Video acquisition boards for the UK
Kane Computing has been selected by dPict Imaging to distribute their Aexeon and Nexeon ranges of intelligent PCI or PCI Express video acquisition boards in the UK.
Boundary scan test software for TI DSPs
Kane Computing, the UK Distributor for Spectrum Digital, has announced the availability of a boundary scan test software package for DSP, the DiaTem Debugger, from Temento Systems.
Consisting of a small camera head, detachable cable and custom frame grabber board, the Lightning RDTPlus captures 512 x 512 resolution images at 5,000 full frames per second (fps).
A blazing 100,000 fps can be achieved at reduced resolution for recording extremely rapid events.
The Lightning RDTPlus features extended recording times to capture long duration events such as vehicle rollovers and missile flights.
More than 13 seconds of full resolution recording at 5,000 fps are available without compression.
Greater than one minute of record time can be achieved by reducing the frame rate to 1,000 fps.
The ability to daisy chain multiple frame grabber boards further extends the record time.
A digital interface on the Lightning RDTPlus custom frame grabber board allows the output of a continuous, real-time stream of digital image data.
The digital interface is capable of streaming image data at up to 1.25 gigabytes per second - the maximum performance of the Lightning RDTPlus camera.
The Lightning RDTPlus is supplied with MiDAS software from Xcitex, allowing operators to perform vital motion analysis, to control up to four cameras simultaneously, and to save digital video data in different file formats including AVI , BMP, JPEG and TIFF.
Optional MiDAS modules provide the synchronization of high-speed video with instrumentation data from a variety of sensors, gauges, tachometers, IRIG encoders and other devices.
The Lightning RDTPlus is available with several distinct camera head configurations: monochrome, colour and low-light (for light challenged environments).
A single system can be purchased with multiple, interchangeable camera heads, providing the flexibility to record high-speed events in different situations.
