Key Differentiators
iWave’s frame grabber portfolio is built on the company’s ability to deliver end-to-end video pipeline solutions, covering video capture, processing, and data handling within a unified architecture. Unlike conventional approaches where vendors typically provide only compute boards or display modules, we enable a complete video chain solution that simplifies system integration and accelerates development cycles. The solutions are designed with deterministic low-latency architectures, leveraging FPGA-based pre-processing pipelines to enable real-time video processing with sub-frame latency. This approach ensures predictable performance in applications where timing precision and reliability are critical.
In addition, the platforms support high-performance heterogeneous compute architectures, combining SoC, FPGA, and GPU capabilities to address demanding vision workloads. This enables AI and machine learning acceleration, efficient handling of multi-stream 4K video, and scalable system designs ranging from compact modules to high-performance platforms.
iWave extends its frame grabber portfolio with solution-level integrations combining FPGA-based platforms and frame grabbers with NVIDIA GPUs. Using frameworks such as NVIDIA Holoscan and NVIDIA DeepStream, these solutions enable high-performance video pipelines with real-time AI analytics for next-generation vision applications.
iWave Global is a leading embedded systems company specializing in FPGA-based platforms, System on Modules, and ODM solutions. With over two decades of experience, iWave Global delivers high-performance, reliable, and scalable solutions across a wide range of industries including industrial, medical, automotive, and aerospace.
