Westplex has been appointed as the distributor of Matrox Imaging Products in South Africa.
Matrox Imaging is a world-leading designer of PC-based hardware and software for machine vision, image analysis and medical imaging.
Matrox Imaging solutions combine easy-to-use, device-independent software with state-of-the-art hardware, offering OEMs and integrators tools to reduce time-to-market and decrease development costs.
Products include an optimised image analysis library with a common API across the hardware line. Designed for rapid application development, this field-proven library has over 300 functions. Additional software includes an interactive Windows-based prototyping tool and a camera interface utility.
The IRIS programmable smart camera combines the integration capabilities of a conventional smart camera with the flexibility of a PC-based machine vision system. Developers write their applications with Matrox Imaging's software development toolkit and run them directly on the camera.
A combination of embedded PC technology, compact size and ruggedness make Matrox Imaging's standalone platform suitable for cost-sensitive machine vision, image analysis and video surveillance applications.
Hardware ranges from basic boards designed for very cost-sensitive applications, to frame grabbers integrating flexible, high-rate acquisition and leading edge display technology. The new board for multiple-input video capture with on-board JPEG2000 compression is well suited to surveillance applications.
