Matrox 4Sight XV6 expandable vision controller

Matrox Imaging has announced the Matrox 4Sight XV6 — an expandable vision controller designed specifically to handle intensive vision applications on the factory floor, including warehouses, plants and manufacturing or fabrication facilities. Offering extensive expansion capabilities for video acquisition and powered by an eighth-generation Intel Core processor, it is capable of supporting intensive machine vision applications.

The vision controller offers powerful desktop-level processing performance with support for up to three displays, whether VGA, DVI-D, HDMI and/or DisplayPort. Made to address the multitude of camera interface standards, it features four full-height, half-length expansion slots for accepting frame grabber PCIe cards operating at full performance.

The product pairs readily with Matrox Imaging frame grabbers to deliver customised video capture solutions for Camera Link, CoaXPress, GigE Vision with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) support, DisplayPort, HDMI and SDI interfaces. Real-time general-purpose discrete I/O capabilities are also available with the Matrox Indio add-in card.

The device makes communicating with enterprise systems simple. The PC can capture directly from GigE Vision and USB3 Vision cameras, and its RS-232/RS-485 ports support connections to legacy automation devices. A rugged steel chassis protects the system from hostile conditions, while powerful internal cooling ensures steady functioning for consistent maximum performance.

The unit comes pre-installed with Microsoft Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019 (64-bit), offering desktop-level performance in a small, rugged casing.
