WAV Systems builds video capture and compression boards for high-speed industrial inspection — custom FPGA firmware, built in-house, tuned for lines where every frame matters.
From sensor input to network output, the whole signal path runs on hardware we designed and firmware we wrote ourselves — no licensed codec cores, no third-party vision chips.
Six CXP-12 inputs on BNC, and a single unit drives two cameras. Up to 3×16-bit color or mono, at the line-scan and area-scan rates your inspection point actually needs.
In-house firmware handles capture, 4GB of on-board buffering, and pre-processing at line speed — including Hough-transform edge detection with per-frame adjustable segmentation. No software bottleneck.
JPEG XS, lossless or lossy, encoded in real time. Tuned for throughput and image fidelity — not a generic off-the-shelf codec.
10GigE over SFP+, 10GigE Vision compliant, into your existing inspection, storage, or analysis system.

No licensed IP cores or merchant vision chips in the signal path — we control the roadmap and can fix or extend anything, fast.
We customize the FPGA firmware for a specific sensor, throughput target, or data format when the standard configuration isn't enough.
Designed for inspection points where a dropped frame or a missed defect costs real money — not general-purpose vision on a budget.
Wafer, panel, and PCB inspection lines where resolution, throughput, and yield protection justify premium hardware.
Automotive, pharma, and medical device lines where scrap and downtime carry a high cost per hour.
Board-level hardware for integrators building high-speed inspection systems who need more headroom than off-the-shelf smart cameras provide.
Deep background in capturing, processing, and moving high-bandwidth video in demanding, real-time environments.
Custom firmware design from the ground up — not integration of someone else's IP core.
End-to-end hardware design experience, from schematic through a board that survives real production environments.
We're taking on a small number of early design partners — teams with a specific throughput, resolution, or latency problem that off-the-shelf machine vision hardware isn't solving.
