1x USB 3.0 Plugin Module
The idea was that with the USB 3.0 plugin module, any computer with USB 3.0 connectivity can be used as an AXIOM raw video ecorder to store and define the format/container/metadata/etc. of uncompressed raw 4k footage. A single module provides users with around 400MB/S bandwidth (3.2Gbit/s) - enough to record uncompressed 4096x2160 raw 12 bit video at 25 FPS. In theory, this could be doubled by utilising two modules. The USB3 Plugin Module incorporates an FTDI FT601 IC which acts as a multi channel 32-bit FIFO interface. With a different chip the FTDI FT602 general I/O and UVC playback would be possible.
Development State
Hardware was developed and after the software was working as well it was discovered that isochronous transfers were not working and the actual bandwidth of the transfered data througput was much lower than advertizsed. Therefore this project was discontinued.
