Data Translation Announces DirectShow Support for Award-Winning Scientific and Imaging Software.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers VISION SHOW EAST Booth 604 BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 4, 2004 Data Translation(R), Inc. announced today DirectShow(R) support in the latest version of its award-winning scientific and general-purpose imaging software. Users can now quickly leverage GLOBAL LAB(R) Image/2 3.6 to rapidly build applications using IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 1394 (FireWire) and USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. cameras. GLI/2 is ideal for measurement, analysis and image processing image processing Set of computational techniques for analyzing, enhancing, compressing, and reconstructing images. Its main components are importing, in which an image is captured through scanning or digital photography; analysis and manipulation of the image, accomplished in the scientific image analysis industry and general-purpose imaging markets. Previously, the company announced DirectShow support for DT Vision Foundry(R) 3.6, its general-purpose machine See general-purpose computer. vision inspection software. With support for a wide range of imaging devices, DT Vision Foundry lets customers easily build inspection applications using its point, click and script interface. Data Translation will demonstrate its DirectShow support for both DT Vision Foundry 3.6 and GLI/2 3.6 in booth #604 at Vision Show East in the Hynes Convention Center The John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center located in Boston's Back Bay has 193,000 square feet (0 m) of exhibit space and can accommodate up to four concurrent events. from May 4-6, 2004. The company will also highlight both products in the "Straight Talk" session located on the show floor at the end of aisle 100 on Tuesday, May 4th from 2:20-2:35 pm. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Fred Molinari, President, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. and Founder of Data Translation, "Because our products can be used by end users and developers alike for image analysis and machine vision applications, we decided on Vision Show East as the most appropriate venue to showcase the company's solutions for customers looking to improve productivity, quality and labor efficiency while saving money." Putting Inspection to Work The demonstration of DT Vision Foundry 3.6 simulates a high speed industrial inspection application. Measurements verify the position of a printed circuit board within a container and the images are captured using the company's DT3145 Camera Link(TM) board. The second demonstration shows how GLI/2 3.6 captures images of a slide taken from a DirectShow-compatible FireWire camera FireWire cameras use the IEEE 1394 bus standard for the transmission of audio, video and control data. FireWire is Apple Computer's trademark for the IEEE 1394 standard. mounted on top of a microscope, illustrating how GLI/2 and FireWire are both low-cost solutions for many medical applications such as cell and tissue analysis. Availability, Pricing and System Requirements To be used efficiently, all computer software needs certain hardware components or other software resources to be present on a computer system.
