Neousys PCIe-NX154 AI Frame Grabber Cards with Jetson Orin NX and Four 2.5GbE PoE+ Ports

Legacy machine vision systems and video analytics servers often need deep learning for detection, classification or tracking, but their hosts have no room for a new GPU and the cameras need power over the cable. The Neousys PCIe-NX154 series answers with a family of AI frame grabber cards that each carry an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX module and four PoE+ camera ports on a single-slot, half-length PCIe card. Neousys names 19-inch rack-mount IPCs and off-the-shelf box PCs as typical hosts.

Four 2.5GBASE-T RJ45 ports connect industrial GigE cameras or IP cameras, and each delivers up to 25.5 W under IEEE 802.3at PoE+ within a 50 W total budget for the four ports. The card fits a single PCIe x4 slot and communicates with the host over Gen2 x1 signals at 2.5 Gb/s total bandwidth. Image capture, video streaming, pre-processing and inference all run on the card, so deep-learning work comes off the host CPU and GPU. The Jetson Orin NX pairs an Ampere GPU and Arm Cortex CPU with LPDDR5 at 3200 MHz and JetPack, and Neousys rates the series at 100 INT8 TOPS from 1024 CUDA cores, 32 Tensor cores and 2 NVDLA engines, with up to four 4K30 decode streams. One RS-232 and one isolated RS-485 port sit on the card.

The two builds differ in module memory, and both ship with a 128GB NVMe SSD holding a pre-installed system image in an M.2 2242 M key socket at PCIe Gen4 x2. The PCIe-NX154-JON8 carries the Jetson Orin NX 8GB. The PCIe-NX154-JON16 carries the Orin NX 16GB for workloads that need the larger memory. Ports, power and mechanical design are otherwise the same.

The cards operate from -25 to 60 °C with airflow in 20W TDP mode, without throttling at 60 °C; 2.5G links are limited to 60 °C by the Intel I225-IT, and a wide-temperature NVMe is needed outside 0 to 60 °C. Storage is -40 to 85 °C. Each card measures 167.7 x 111 mm and weighs 0.4 kg. Development I/O covers Gigabit Ethernet, two USB 2.0, micro USB OTG, a 4K60 DisplayPort and a 12 V DC input for standalone development or loads above 66 W. Both work with Windows and Linux hosts and carry CE and FCC Class A to EN 55032 and EN 55035. Neousys names vision inspection, intelligent video analytics, and surveillance and security.
