The G-Link Piggyback board solution is dedicated for transferring uncompressed images from IE64-HS family boards to host workstation equipped with a BAP PCI transfer accelerator card. Some image processing scenarios require raw (uncompressed) images or losslessly compressed images to be transferred with a high speed exceeding the USB 2.0 bandwidth. In such case the PiggyBack module together with a dedicated accelerator PCI card are able to handle a video stream up to 120 MB/s. In this case the images are completely processed in the IE64-HS and sent to the host through a Piggyback, CAT7 cable and the PCI board. One PCI board can support three PiggyBack equipped IE64HS boards.

Technical Description:

• Full duplex serial 1 x 1200 Mbps transmission
