8-Channel PC/104 Express Frame Grabber An 8-Channel PC/104 Express Frame Gabber is targeted for demanding real-time situational awareness systems like remote video surveillance, traffic monitoring and control of vehicle-based video capture in hostile environments. The AVC8000X from Advanced Micro Peripherals delivers high-performance 8-Channel video capture and overlay on a single PC/104 form factor card. Combining high throughput, ruggedness and flexibility, the AVC8000X captures up to eight concurrent analog PAL/NTSC/ RS170 video inputs for local system display, or if preferred, on-going software analysis and processing. Captured video can be scaled, cropped and positioned under software control and can be streamed continuously to system memory or disc for immediate local display or further processing. Additional features include eight live NTSC/PAL video inputs (240 fps), eight mono audio inputs and eight D1 size capture at full frame rate. The module also allows arbitrary video window sizing, cropping and scaling. Advanced Micro Peripherals, New York, NY. (212) 951-7205. [www.amp-usa.com].
New Improved Projected Capacitive Touchpanel Seeks to Replace Resistive Touch Sophisticated displays for medical technology and industrial electronics applications require high-quality state-of-the-art touchpanel solutions at reasonable pricing. Display Solution is pleased to announce the availability of the Evervision, a new and improved projected capacitive touchpanel (IPCT) product line from Enervisions. The Evervision specifically addresses customers and manufacturers on the way to jump into modern cost-effectively projected capacitive touch technology as well as for customized small order quantities with long-term availability. IPCT’s key benefits compared to conventional PCT solutions are mainly economic aspects. The favorable price/performance ratio of Evervision’s IPCT touch panel is
Core i7-Based 6U VPX Module Conduction or Air Cooled A conduction- or air-cooled 6U VPX Single Board Computer (SBC) supports second and third generation Intel Core i7 processors. With a dual- or quad-core processor, 16 Gbyte of memory, and dual PMC/XMC sites, the XCalibur4440 from Extreme Engineering Solutions is a suitable platform for the most demanding military applications. The XCalibur4440 features include a choice of Intel Core i7-2655LE, -2610UE, -3555LE, -3517UE, and -3612QE processors and up to 16 Gbyte of DDR31600 ECC SDRAM in two channels and 32 Mbyte of boot flash and up to 256 Gbyte of user flash. It is available in an OpenVPX-compliant conduction- or air-cooled 6U VPX form factor. Interfaces include dual PMC/XMC interfaces with rear I/O and front panel I/O support, two 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet and two 10/100/1000BASE-BX Ethernet ports. There is one HDMI/DVI-D video port, four USB 2.0 ports and four SATA 3.0 Gbit/s ports. Front panel I/O includes DisplayPort video, 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet, and USB 2.0 ports. Software support is available in Linux, Wind River VxWorks and Green Hills Integrity BSPs, as well as Microsoft Windows Drivers. Other RTOS solutions may be available.

achieved by using raw materials and production processes that are also applied in LCD manufacturing. This is a benefit also for fully customized solutions, which can be realized at feasible tool costs. Due to mechanical dimensions that are identical with the existing resistive touch panel standard, IPCT touch panels can be integrated into current projects in the course of a redesign without the need to modify the enclosure. Projected capacitive touch technology allows touch recognition through a glass surface mounted on top of the display. Its resistance to scratches, moisture and impurities makes it an ideal solution for outdoor applications. The IPCT touch panel’s glass surface allows cleansing and disinfection with almost all agents. Evervision offers IPCT in sizes from 3.5” up to 10.2” already mounted on the corresponding Evervision TFT displays. The IPCT touch panel comes with a durable surface hardness of 7H, reliably detects up to five fingers, and is not sensitive to detergents or to disinfectants. Its transparency is 85 percent. Further characteristics are an I2C interface (USB in Q1/2013) and a chip-on-flex structure. Enervision, Karlsruhe, Germany. +49 (0)721 82447-53. [www.enervisionlcd.de].
