WOLF-1570
Overview
Embedded AI and Video Conversion with NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada
The VPX3U-AD2000E-FGX2-IO module includes an NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada embedded GPU and a WOLF FGX2 in a rugged 3U VPX module. The NVIDIA Ada architecture includes CUDA cores for parallel processing, Tensor cores for dedicated AI accelerated compute, and Ray Tracing cores for superior rendering speeds. The WOLF FGX2 provides video conversion for formats which are not native to the GPU, such as SDI, ARINC 818, and CVBS formats.
The NVIDIA Ada GPU uses a new TSMC 4N NVIDIA Custom Manufacturing Process which produces a denser chip with increased power efficiency. The denser Ada GPUs have more CUDA and Tensor cores operating at higher clock frequencies at the same power, delivering significantly more performance per watt compared to WOLF’s previous generation product. The Ada AD107 GPUs can achieve up to two times the GFLOPS/W compared to the Ampere GA107 (depending on power and GPU temperature).
Unlocking the best performance requires the best cooling capability. WOLF’s advanced cooling technology is designed to move heat using a low weight, high efficiency path from the GPU die to the wedgelocks.
Block Diagram
The block diagram shows the RTX 2000 Ada GPU paired with FGX2, emphasizing the ingest/egress path where SDI/ARINC/CVBS-class signals are captured/converted by FGX2 and routed into GPU memory for processing. It highlights the low-latency data movement path from video I/O conversion to GPU compute and back out through converted outputs or GPU-native display options.

FAQ
Choose WOLF-1570 when you need video ingest and/or converted video egress (SDI/ARINC/CVBS-class) integrated with GPU processing.
WOLF-1570 is a good fit when:
- You must capture inputs such as 12G/3G-SDI or ARINC 818
- You must output converted formats as part of the mission pipeline
- You want the video I/O tightly coupled to GPU processing for low-latency workflows
If you only need GPU compute plus native display outputs, WOLF-1578 is typically simpler.
Plan the I/O mix early because it impacts system wiring and downstream equipment compatibility.
WOLF-1570 supports configuration-dependent combinations such as:
- Inputs: 2x 12G-SDI/ARINC or 4x 3G-SDI/ARINC, optional CVBS
- Outputs: up to four outputs in SDI/ARINC-class formats, plus optional DP/HDMI/DVI
A practical approach is to lock:
- Required input formats and counts
- Required output formats and counts
- Whether you need a native display output in addition to converted outputs
Confirm profile alignment early because it determines routing and integration assumptions:
- Supported profiles include OpenVPX 14.2.7 and 14.4.4, and SOSA legacy 14.2.3 (configuration dependent)
- Confirm whether your chassis expects the selected profile for video I/O routing and rear I/O mapping
Because this module includes video ingest/egress, profile mismatches often surface late unless they are checked up front.
Most ordering-time decisions are about integration fit:
- I/O configuration: which input/output formats are enabled and in what quantity
- Display option: whether DP/HDMI/DVI output is required alongside converted video
- PCIe configuration: aligns GPU feeding and peer traffic to the chassis topology
- Power threshold (45W-120W envelope): confirm chassis cooling headroom
