Image capture capability and simple cable interfacing for high-resolution scientific imaging, general-purpose image processing, and machine vision
Data Translation has launched its DT3145 Camera Link PCI frame grabber.
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 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, a complete, customisable software package, ideal for scientific and general-purpose imaging applications requiring measuring, classification, counting, and other measurements.
