The ST01 Custom Carrier Board is designed for a transport application. It operates at the heart of an in-cab rail system and receives IP video sent wirelessly from the platform edge, converts it to FPD-Link III and transmits it to two displays. The robust design ensures flawless operation even under intense vibrations.
The USB3 Vision Processing Unit has been custom designed for a specific medical application in the field of computer vision assisted surgery. The unit has four inputs for USB3-VisionTM cameras and four 3G-SDI outputs arranged as two channels of video, each with a duplicate output.
The LM01 COM Express Embedded System is the core processing “engine” in the USB3 Vision Processing Unit but is available as an unhoused OEM unit, available with a variety of interfaces through the use of its PCIe/104 expansion capability. This unit is readily adapted for many embedded system applications.
The CM07 COM Express Embedded System has been custom designed for a specific medical application in the field of radiation therapy. This unit integrates many features and interfaces which dramatically reduced the size compared with previous PC server based solutions, as well as significantly increasing reliability.
The TC12 Embedded System has been custom designed for a specific automation application. The unit is designed to be low power and is based around a 32-bit ARM9 processor. This unit integrates two off-the-shelf DC motor controllers as well as various OEM I/O modules – all connected to the processor using USB2.
The VC2 Integrated Camera and Lighting Unit is a custom designed electro-optical unit with integrated lighting control, camera and lens. The unit is part of a computer vision based object recognition and sorting machine. The unit has been designed for high volume manufacture, deployment and a long service life.
The TC06 Embedded System has been designed for a specific automation application in high volume with a five to ten year service life.
The ARH Optical Reader is a custom designed electro-optical unit designed to sit on the edge of a roulette wheel and read the winning number, as well as ball speed/direction, wheel speed/direction and overall game cycle timings.
The CM04 Multi-channel Surveillance System has been custom designed for video surveillance in outdoor urban areas. The unit operates with 7 “situation awareness” cameras for a 360 degree field of view, plus a PTZ camera to focus in and record automatically controlled by video analytics software running on the unit.
The CM04 COM Express Embedded System is the core electronics used in the Multi-channel Surveillance System and is also available as an unhoused OEM unit. A high reliability custom designed embedded PC with eight channels of video acquisition integrated onto the mainboard, along with camera control such as RS-232/422/485.
The CM03 COM Express Embedded System has been designed for a specific medical application in the field of diagnostic ophthalmology. The unit is designed to work with GigE Vision or USB3 Vision cameras.
