<strong><strong>IP</strong>focus</strong>Intelligent, 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.<strong>IP</strong> <strong>UserGroup</strong> to Support CCTV <strong>IP</strong> SecurityForum Milan (Italy) – 26th May 2010<strong>IP</strong> <strong>UserGroup</strong> executives Paul and Andy Henningswill be winging over to Milan in May to spread theword on behalf of <strong>IP</strong> <strong>UserGroup</strong> Members fromacross the world.Ethos Media Group presents a brand new formatgoing beyond the trade show, beyond theconvention, beyond CCTV:Cctv <strong>IP</strong> 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 <strong>IP</strong> isthe protocol where networks, processes andtechnologies converge.

<strong><strong>IP</strong>focus</strong>Arecont Vision IntroducesWorld's First H.264 DualMode 10MP Camera.Seeing Is Believing: 10 Megapixel ResolutionCombined With 1080p at 30fps HD Compatibility.Arecont Vision introduced the world's first H.264 Dual Mode 10MP/1080pcamera at the ISC West conference. The innovative Dual Mode cameracombines the resolution of a 10 megapixel camera and a full HD 1080p at30fps camera into one camera system.The AV10005 Series, available in color, day/night and color auto-irisversions, are the latest additions to the industry's broadest line ofmegapixel cameras from Arecont Vision. “As the leader in <strong>IP</strong>megapixel video, Arecont Vision continues to push the envelope andprovide the market with cutting edge innovation, the best priceperformance ratio as well as convenience and ease of use for ourcustomers.Our new AV10005 Series merges the functionality of two cameras intoone providing the unique ability to operate in either 10 megapixelresolution or in Full HD1080p at 30fps,” said Dr. Michael Kaplinsky, CEO,Arecont Vision. “This camera offers our customers the ability to use asingle camera model to solve a multitude of challenging requirementsthat exist in complex installations.” This H.264 Dual Mode Cameraoffers 33 times the resolution compared to standard definition VGAcameras. It also provides the versatility to crop the field-of-view to anyresolution (5MP, 3MP, etc.), select 4x3 or 16x9 (1080p HDTV) aspect ratio,and apply H.264 or MJPEG compression to best suit the application. Thecameras also offer a binned mode that combines and averages pixelsfor better low-light performance, greater sensitivity and improvedsignal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In 10MP mode, the AV10005 Camera provides3648x2752 pixel resolution at 6 frames-per-second (fps). In 1080 mode, itprovides Full HD1920x1080 at 30 frames per second.Users can digitally pan, tilt and zoom live with multiple zoom windowswhile recording the full field-of-view in 10 megapixel or full HD 1080p.Post event forensic zooming is also possible from archives to extractrecorded details. Other Features include on-camera real-time motiondetection with 64 detection zones, a programmable shutter speed tocontrol motion blur and MoonLightTM mode for extended exposure andnoise cancellation.The AV10005 Series is the latest addition to Arecont Vision's full line ofcameras ranging in image resolution from 1.3 to 10 megapixels, includingcamera models providing advanced capabilities such as dual sensorday/night and panoramic viewing. Using H.264 compression, ArecontVision cameras provide outstanding compression efficiency to solvesystem issues related to bandwidth and storage.The Arecont Vision line also includes the MegaDomeSeries of all-in-onedome cameras and a new compact JPEG series of cameras to addresscost-sensitive applications.issue 27_27
