Features
- Interfaces digital video cameras to SBus
- Supports 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 24 bit resolution
- Data rates to 20 MB per second
- Direct memory access makes SDV camera resolution independent
- Programmable mode, exposure time, gain, black level and triggering
- SUN SPARCstation compatible
- Single SBus slot
Description
The SDV provides high-resolution image capture for digital video cameras. Spatial and depth resolution and the number of buffers are limited only by the host memory. Images can be captured and displayed in real-time. Firmware to support various camera models is available. The SDV is compatible with Noesis Vision, Inc.'s image processing and analysis software package, Visilog, General Imaging's Image Processing package - ProtoPIPE, and EDT's MARK-8 and MARK-16 high speed disk arrays.

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
Video Interface
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.
Software
Drivers for Solaris 1.x (SunOS 4.1.x) or Solaris 2.x (SunOS 5.x)
