MAG4C PROAdvanced 3G-SDI Video Capture, GPGPU Mission Computer with Multifunction I/O
Advanced GPGPU mission computer with sidewall heat exchangers for highest thermal loads.
Overview
The MAG4C PRO is an advanced VPX based 3G-SDI Video Capture and GPGPU Mission Computer with Multifunction I/O options, engineered to meet the rigorous demands of GPGPU computing, AI processing, deep learning, and H.265/H.264 encoding and decoding applications. It features advanced hardware and robust cooling, making it ideal for use in challenging environments.
At its core, the MAG4C PRO is powered by a 8-Core Intel Xeon W-11865MRE Tiger Lake-H processor and is equipped with 32GB of DDR4 ECC SDRAM, ensuring reliable, error-correcting memory performance. For video processing, the system includes an NVIDIA Ampere RTX A2000 GPU with 2,560 CUDA cores, meeting strict data integrity requirements for mission-critical applications with uncompromised computing accuracy and reliability.
The video I/O is comprehensive, with 3x 3G-SDI inputs, 3x 3G-SDI outputs, and 1x VGA output. The MAG4C PRO’s connectivity is extensive, featuring 4x Gigabit LAN ports, 12x ARINC429 configurable TX/RX channels, 2x MIL-STD-1553 channels, 3x USB 2.0 ports, and 2x USB 3.0 Type-A circular connector ports. Additional I/O includes 8x serial ports, 2x audio stereo inputs, 1x audio stereo output, and 6x discrete isolated I/O. For maintenance, there are 1x RS232 port and 1x LAN port, with other I/O options available upon request. Internal storage options include a 64GB SATA on-board SSD and an internal 2.5” SATA SSD with Secure ERASE functionality via a hardware trigger, providing secure and swift data handling.
The system operates with a standard power input of +28Vdc, accommodating a range from +20V to +36V, and can extend to an extreme operating range of +16V to +50V. It adheres to MIL-STD-704F standards, with a 50 ms power hold-up capability for enhanced reliability during power fluctuations.
Physically, the MAG4C PRO is designed to be robust and compact, featuring a conduction-cooled architecture that is supported by an integrated forced air cooling system via a removable fan module. This design ensures consistent performance even under high thermal loads. Connectivity is supported by 4x MIL-DTL-38999 military circular connectors and 2x USB 3.0 Type-A circular connectors. The unit is designed for repairability at 2LM, with simplified operations for the replacement of internal boards, power supply, and fan module.
The MAG4C PRO is built to endure extreme conditions, supporting operational temperatures from -40°C to +70°C and storage temperatures from -45°C to +85°C.
The system meets IP65 environmental protection standards and is qualified according to RTCA/DO-160G standards, ensuring robust performance in the most extreme conditions.
