The DT3145 frame grabber is a base Camera Link configuration and includes the following key features: area-scan and line-scan capability; 4K x 4K spatial resolution (up to 16K for line scan) for high-resolution imaging; user-programmable camera controls and general purpose output signals; all standard functions controlled through one Camera Link connector; 32bit 33MHz PCIbus support handles large amounts of image data (80Mbyte/s typical, 132Mbyte/s maximum) without CPU intervention; single-port 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16bit monochrome, dual-port 8, 10 and 12bit monochrome and 24bit RGB camera configurations; asynchronous reset provides deterministic repeatability for machine vision; eight digital control lines (four out, four in) to monitor and control peripherals; digital input lines include interrupt on change for mission-critical timing needs; and nondestructive overlays for placement on top of live video - ideal for applications where display video and processing occur simultaneously.
The DT3145 frame grabber is compatible with DT Vision Foundry, Data Translation's powerful machine vision application software package, enabling both programmers and non-programmers to quickly implement custom machine vision solutions.
The DT3145 can also be used with Data Translation's Global Lab Image/2 for scientific imaging.
Global Lab Image/2 is a complete, customisable software package, ideal for scientific and general-purpose imaging applications requiring measuring, classification, counting and other measurements.
