Horizon boards : HORIZON LINK BOARD
The
HORIZON LINK board is an i2S multi-channel PCI board, designed for easy
interfacing with Camera LinkTM Line scan cameras.
The Horizon Link directly accepts:
- One or two monochrome Line Scan cameras (single or dual tap).
- One 4 tap Line Scan camera
- One color Line Scan camera
All data are reorganized in real time before being transferred to the DMA memory.
Extension modules are available to perform real-time lighting correction, edge detection, Run Length Encoding and filtering.
Technical specifications:
- Input format: CAMERA LINK
- Input depth: 1 to 4x8 , 2x10-12 bits
- Maximum pixel clock: 40 Mhz
- Max pixels/line: 16 K
- Buffer capacity: 4 mbit
- On-board processing: flat field correction, run length encoding
- I/O lines: 8
- Encoders: 2
-
Triggers: 2
Hardware:
- Plug & play 32 bit-PCI board
- Optimized PCI transfer from up to 4 DMA independent channels
- Camera LinkTM interface for line scan camera, monochrome, color, TDI, multi-tap
- Simultaneous grab for 2 monochrome cameras 8 to 16 bits
- Acquisition at up to 40 M pixels/s per tap
- Real-time data reorganization for high speed multi-tap digital cameras
- Add-on real-time flat field correction module
- Full camera control (exposure time, line frequency)
- Process synchronization (encoder, trigger)
- TTL input/output
Multiple Camera Interface:
The Horizon Link has up to 4 independent DMA channels to interface
multiple cameras to a single board
The Dual Base architecture allows two unsynchronized cameras to directly
interface to the same board with no external synchro box.
Software:
- Windows NT4.0 and 2000 Drivers (included)
- C/C++ Library (included)
- Interactive software CAP (included)
