At the heart of the Krell hardware
is the Multimedia Video DSP (digital signal processor). Driven by our Image
Processing eXecutive™ (IPX™) MV-DSP operating
system software, with real-time interactive video process controls at full
video frame rates, you get full use of each of the DSP's raw horsepower for
your real-time imaging engine needs. CLICK-N-PLAY, NO PROGRAMMING
REQUIRED!!
The Krell IPX products include an software package off our shelf or one
tailored to your equipment's video output, one or more Multimedia Video DSP PCI
processor boards, and a solid Windows NT™ platform if a host computer is
not available. System configurations come in 2 BOPS, 4 BOPS, 6 BOPS and 8 BOPS.
With an 8 BOPS machine, you can also include a 64 BOPS unit which can be
daisy-chained to provide whatever level of processing power you may need. Since
NT Workstation is the host environment, you can even plug the Krell System into
a network, allowing your customers to archive and share their images.
In the Krell-1 illustration above NTSC or PAL Video is
captured by the Krell MV-DSP PCI board from your imaging tool, whether it is a
camera, an x-ray machine, a microscope, radar system, sonar system, or any
equipment with video output. All video processing is done on the Krell MV-DSP
PCI board, leaving the Windows NT host free for sending and receiving commands
between the IPX OS running on the Krell MV-DSP and the IPX GUI interface.
The IPX system software interface uses point-and-click pulldown menus for the
input selections, preset modes, and algorithm pipeline setups. Interactive
graphic slider controls are utilized for capture setup and on-the-fly algorithm
adjustments.
The output results are viewed in SVGA high resolution in real-time on a
separate output monitor. Output images can also be saved to disk for later
viewing, networking, or archiving.
