RV2
Overview
As part of a system is comprised of a machine vision color camera (VGAC), and
a dedicated video processor and collection device (RV2). Video is streamed from
the camera to the RV2 collection device where it is processed and stored. Camera
triggering is precisely synchronized to the collection system (RZ) allowing frame by
frame correlation between video data and other recorded system signals.
A number of methods support robust target tracking including red/green LEDs
mounted on the ZIF-Clip® headstage or limb tracking. Positional information is
available in real-time on the RZ device and can be processed and/or stored. Image
data is stored on dedicated hard drives within the RV2 in DIVX encoded AVI files.
Access to the RV2 storage array can be provided through a LAN connection or
direct connection to a PC.
The RV2 is recommended for use with TDT systems only.
Power
and
Communication
A fiber optic port on the back panel of the RV2 is used to communicate with an RZ
device. The RV2 receives timing pulses from a special DSP (RZDSP-V) and
returns real-time frame and tracking information for further processing and storage.
Communication to the RV2 is provided through a touch screen user interface
independent from the TDT system. Firmware updates for the RV2 interface are
available online through the TDT web server. See “Config” on page 8-15, for more
information.
