Dear customers and partners,

summer is gone and we have used that season to optimize our products. With DMA900 technology we are introducing the fastest Camera Link frame grabber based on PCIe x4 world-wide. We performed a successful performance test on the currently fastest Camera Link camera Basler A406k by now. Achieving transfer rates of about 900 MB/s we even exceed the highest Camera Link specification.

The VISION show is coming up. Many preparations are focussed on that event, starting from November, 9th until 11th. We hope, you will use this fair for a visit at our booth. Please use our offer for free admission tickets. We would like to welcome you in November at our booth 4D72 in hall 4.

Sincerely yours,

Andreas Marx Sales Manager	Michael Noffz Head of Marketing

VISION 2010

The microEnable IV series is prepared for the full Camera Link speed via the PCIe x4 interface und reaches a transfer rate of 837 MB/s at full camera resolution of the A406k/kc camera at 2320*1726 pixel and a repetition rate of 209Hz in 10 tap full configuration mode. In a maximum data test our frame grabbers reached a transfer performance of up to 900 MB/s.

The combination of both components constitutes one of the most powerful systems for Machine Vision and is at the same time a solution with great cost-effectiveness.

As the data is transferred through the DMA channel to the host RAM no further processing is needed for (the) image reconstruction. The multi-board supporting frame grabbers support the use and synchronization of several full configuration cameras on one system. microEnable IV AD4-CL and VD4-CL support Windows and Linux operating system in 32bit and 64bit mode.

Silicon Software now delivers SmartApplets as partial solution for Machine Vision applications which run on programmable microEnable IV V-series framegrabbers.

SmartApplets exceeds classical image pre-processing. It calculates complex image processing with a high algorithmic quality in real-time on the on-board FPGA.
Both available SmartApplets families “binarization” and “blob/segmentation” support the image acquisition from area scan and line scan cameras. Besides image enhancements and corrections, images are de-noised and binarised by an adaptive threshold on base of big kernels. Moreover the segmentation covers morphologic image processing to reduce small objects, before the object detection by a blob analysis is performed. The configuration of feature extractions enables an additional object classification. It is possible to transfer the original image as well as the feature list over separate DMA channels.

SmartApplets enables the acceleration of applications tremendously and reduces the load of the host CPU significantly.

SmartApplets are supported by PCI Express based microEnable IV V-series framegrabber boards for Camera Link and GigE Vision. SmartApplets are ready-to-run and can easily and quickly be adapted to applications by an intuitive configuration.

Sales Partner Meeting 2010

Our annual meeting with our international distribution partners was well attended and a great success. With updated presentations and background info about our available product portfolio and our future developments, our partners will serve you with most recent information and competent consultancy.

Your customer's feedback from each country and region will help us to coordinate your requirements with our developments more efficient.
We thank our partners for their visit, discussions and suggestions for further optimizations and new products.
