Hitachi PIXCI D2X Overview

The Hitachi PIXCI D2X by Epix is a data capture board compatible with Hitachi and other CCTV cameras that come equipped with an LVDS (RS-644) data output connector. This board acts as the interface for grabbing data from the machine vision camera so that it can be processed by the host computer. In most cases, the board together with the included software will also be able to access and manipulate major camera controls like shutter, gain, and timing settings, which are then displayed in an Adjust Dialog box on the PC monitor.

Images are captured without modifying, processing or modifying pixel values. This ensures that images are delivered to the computer in the highest quality.

Included with the board is Epix XCAP-Lite software which supports up to 8 PIXCI boards and cameras in one computer. XCAP-STD is optionally available, and supports more advanced operations.

Highest Image Quality
The PIXCI D2X is designed for scientific and machine vision applications that require the highest image quality. To insure that precise camera data is always delivered to the computer, the PIXCI D2X board never compresses, processes or modifies pixel values.
Camera Adjust Dialog
Most cameras supported by PIXCI D2X imaging boards allow software control of exposure, gain, shutter speed, line rate, and more. The XCAP imaging program provides a dedicated camera Adjust Dialog for convenient control. A camera's Adjust Dialog is automatically displayed when the PIXCI D2X board is "Opened" from the Lite, Ltd, Std, or Plus versions of the XCAP program. XCAP knows which menu to load by reading the camera identification code from the PIXCI D2X board.
Supports No-Software Control Cameras
The Adjust Dialog uses camera control names designated by the camera manufacturer. As a result, the camera's user manual provides all the information required to control the camera from XCAP. If a camera does not allow software control, then the camera is equipped with physical controls and switches XCAP's camera Adjust Dialog is designed to appear like the camera's control panel using the camera's control labels. Camera control simply requires the operator to set XCAP control parameters to match the actual camera's control positions.
Compatible with Multiple Boards/Multiple Cameras
All versions of the XCAP program (except Demo) recognize all PIXCI PCI imaging boards, regardless of model or order code, and offer dedicated control for as many as 8 PIXCI boards / cameras in one computer. The Multiple Devices menu in XCAP displays each board by the model name of the camera it supports. Check Boxes provide quick and convenient camera selection. Synchronized operation of multiple cameras is available (camera dependent).
Guaranteed Compatibility
The product designation "PIXCI D2X" refers to a series of 300+ custom-configured imaging boards; each optimized to support one of 300+ specialized digital cameras. Before a camera is added to the Camera Compatibility Guide, EPIX tests the camera and designs a camera-specific interface. Engineers custom program a PIXCI D2X board to exactly support the camera's video timing specifications and electronically tag the board with the camera's identification code. An "Adjust Dialog" menu, optimized to match the camera's capabilities, is added to the XCAP imaging program.
Works with Most Operating Systems
The PIXCI D2X requires a 32-bit operating environment. It is compatible with Microsoft Windows XP, 2K, NT, ME, 98, and 95 as well as 32-bit DOS. The XCAP Imaging Program is Windows compatible. XCLIB and PXIPL developer libraries are available for Windows and DOS. IMAGE PRO and TWAIN drivers are available. EPIX supports development of custom drivers for other 32-bit environments (LINUX, UNIX, Macintosh etc).
Optimized Imaging Systems
EPIX, Inc. offers complete imaging systems including cameras, imaging boards, software, cables, computers, lenses, and lighting. All components of an EPIX imaging system are configured and tested together, as a system, so they can guarantee that everything will work properly, the first time, right out of the box.
