| Center Split Modes
- new feature (added March 2004, serial number 10124 and later)
Center Split Modes. These units feature a new mode that will display the center half of each camera image either side by side or top and bottom. The split position is not adjustable in this mode. A rear panel DIP switch enables this mode of operation. |
| Border/Divider Line feature (added
December 2004, serial numbers 10211 and later) A line can be generated at the split point which makes it easier to discern the two separate images. The border size can be set to 0 (off), 1, 2 or 3 pixel widths and can be set to one of eight colors (gray, yellow, cyan, green, magenta, red, blue or black). This is now a standard feature on all units. For compatibility, units are shipped with this feature turned off. The operation manual explains how to enable it and set the size and color. |
| PAL capability (added April 2004,
serial numbers 10135 and later) Units can now be easily switched to either the NTSC or PAL mode of operation via a rear panel switch. |
| In the past, the only solution to displaying two
images side by side have been to use Genlock capable cameras or expensive frame
synchronizers. Now MicroImage Video Systems has incorporated two high performance, full
frame synchronizers (time base correctors) into an advanced split screen and fade
controller. The result is that virtually any two video sources can be mixed or placed side
by side on the same screen. It is compatible with most cameras, VCRs, camcorders and other
products that generate video. Operational modes include horizontal or vertical split screen, fade and difference. In Split mode, t he two images can be split on the screen showing a portion of each image, either side by side or top and bottom. Fade mode will mix the two video sources together as an overlay. Difference mode is similar to fade except that it shows only the difference between the two video signals. A rotary control adjusts the position of the split screen and the amount of fade or difference. The Exchange button reverses the camera display positions (i.e. B camera on left or top). In addition, the B input video memory can be frozen by pressing the Freeze button. All settings are remembered when power is removed.Two simultaneously displayed images allow precision comparisons that are necessary in Forensics, Bio-Medical and industrial production. Two camera, side-by-side comparisons can now be made with an ease never before possible. In pathological or oncological situations, tissue samples can be quickly compared. Forensic medicine and criminal forensics are areas where side-by-side or overlay comparisons are of the utmost importance. Items such as tissue and blood cells, ballistic samples and fibers can all be displayed for comparison on a video monitor. Since the PXD310E is fully compatible with most video printers and frame grabbers, a permanent copy can be made or a video projector can be used to display the findings to an audience, such as in a courtroom. The PXD310 uses state-of-the-art, high performance digital signal processing (DSP) to maintain the highest quality video signals. This assures consistent matching between the the two video sources. Either video input can be from composite video, S-Video or a B&W video signal. The PXD310 will always produce both composite and S-Video regardless of input signal type. The PXD310 family of products work with a variety of cameras. Each unit provides the proper signals and connectors to work correctly with the intended camera type. The PXD310E will work with almost any two cameras (or other video sources) that have a composite or S-Video output signal and meet the NTSC or PAL standard. Genlock is NOT required. Options include rack mount capability and RS232 remote control. The RS232 option allows the PXD310 to be controlled by a computer or other device or from a remote location. The remote control also allows access to the units internal SMPTE style color bar generator and other advanced options. See the protocol definition manual for additional information. Power is provided by a universal desktop power supply (included) or it can be operated from +12VDC (negative ground). The unit is packaged in a durable metal enclosure with plastic end bezels. The PXD310E has a one year parts and labor warranty.The special-order models PXD310C2 will also provide power to both cameras (up to 400mA at 12VDC each). They have special connectors to provide all the necessary signals to each camera which require custom made cables. Contact MicroImage Video Systems about cable availability for different cameras. Board Level, OEM and Custom products are also available. Please contact MicroImage Engineering for additional information. |

The suggested replacement for the PXD310E is the PXD510E which is a new and improved version that has the same features, performance and quality while being smaller and less expensive.
