EDT (Engineering Design Team, Inc.) designs and manufactures low-cost, high-performance Camera Link® frame grabbers, simulators, and fiber-optic extenders (for tens to thousands of meters, depending on transceivers). We developed the first, and still the best, reliable long-range extenders. Our products work with desktops, workstations, and embedded systems running multiple camera models and modes (base through 80-bit), form factors (PCIe, PCI, PMC, cPCI), and operating systems (Windows, Linux). All products include free, cross-platform API and SDK, with excellent engineer-to-engineer support available.
PMC DV FOX is a high-performance Camera Link frame grabber for PMC. It supports one medium- or up to two base-mode cameras remotely (maximum distance dependent upon transceivers used). Images of any resolution are captured in real time and sent via DMA to the host for processing. The board pairs with an EDT RCX C-Link module to extend data over fiber-optic cable. Alternatively, this fiber-optic interface can be incorporated into the camera. Camera speed, resolution, and number of buffers are limited only by host bandwidth and memory. Line and frame triggering are supported over camera control lines. Included are software/driver packages for supported operating systems (Windows and Linux) and an SDK that includes C language libraries, examples, utilities, image capture and display GUI, camera configuration files, and Camera Link standard DLL for camera control.
