Digital video goes the distance on optical fibres
Opticlink is a novel system for transmitting digital video over long distances (up to 10km) using fibre-optic cables.
Frame grabber embeds real-time capture
A new PC/104 plus frame grabber, the Picasso 104 offers real-time image capture that can easily be integrated into an embedded system.
It offers exceptional fast streaming video at an incredibly high-resolution on the computer monitor as well as outstanding resolutions on still images.
The impressive performance and revolutionary resolution on the Infinity X is achieved by combining state-of-the-art sensor design with innovative engineering skills.
A ground-breaking resolution of up to 21Mpixel in precise colour is achieved by integrating DeltaVu, a highly successful, patent pending technology invented by DeltaPix.
DeltaVu is a revolutionary technology designed to dramatically increase the image resolution of a digital camera.
The Infinity X has a 1.3Mpixel sensor with red, green and blue colour filters placed in standard Bayer pattern.
Through a process of combining precise position information of the sensor, and capturing additional images, by moving the sensor only fractions of the length of a pixel, the DeltaVu technology allows calculation of finer details than the size of a pixel.
This process also includes the same detailed reproduction at all pixel locations in each of the three colour planes, red, green or blue.
The result is an impressive image file, where 63Mpixel of captured information is available - 21Mpixel for each of the three colours.
The Infinity X is a small and compact digital camera with a standard C-mount interface for flexible attachment to microscopes.
Installation of the electronic connection is also very simple by connecting a single standard USB 2.0 cable between the camera and the computer.
The Infinity X uses the USB 2.0 cable for power, control information and the transmission of date.
The very low power consumption of the Infinity X has made it possible to use a single cable.
The use of the 480Mbit/s high-speed architecture of the USB 2.0 standard has allowed the Infinity X to deliver fast streaming colour video in high-resolution on the monitor of the connected computer.
With a rate of 60 frames per second the microscopy image appears on the monitor without delay.
The fast live image makes the process of focusing and interactively optimising the image very easy. Request a free brochure from Kane Computing ...
