SDV

Single SBus slot digital video camera interface. Provides high-resolution image capture. Spatial and depth resolution and the number of buffers are limited only by the host memory. Images can be captured and displayed in real-time. The SDV is compatible with Noesis Vision, Inc.'s Visilog image processing and analysis software package, General Imaging Corp.'s ProtoPIPE Image Processing package, and EDT's Imagebrowser disk array capture/storage/retrieval software.

• Supports 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 24 bit resolution
• Data rates to 20 MB per second. Some SBus hosts may not support the SBus bandwidth required by a given camera. Contact EDT, Inc. for advice on selecting the appropriate host.
• Direct memory access makes SDV camera resolution independent
• Programmable mode, exposure time, gain, black level and triggering
• Device drivers for Solaris 1.x (SunOS 4.1.x) and Solaris 2.x (SunOS 5.x)

Software:- comes with a configurable device driver, a C interface library, example programs, and an X-Windows based camera control and image capture display program. The driver provides direct virtual memory access for the SPARCstation, including features for controlling the device and determining its status.

Video Interface. A programmable gate array is configured for a specific video camera when the driver is loaded. Thirty-two RS-422 signals are configured as inputs or outputs, as required by the camera. Outputs can also be configured as single-ended for TTL camera control lines. The SDV contains no memory. Video data is stored in host memory as required by the camera and application.

Cables:- Ten-foot cables compatible with the camera supported are included.
