IPfocusIntelligent, High-Resolution, Machine Vision CamerasKane Computing have signed an exclusivedistribution agreement with ImagingDiagnostics Ltd to market and sell their rangeof Camelot Intelligent Machine VisionCameras in the UK.Camelot is a family of digital cameras formachine vision applications, with fast USB2connection and an embedded digital signalprocessor capable of performing advancedimage processing algorithms in the camera onthe fly and storing a buffer of images in thecamera without the need to send all images tothe PC. The cameras are intended for medicaland industrial applications requiring superiorimage quality, high performance and yetattractive pricing.Camelot smart cameras are the perfectoption for machine builders and productdevelopers looking for high quality, low costmachine vision solutions suitable for massproduction applications, harnessing the powerof an embedded Blackfin digital signalprocessor (DSP).The processor-centric architecture transfersreal-time image data from the module’ssophisticated on-camera sensor directly to theBlackfin BF548 high performance DSP forprocessing. 64 Mbytes of system DDR buffermemory stores enough image data to preventdata losses, and Blackfin’s high-speed 480 Mb/sUSB 2.0 connection streams live (30 FPS at1.3MPixels) pre-processed video to a host PC.Meanwhile, the Blackfin’s system-level 8/16-bitHost DMA Interface speeds data movementthrough the system.Incorporating a Blackfin, with its ability tosupport the required advanced imageprocessingintelligence in the camera itself, offloadscomputational cycles from the host PC,allowing the application to focus on itsresponsibility for image or streaming dataacquisition and analysis. The device’s USBconnectivity and low power consumptionfacilitate camera mobility and eco-friendlinessby providing standalone independence fromexternal power supplies, using only the powerfrom the USB. The processor’s standard serialconnections (multiple on-chip SPORT, SPI, UART,TWI and CAN interfaces) let the camera makeoptional glue-less connections to off-chipdevices including a full range of applicationspecificindustrial interfaces.A typical medical application is the use of aCamelot camera in a new hand-held medicaldiagnosis device for detecting Malaria thatreduces user error resulting in lowermisdiagnosis and improved treatment.IP UserGroup to Support CCTV IP SecurityForum Milan (Italy) – 26th May 2010IP UserGroup executives Paul and Andy Henningswill be winging over to Milan in May to spread theword on behalf of IP UserGroup Members fromacross the world.Ethos Media Group presents a brand new formatgoing beyond the trade show, beyond theconvention, beyond CCTV:Cctv IP Security Forum, the SOLUTION you need.If the CCTV is the driving force in securitytechnologies, then the Information Technology is themain vehicle for data use and exchange and the IP isthe protocol where networks, processes andtechnologies converge. Key players thus focus notonly on CCTV but also on all IP-based securitytechnologies integrating or completing videosurveillance systems.And if integration is the key driver of technologicalevolution in security, the market cannot restrict toproducts but it should rather focus on Solutions.Cctv IP security Forum, the TECHNOLOGICALSOLUTION you need.Cctv IP Security Forum, the first all-in-one exhibition26_issue 27on solutions, technologies and applications for videosurveillance and IP security based on arevolutionary concept of innovation. Innovation intechnology, innovation in contents, innovation inexhibitions, innovation in products and trainingprocesses.Cctv IP Security Forum provides “entertaining”training courses to present CCTV and IP SECURITYsolutions and technologies as you have never seenbefore.Cctv IP Security Forum, TRAINING SOLUTION you need.Five-pointed innovation at cctv IP Security Forum:Innovation – technological previews, excellence andvanguard products in the marketInnovation – not only CCTV: integrated securitysolutionsIntelligence – more and more integrated anddeveloped in new equipmentsInstitution – The institution will be attending aslobbying force on political decision makersInternationalization – orientation to foreign marketsboth in the expo area and in the meetingsHigh profile target, flexible and non-distractivelocation, top event management and a reliable andexpert team: these are the strong points ofCctv IP Security Forum, the EXHIBITION SOLUTIONyou needTop world security brand will attend the Cctv IPSecurity Forum.
