Consulting and training
Project support and training for getting started with VisualApplets
Compatible portfolio
Full portfolio of cameras and programmable frame grabbers to effectively process large amounts of data
VisualApplets is the integrated development environment for real-time applications on FPGAs in image processing. It enables access to FPGAs in image processing hardware (such as frame grabbers, industrial cameras, vision sensors, and image processing devices), allowing users to implement unique image and signal processing applications. The software makes it possible to intuitively create and process complex applications, use preconfigured sample applets, or integrate proprietary HDL libraries.

Programmable frame grabbers are available pre-licensed for use with VisualApplets.
Software for FPGA Programming
The latest VisualApplets version combines all former standard extensions into a single license to empower your FPGA development:
The former ‘Expert’ extension (including ‘Parameters Translation’ and ‘Debugging’) allows existing HDL code from VHDL and Verilog to be imported and processed as a generic operator
Operator libraries provide functions such as segmentation, classification (e.g., blob analysis), and JPEG compression
New operators that represent loops in the dataflow model, enabling resource-friendly calculations of image sequences and comparisons, as well as image batch processing on the FPGA
An enhanced FFT operator (Fast Fourier Transformation) to implement more complex filters requiring a high computing load (such as band-pass filters) with resource efficiency
