The  Video Dragon 6222  is a test system from  GOEPEL electronics  with PCI/PXI Express interface or as stand-alone-box for generating and/ or recording video data. This test system has been specially adapted to the needsand transmission standards in the vehicle sector. Thus, in addition to the video data also control data (sideband)can be sent or received.

The  Video Dragon 6222  is characterized by its replaceable  Media Interface  module, which allows the system tobe adapted quickly to current test tasks. It is also a frame generator and frame grabber and also supports a widerange of transmission standards. This makes the  Video Dragon 6222  ideal for future test tasks.

The controller board  G PCIe/ G PXIe 6222  has been developed as a plug-in card for a PCIe/ PXIe bus system. PCIe(Peripheral Component Interconnect Express)/ PXIe (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation) devices can be easilyplug-and-play with little installation effort into your desktop or other peripherals. Using point-to-point connec-tions, the board connects directly to the RAM (or other assemblies) through a switch. PCIe/ PXIe provides a stablemechanical form factor and is standardized by an industry consortium that specifies hardware, electronics, soft-ware, power and cooling requirements.

The  G PCIe/ G PXIe 6222  board is designed as PCIe Version 2.1 and has 4 lanes. It has a bandwidth of 5 GBit/s perlane and a maximum transfer rate of 2 GByte/s (without protocol overhead).

The following features make the  Video Dragon 6222  an extremely versatile video test system：

◆ Xilinx MPSoC with Quad-Core ARM Cortex A53 Processor

◆ 4 GByte DDR4 RAM

◆ Gigabit Ethernet interface for control and data exchange with the PC

◆ Currently available  Media Interface  modules support the standards APIX2/3, FPD-Link III, GMSL1/2 forvideo or data transmission

◆ Exchangeable  Media Interface  module for technical adaptation of the system to the test object

◆ Versatile use for test objects with various connections thanks to the use of an adapter ( G Patch 6222 )

◆ Connection of the mainboard to the  Media Interface  module via a high-speed differential interface (e.g.MIPI CSI-2)

◆ Universal digital I/O interface for triggering or status output as well as for interaction with test objects

◆ Sideband communication using UART, SPI, I²C or MII; depending on the  Media Interface  module

◆ CAN-/ CAN FD interface for configuration or residual bus simulation of the test environment

◆ State visualization by LEDs

◆ Real-time clock for time synchronization
