:: 1394 IN IMAGING AND MACHINE VISION - OVERVIEW

FireWire's dominance in the field of imaging and machine vision is a natural outgrowth of its early use as the connector of choice between camcorders and computers. Today, industrial cameras equipped with 1394b predominate in the market for a variety of reasons. Our library contains several articles addressing this issue.

In preparation for VISION 2008, we look more closely at FireWire's use in imaging, and explore some of the companies working with these exciting applications.

We also encourage an in-depth look at the latest digital imaging standard, released only weeks ago by the 1394 Trade Association. IIDC V 1.32 provides more efficient use of bandwidth and simplifies camera implementation for many imaging architectures.

:: WORD OF MOUTH

"The bottom line is that the IEEE 1394 interface supports more bandwidth, flexibility, reduced cabling, and lower costs than anything on the market today."

LOOK FOR THE SIGN!

:: EXCITING APPLICATIONS

You saw it everyday on TV, introducing retransmissions of Athens 2004 Olympic Events… Unibrain's Fire-i™ Software was used inside.

Unibrain provided its Fire-i™ software and the FireWire networking hardware to Movia company to ensure simultaneous live acquisition from an unlimited number of FireWire Digital cameras.

To achieve the desired effect of freezing time while the camera still moves around the subject, Movia technicians use multiple cameras that surround the subject and record at the same time from all angles...
