High-density computing with full-size expansion
Zebra® Supersight is a high-density industrial computing platform capable of accommodating up to four computers in a standard 4U enclosure. Each computer or compute cluster is equipped with an embedded Intel® Core™ processor, and works alone or together with the others to implement distributed computing. A high-speed PCIe® switched fabric backplane ensures efficient communication and data exchange between compute clusters as necessary. The same backplane accepts full-size PCIe expansion cards for a broad range of image acquisition, network interface, processing offload, and acceleration options from Aurora Imaging and third parties. Zebra Supersight vision controllers—Zebra Supersight Solo, Zebra Supersight Duo, and Zebra Supersight Quad—are fully supported by Zebra Aurora Imaging Library™ (formerly Matrox Imaging Library) an established collection of software tools for developing industrial imaging applications; this software development kit (SDK) helps developers deliver a complete solution in a timely manner. Backed by a carefully managed lifecycle and consistent long-term availability, the Zebra Supersight series provides a solid foundation for demanding machine vision applications.
Benefits of the Supersight Vision Controller
- High-Density Computing Platform - Supersight is capable of accommodating up to four computers in a standard 4U enclosure. Each computer has an embedded Intel Core processor, and works alone or together to implement distributed computing for acquisition and processing needs.
- Scalable Expansion Capacity - Scale system performance from one to four computing clusters for demanding image acquisition, interface, processing offload, and acceleration needs. The 4U chassis holds up to 10 full-length and one half-length, full-height PCIe cards.
- Switched Fabric Backplane - A unique multi-segmented backplane lets users split acquisition and processing over one, two, or four compute clusters for optimal expansion capabilities. Add-in cards can be assigned to any SHB, even if the card is in a different segment.
Additional Software Features
- Aurora Imaging Library, formerly Matrox Imaging Library, machine-vision software development kit (SDK) has a deep collection of tools for image capture, processing, analysis, annotation, display, and archiving. Code-level customization starts here.
- Aurora Design Assistant, formerly Matrox Design Assistant, integrated development environment (IDE) is a flowchart-based platform for building applications, with templates to speed up development and bring vision applications online quicker.
