Daily Product Highlights 2006 p10 of 22:

• Module is powerful
  AV339 is a plug-in module for use with the AV114, AV310, and AV310Q carriers. The image-processing engine is based on the Texas Instruments TMS320DM642 video DSP. It is software-compatible with C64x using Code Composer Studio. The DM642 runs up to a clock rate of 720 MHz. It features a two-level cache-based architecture. The DM642 can perform four 16 ? 16 multiplies or eight 8 ? 8 multiplies per clock cycle.
• MPEG device converts signals
  The 2250 video-capture device converts analog NTSC or PAL color video and audio into one of the supported MPEG digital video formats: MPEG1, MPEG2 (MP@ML), or MPEG4 (SP@L3). The device connects to the host computer and is powered through a USB 2.0 port. The 2250 is shipped in a metal enclosure. A board-level version is available for OEMs.
• Device links CAN to PC/104 systems
  CAN104 implements a two-port high-speed controller-area-network (CAN) interface in the PC/104 form factor. The board contains two Philips SJA1000 CAN controllers. CAN104 supports the BasicCAN mode (power up default) and the enhanced functionality PeliCAN mode. In the PeliCAN mode the CAN104 handles all CAN frame types according to CAN specification 2.0B and provides error-analysis functions to support diagnosis, system maintenance, and performance optimization.
• Remote-head camera fits small space
  The CS3821D, a remote-head monochrome camera, is engineered for vision applications where mounting space is restricted or a lightweight camera is needed. It features industrial-grade ruggedness, 60-frame/s output at full VGA resolution (659 ? 494), and the capability to mount the 17 ? 36-mm remote head up to 2 m away from the control unit. The remote head can be mounted on the end of a robot arm, a positioning stage, or a gantry.
• Lenses prevent aberration
  Lenses of the optics family LS 16--64 mm are for application with high-resolution sensors. Each system has 9 to 12 lenses. With MTF-values greater than 80% for 40 lp/mm over the whole field, the lenses are constant. The optics systems were calculated for the close range of about 1000 to 250 mm and an extended spectral area.
• Camcorder works in near-UV
  Digital, compact camcorder, the UVCorder, is a lightweight, portable system designed for viewing scenes in the near-UV in real time on a 3.5-in. LCD display. The ultraviolet camera module features enhanced UV response in the 300- to 400-nm range, with a peak response at 370 nm, and excellent rejection of visible and infrared light. The module is mounted on a commercial camcorder, from which it receives power.
• Linescan camera runs fast
  LightWise LW-PE-2048-1394, a 1394 linescan camera, has 2048 ? 1 pixels running at 18K lines/s. Based on the Perkin-Elmer Super Sensitive CCD, it is low-cost, small form factor for OEM customers. This camera is targeted toward machine vision, automated assembly, and metrology.
• Shutter is efficient
  The 25-mm aperture version of the company's N-CAS (noncontact actuation system) shutter, the NS25, has only six moving parts, five of which are the shutter blades. There are no solenoids, no linkages, and no external damping system. The damping system has been integrated into the device to provide long-lasting, quiet operation.
• Camera combines visible and thermal imaging
  Dual-sensor, high-resolution, fully automatic CCD camera, the Thermal-Eye 2400xp, combines visible and thermal imaging in one camera. It features solar immunity, which allows it to stare directly into sunlight without the need for filters so there is no degradation in image quality, and it monitors the full perimeter in darkness, even in challenging weather conditions, eliminating the need for enhanced light.
• PC/104 module enhances configurability
  GPIO-MM is a flexible and reconfigurable PC/104 digital I/O module based on a Xilinx Spartan II FPGA. Use of an FPGA to implement the digital I/O logic allows the GPIO-MM hardware to be reprogrammed, in the field if necessary, to serve multiple PC/104 I/O applications with different digital I/O requirements. The initial configuration is backward-compatible with the company's Quartz-MM and Garnet-MM series of fixed-configuration PC/104 I/O boards.
