Smart cameras get even smarter
A new series of smart cameras based on C64 processors from Texas Instruments provides 3200MIPS processing power (compared with 1200MIPS of the already fast current models).
A new series of smart cameras based on C64 processors from Texas Instruments provides 3200MIPS processing power (compared with 1200MIPS of the already fast current models) Progressive scan, asynchronous reset resolutions of 640 x 480 (64frame/s), 780 x 582 (65frame/s) and 1024 x 800 (30frame/s) pixels are already available, and more models are on the way

Easy development for vision applications
VisionTools is a PC-based graphical editor that allows a nonspecialist user to build a flowchart composed of "blocks" and connections.
Processing speed improvement is dramatic, while retaining full compatibility with existing applications developed in C or with the visual, icon-based development environment VisionTools.
Available memory has also been doubled (up to 16Mbyte SDRAM, 2Mbyte Flash memory and 128Mbyte on an internal smart card).
All models have an 100Mbit/s Ethernet (supporting TCP/IP, UDP, FTP, SMTP, socket, a Telnet-server and an HTTP server) and a 115.2Kbit/s RS232 port, plus optoisolated I/Os and outputs for strobed lighting.
A pre-emptive multitasking operating system provides real time performance for several concurrent applications.
Available models include an OEM, open frame, version for very low cost embedded applications.
