Runs directly on your embedded target
Native or containerized, for proof-of-concept work on the hardware intended for the product
Embedded Vision, Refined
ProtoVision
The minimal workstation for embedded vision teams — from sensor input to production-ready pipeline, without switching tools.
ProtoVision turns embedded vision work into a single, focused surface.
Instead of jumping between scripts, driver tools, sensor tuning utilities and ad-hoc dashboards, your team can inspect, adjust and benchmark the full stack from one browser-based environment.
01
Visual Pipeline Editor
Lay out image-processing graphs with immediate visual feedback, so algorithm experiments stop living in disconnected scripts.
02
Live Camera & Sensor Control
Stay close to the optics and sensor. Preview incoming frames, tune controls live, and validate behavior directly on the target.
03
GStreamer Media Designer
Understand and configure the media path from sensor to output with a topology view that makes hardware routing feel tangible.
04
Performance Monitoring
Keep runtime costs visible while you experiment — make informed tradeoffs before anything goes to production.
