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)
