Foresight Imaging Announces Common Vision Blox Software Drivers.Business/Technology Editors BOSTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 4, 2000 Foresight Imaging is pleased to announce Common Vision Blox software drivers for the I-Series(TM) of high performance, high accuracy frame grabbers and video streamers Streamers is a play by David Rabe. The last in his Vietnam War trilogy that began with The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel and Sticks and Bones . Applications developed using the I-Series and Common Vision Blox are being demonstrated in booth #400 at The Vision Show East conference and exhibition from April 4-6 at 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. in Boston. About the I-Series The I-Series includes I-Color(TM), I-Color MV, I-25, I-25 MV, I-50, I-50 MV, I-60, and I-60 MV. All I-Series products deliver extremely accurate video images and guaranteed high speed video streaming See streaming video and video stream. . The I-Series offers 4 multiplexed video inputs, pixel rates up to 60 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. , up to 10 bits monochrome video input, and up to 24 bits color video input. Contributing to its extreme accuracy, the I-Series features pixel jitter A flicker or fluctuation in a transmission signal or display image. The term is used in several ways, but it always refers to some offset of time and space from the norm. For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle as low as +/-1.0 ns and signal-to-noise ratios up to 59 dB. Powered by high speed PCI bus PCI bus - Peripheral Component Interconnect mastering, scatter-gather technology, and double buffering, the I-Series supports 120+ MB/second sustained PCI bus transfers to accommodate the most demanding video streaming applications. The I-Series supports simultaneous real-time display via real-time transfer of images directly to display card memory or via image transfer over the VIP/VMI over-the-top bus to industry-standard display cards. Additionally, the I-Series features independent, dual video data paths so users can display one type of video format (i.e. YUV The color encoding system used for analog television worldwide (NTSC, PAL and SECAM). The YUV color space (color model) differs from RGB, which is what the camera captures and what humans view. 4:2:2) and transfer another video format (i.e. 8 or 10 bit monochrome) for processing and measurement. For integration in machine vision environments, the I-Series MV products offer a variety of machine vision and camera controls including a strobe strobe n. 1. A strobe light. 2. A stroboscope. 3. A spot of higher than normal intensity in the sweep of an indicator, as on a radar screen, used as a reference mark for determining distance. interface, a dedicated high current digital output, a dedicated input trigger, sync I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output , camera integration control, eight general purpose digital I/Os, camera power, and more. About Common Vision Blox Common Vision Blox is a set of configurable software tools that can be used to develop powerful machine vision applications. Based on the combination of Common Vision Concept from Stemmer Imaging GmbH and VisionBlox from Integral Vision, Common Vision Blox establishes a universal software platform for machine vision applications comprised of algorithms that have been forged from thousands of installed turnkey applications. These tools offer the speed, accuracy, and reliability that comes only from extensive integration experience. Common Vision Blox is perfect for OEM's, system integrators, and volume end users that demand maximum flexibility and customization capabilities in a machine vision system. Pricing and Availability Common Vision Blox driver shipments for the I-Series are expected in June 1999. The software driver is provided free of charge with the purchase of an I-Series frame grabber.
