ALTHOUGH THE VIDEO INTERFACE IS A SMALL PART OF THE OVERALL VISION SYSTEM, IT HAS A LARGE IMPACT ON THE USABILITY, COST AND SCALABILITY OF THE FINAL PRODUCT.
Choosing the right video interface may mean the difference between success and failure for vision system designers.
Machine vision was born on the factory floor, and as technology has matured it is now automating tasks, guiding decisions, and improving outcomes across a widening range of applications and end-markets. However, as applications multiply and systems become more complex, designers face a growing set of challenges. Even as systems support increasingly detailed analysis, they must be intuitive and easier to use. Budget pressures often mean systems must deliver enhanced performance, without sacrificing investments in existing imaging equipment. Finally, systems must be simple and cost-effective to maintain and scale.
