical
marketing engineer, Avnet Electronics Marketing. “This new Smart
Vision Development Kit combines the high performance and low cost
of the Zynq-7015 PicoZed SOM with industry leading smart and
machine vision technology and tools, which enable engineers to
deliver both the usability and performance standard expected by
users today, while providing a true shortcut from concept to
production.”
“The ability to add intelligence, or ‘embedded brains,’ to
traditional machine vision cameras opens up a wealth of
possibilities for customers to explore real-time analytics,
reducing interface bandwidth requirements and reaching faster
decisions by making calculations at the camera node,” said Yvonne
Lin, medical and vision manager, Xilinx. “With this kit, Avnet has
once again found a way to enable customers to leverage the
performance of our Zynq-7000 device family to drive development of
state-of-the-art embedded vision applications, while minimizing
development risk and accelerating time to market.”
“With an optional add-on card to CameraLink, this kit has
covered all the interface standards for machine vision. The
interface IPs available are Automated Imaging Association (AIA) and
Japan Industrial Imaging Association (JIIA) compliant, and
available as evaluation on this platform for enhanced out-of-box
experience,” said Werner Feith from Sensor to Image. “Collaborating
with Avnet and Xilinx, we can enable machine vision interfaces to a
broader market and customer base.”
The Smart Vision Development Kit cost is $595, and includes:
- Xilinx® Zynq®-7015 PicoZed SOM
- Smart Vision Carrier Board (supporting
ZYNQ PS Ethernet, GigEVision, CoaXPress, USB3Vision and HDMI)
