With increasing resolutions, frame rates, and heterogeneous interfaces, the complexity of testing camera and imaging systems is growing. Video Dragon 6222 addresses this challenge head-on and impresses with a modular hardware design, flexible sideband communication, and intuitive application software. The use of project-specific interface units, such as pin adapters, enables flexible implementation and a precise connection to the respective applications. Developers, test engineers, and production managers thus gain a powerful solution for reliably testing stability during continuous operation, interface compatibility, and timing.
Video Dragon 6222 combines a frame grabber and frame generator in a single device. This allows incoming video streams from high-resolution cameras to be recorded, visualized, and analyzed. It also enables the output of test patterns and videos with freely configurable resolution, color formats, and frame rates. As a “man-in-the-middle,” Video Dragon can integrate into existing systems without affecting their behavior. This flexibility enables rapid debugging of prototypes, objective verification of production products, and long-term and stress testing under realistic conditions. The modular architecture reduces integration effort and ensures investment security, as new interfaces can be added as needed.
The included Dragon Suite software offers a clear, intuitive user interface that provides access to all hardware functions—without any programming effort. The cross-hardware interface G-API is available for integration into custom applications. It maps all hardware functions and enables rapid automation, e.g., in validation environments, production test benches, or HIL systems.
The Video Dragon 6222 product family includes three models that cover all use cases:
- G CAR 6222 standalone device: Ideal for lab, mobile testing, and flexible setups;
- G PCIe 6222 PCI Express card: Directly in the test PC, high data density and automation; and
- G PXIe 6222 PXI-Express module: Optimized for modular test systems and fully automated production lines.
These variants enable end-to-end deployment—from the developer’s workstation through validation test benches to production testing.
