PTU-D47 Fully Integrated Out-Door Pan and Tilt Unit

The PTU-D47 is an integrated computer-controlled pan and tilt unit designed for intelligent positioning and control of camera, laser, antenna and other payloads to 12lbs. It is a fully integrated design with single weatherised connection for power, control and camera/payload signals. Its compact size and light weight makes it ideal for mast/pole mount, portable/tripod and vehicle applications.

PTU-D100 Intelligent Pan and Tilt Unit

The PTU-D100 is an intelligent pan and tilt unit supporting intelligent positioning and control of payloads up to 25lbs. It is designed to support today's sophisticated applications in automated detection and tracking including human and no-human in the loop. The PTU-D100 withstands high duty cycles and offers long life in harsh all-weather environments for fixed and mobile applications.

Orlando™ CameraLink Framegrabber

The Orlando™ CL supports image resolutions up to 64k x 64k and clock speeds up to 85MHz. It supports both area and line scan cameras and is available in a PC/104+ or PCI Express x 1 form factors. The Advanced Trigger Control (ATC) is the heart of various I/O signals of the Orlando™ CL. The ATC can be used to:

trigger the camera (exposure control) by a signal transition on the General Purpose input
generate a periodical signal which can be used as line trigger for line scan cameras
set a video timing signal to a General Purpose output
start video acquisition after a specified edge of a General Purpose input
trigger stroboscope

Orlando™ Analogue Video Input/Output Board

The Orlando™ AN includes two analogue video input ports and two analogue video output ports. The Orlando™ AN can be configured as:

framegrabber to acquire video from two cameras at the same time
video output board to display images from the host
video in-to-out board to display incoming video data with video overlay.

Video scaling of the incoming video signal and adding video overlay can be done on board. The Orlando™AN is available in a PC/104+ or PCI Express format.
