Software
The SDV comes with a configurable device driver, a C language interface library, example programs, and an X-Windows based camera control and image capture display program. The device driver provides direct virtual memory access for the Sun SPARCstation, including features for controlling the device and determining its status. Example programs demonstrate this capability using the functions provided in the library. An FCodes PROM is included on the card for identification and initialization.
Applications
- Computer-assisted manufacturing
- Computer microscopy
- Image archiving
- Image processing and and analysis
- Medical Imaging
- Multimedia
- Security
Specifications
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.
