The DT3145 is a high-performance high-speed digital image acquisition board, based on the Camera Link standard.
The DT3145 is a high-performance high-speed digital image acquisition board, based on the Camera Link standard.
Its high-performance image capture capability combined with simple cable interfacing makes it an ideal solution for high-resolution scientific imaging, general-purpose image processing and machine-vision applications.
Camera Link is a high-speed serial data interface, developed by a consortium of camera and frame grabber companies, including Data Translation, that provides a convenient, single cable interconnect standard between digital cameras and image acquisition boards.
Camera Link is a universal interface, users can interchange different Camera Link digital cameras using the same standard Camera Link cable with the DT3145 frame grabber.
Fred Molinari, President, founder and CEO of Data Translation said, "Today's announcement will accelerate market acceptance of the Camera Link standard.
By providing OEMs with a base configuration and standard interface, they will develop applications that meet the major requirements of the machine vision industry".
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.
