General
The Domino Iota is an entry-level
frame grabber for single-tap monochrome analog cameras. This
new Domino card is an ideal solution for cost-sensitive applications.
The Domino lota supports most system associated with industrial
acquisition, with functions such as asynchronous reset, exposure
and strobe control. TTL I/O lines are also provided for ease
of system integration.
The Domino Iota comes with a MultiCam driver, which provides
a comprehensive list of specific cameras and system features.
MultiCam exposes a drivers API (Application Programming Interface)
allowing it to define a uniform acquisition control layer
for all EureSys' frame grabbers. The Domino Iota and MultiCam
are compatible with eVision, an image analytical library for
EureSys, offering an extended set of functions optimized for
machine vision applications.
Acquisition
The Domino Iota is equipped with an 8-bit A/D converter and
can have a sampling rate of up to 32MHz. The Domino lota has
two 8-bit input look-up tables and a programmable input filter
(20, 10 or 5MHz). Gain control and offset are programmable.
PCI Interface
The Domino Iota is a 32-bit, 33MHz PCI bus frame grabber with
3V or 5V signaling. DMA and bus mastering are supported. |

Camera
and I/O Connectors
HD15 Connector: The HD15 connector
is compliant with the EureSys-defined analog camera connector
and includes camera powering.
DB9
Connector: The DB9 connector manages
trigger and strobe functions and general purpose I/O. The
connector is identical to the Domino Alpha and Gamma model.

Camera
Support
The Domino Iota accepts any kind
of single tap camera with progressive or interlaced scanning,
synchronous or asynchronous reset, and with shutter and strobe
control.
With the high-resolution capability of the board, it is compatible
with many state-of-art analog cameras typically up to 1300
x 1030 resolutions.
A Multi-mode synchronization system is available. It includes
the pixel clock and PLL locking.
On-board Memory
The Domino Iota benefits from a 8MB onboard frame buffer.
The
MultiCam driver enables control of several Domino and GrabLink
frame grabbers simultaneously, using an arbitrary number of
cameras. MultiCam allows defined channel linking cameras to
be buffered into the PC memory. The MultiCam channel identifies
all parameters ruling the acquisition process for a camera.
All camera features, such as resolution and control means,
are reported through simple parameters. The MultiCam driver
runs under Windows 98SE/ME/NT/ 2000/XP.
