EN715 can provide a list of rich I/O functions, which includes MIPI CSI-2 Camera Input, HDMI output, USB 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, GPIO expansion, Micro SD card slot, and Micro-B USB 2.0 for recovery. It also comes with a single-mold PCB terminal block for the easy power connection. It features the very compact dimensions for the highly reliable field installation and operates reliably in harsh environments with a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. Its rugged and flexible mounting options make it perfect for AIoT edge computing in the intelligent video analytics applications of Smart Retail, Smart Camera, Smart Medical and Smart City.
CHALLENGES
The primary challenge faced by users in the Goal Line Technology (GLT) project is the need for a highly accurate, reliable, and cost-effective system for real-time decision-making during football matches. Existing solutions often involved high costs and significant power consumption, making them unsuitable for complex stadium environments. The EN715 addresses these issues by offering a more affordable and energy-efficient solution. Each stadium is equipped with two types of systems utilizing powerful NVIDIA® Jetson modules. The Xavier NX connects edge cameras via USB 3.0 to captured real-time images, while the TX2 NX serves as the central processing unit to track routes. Together, they provide robust AI computing capabilities suitable for complex environments. Its compact and efficient design enables seamless deployment and operation, ensuring precise and real-time image analysis essential for GLT. This makes it an ideal choice for enhancing the accuracy and reliability of goal-line decisions while reducing operational costs and power consumption.
