CrossLine Generators from MicroImage Video Systems are designed for relative video measuring,
positioning and
size referencing. The CL5404 series is especially helpful in industrial, metallurgical or
forensic applications where comparisons in relative position or size are important.
The CL5400 has four vertical lines
that are movable across the screen. The lines can be set to black or white and each line can be turned off or
on individually. Lines may also be individually changed from solid to serrated with one
of 13 serration settings. A lock switch is provided for each control to prevent accidental movement. Line movement can be set to fully independent,
tracking mode or mirror mode with front panel switches. In tracking mode, one control moves the position
of a line pair (without affecting spacing) and the other sets the spacing between lines
by moving only one line.
In mirror mode, one control moves the position
of a line pair (without affecting spacing) and the other sets the spacing
between lines by moving each line in opposite directions (maintaining the center
point). Box mode
is not available in the CL5404.
Remote control and query capability is included on all CL5404 series CrossLine models. The unit may
be controlled or queried by a computer RS-232 port. The MicroImage Control Language chosen
for this unit is simple to understand and easy to implement in custom programs. Virtually
all functions can be controlled by the computer. The computer can also query the CrossLine
Generator for line position as well as switch and mode settings.
This CrossLine model maintains very accurate line positions without any
internal adjustments. The lines are generated with square pixels to maintain
the correct aspect ratio. The high quality, multi-turn optical encoders
allow the lines or box to be moved over the entire image area with maximum
accuracy.
The CL5404 is designed to work with a variety of video standards; S-Video,
composite or B&W video signals. The unit will automatically lock to the proper input signal.
It will automatically detect NTSC/RS170 and PAL/CCIR modes, adjusting
itself accordingly to each standard. CL5404 series models
utilize a +12VDC power supply and can be used in mobile
applications. A universal 100-240V universal desktop power supply is
included with a USA style power cord. The CL5404 has a 1 year warranty.
Board level, units without controls and other models are
available for OEM applications.
