Dewesoft Video Acquisition

Video acquisition in Dewesoft X
Dewesoft X video acquisition module offers the possibility to acquire video signals together with other sources. A wide range of
cameras are supported:
Low-speed cameras (up to 30 FPS): any DirectX compatible camera
Medium speed cameras (up to 600 FPS VGA resolution): Dewesoft DS-CAM cameras
High-speed cameras (up to 20.000 FPS at VGA resolution): where we combine data and video in post-processing or directly
use the Photron driver inside Dewesoft X (please consult the user's manual for details)
Thermovision cameras: Optris thermovision cameras
Required hardware Sirius, Dewe-43, Webcam, DS-CAM
Required software Prof (for DS-CAM support)
Setup sample rate At least 1 kHz

Dewesoft cameras
For applications requiring video which is truly synchronized to the dynamic sample rate, there is support for DS cameras. A high-
quality image with the automatic shutter speed (selectable) is controlled directly by the A/D card, which generates a pulse to drive
the camera. The result is a stunning correlation between each frame and the data.
Thermo cameras are supported by Optris, and Ultra-High-Speed cameras from Photron can acquire more than 2 million frames per
second but in limited resolution.

Applications
All DS-CAM cameras were designed to be high-shock and vibration resistant.
The DS-CAM cameras can run in triggered (sync) and free-run mode. The video is captured by real-time data streaming, even at full
resolution! Therefore, a Gigabit-Ethernet port is required.
The system requirements for GigE cameras are:
Gigabit Ethernet LAN port
Dewesoft X
(Clock possibility)
Core2Duo CPU
The applications at which the cameras are used:
machine diagnostic
product quality check
non-destructive testing
research and development
automotive crash testing
impact tests
logistics and transportation
manufacturing

If you have multiple DS-CAM cameras, we can provide adapters for syncing, powering, and connecting multiple cameras to
Dewesoft instruments.

3rd party camera support
If your application requires video you are not limited to using our own DS-CAM cameras.
Dewesoft X software supports all compatible Direct X cameras as well as 3rd party Optris thermal and Ultra-High-Speed cameras
from Photron. See the complete list of supported cameras. All camera sources are synchronized to analog data.

DS-CAM-88c: 88 fps @ VGA (640x480)
Color
Auto-gain
Auto-shutter (also fixed shutter possible)
Auto-white balance

Standard C-Mount
Small compact form factor
Low power consumption
Ruggedized (high-shock and vibration resistant, aluminum housing)
Real-time data streaming with full resolution
The camera supports the high-performance industrial standard GigE Vision. The standard introduced in 2006 provides a framework
for transmitting high-speed video and related control over Ethernet networks.
The benefits are high-speed data transfer rates up to 1GBit/s (based on 1000Base-T) connectable to every standard GigE Ethernet
port and cable lengths up to 100m.
Dewesoft uses OptoStream SDK for GigE communication with cameras that support the GigE Vision standard.
Important: For best performance, we recommended using an SSD for storing data. A disk write rate of 100 MByte/s should be
established, especially if using more than 1 camera!
System requirements:
1 Gigabit-Ethernet port
Good PC performance (Core i5 CPU or better recommended, 4 GB RAM)

SIRIUS connection example
In image 11, you see a typical SIRIUS measurement instrument, consisting of one SBOX unit (integrated PC) on the bottom and one
SIRIUS slice on top (from the rear side).
The camera is directly connected to the Gigabit-LAN port. The second cable to the camera contains the power (from SBOX Power
out) and the trigger, connected to the SYNC port of the SIRIUS slice. The camera frames are now in perfect sync with the analog
data acquired by Dewesoft.
Note: Even if the camera is connected, syncing to other SIRIUS devices is still possible, because there are different pins used on
the SYNC port for triggering/synching.

Connecting multiple cameras
If you need to connect more than one camera, there is a special CAM-BOX2 available, which consists of:
wide-range voltage input (9-36V)
an industrial Gigabit-Ethernet-Switch (without Power-over-Ethernet! No supply for DS-CAM-600!)
Power and Sync distribution for up to 4 cameras.

Results (FPS) should be considered only as approximate MAX values. Writing speed of disk may be limiting factor (we used
SSD). We recommend testing cameras with your setup at about 0.8*max FPS and higher to find where corrupted image, frame
lost or buffer overrun will occur.
