| Boulder Imaging offers software and hardware products that provide advanced real-time digital video recording and image processing solutions to meet the demands of high-speed, high-performance imaging and machine vision applications. Products include both turnkey systems and a powerful toolkit for customers who need to develop their own imaging applications.
VisionRecorder™ Digital Video Recording Systems provide fully integrated solutions for capturing real time video and recording massive amounts of image data. Available in configurations to support real time recording from 1 to 24 cameras, each VisionRecorder™ system features Boulder Imaging's proven VisionNow™ software.
Specifically designed for real-time performance, VisionNow™ incorporates a highly optimized multi-threaded architecture that maximizes data flow.
VisionRecorder™ Digital Video Recording Systems support virtually any camera type in any combination. Capture data simultaneously from cameras with different array sizes, frame rates and data formats. Inputs can include
Analog NTSC/PAL, Analog RS170/CCIR, DVI, LVDS/RS422, RGB (VGA), HOTLink, HOTLink II, or CameraLink: Base, Medium or Full, or HD-SDI. Additionally, VisionRecorder™ systems support capture of frame synched data sources, including, IRIG, GPS, audio, telemetry, TSPI and user specific requirements.
All VisionRecorder™ Digital Video Recording Systems provide hardware independence, allowing
customers to change cameras or capture hardware without having to modify any high-level application code.
Real-time streaming to disk supports sustained image capture to disk arrays (using specialized disk controllers) with no data drops for hours of sustained recording.
Scalable architecture supports image capture from multiple simultaneous cameras, with throughput only limited by the underlying hardware platform.

|
Application |
|
Description |
China Lake Naval Warfare Center, CA |
|
Boulder Imaging systems are currently used at China Lake's Propulsion Laboratory for recording all video from their rocket booster tests. |
|
Multiple Boulder Imaging VisionRecorders are used to simultaneously record video from up to 16 camera sources, providing full coverage of the booster test at all critical angles of perspective |
| |
|
|
|
|
Edwards Air Force Base, CA |
|
Boulder Imaging designed and is currently fabricating the next generation Laser Scoring System which will be a key component for Edwards AFB's Radiometric Measurement and Analysis System. |
|
The custom-built Laser Scoring System features the ability to fully characterize the performance of targeting lasers from aircraft at two simultaneous spectral wavelengths and in terms of both spatial and temporal performance. The system records infrared video and measures laser pulse frequency characteristics with 2ns accuracy. |
| |
|
|
|
|
Naval Surface Warfare Center,
Bethesda MD |
|
Boulder Imaging developed a real-time imaging system for the Naval Surface Warfare Center to study the interaction of ocean waves with Navy vessels
|
|
Operating in an indoor research pool that simulates the ocean, the custom-designed 8-camera system includes two of Boulder Imaging's VisionNow™ recording systems. Each VisionNow system controls and captures data from four cameras while synchronizing to the other system for simultaneous video recording. Each VisionNow system can capture 200 Mbytes per second of data, and each of the 8 cameras is able to run at up to 30 frames per second at a resolution if 1392 x 1040 pixels. |

|
Lockheed Martin,
Dallas , TX
|
|
Boulder Imaging provided a digital video recording system to Lockheed Martin to test the Army's Line-of-Sight Antitank Weapon System (LOSAT) missile. |
|
The camera system, stationed on the top of a Hummer military vehicle, captures 250 megabytes of visual information per second as a LOSAT missile is launched during testing |
| |
|
|
|
|
Samsung SDSA,
Salt Lake City UT
|
|
Boulder Imaging created the image capture system for Samsung SDSA's uniAMS, a commercial product used for measuring pavement conditions |
|
Boulder Imaging worked with the uniAMS system to develop a cost effective real-time digital analysis for scheduling and budgeting pavement, bridge, sign, and sidewalk maintenance |
| |
|
|
|
|
SPEC, Inc.,
Boulder, CO
|
|
Boulder Imaging developed both the real-time image processing system and the post-processing software for SPEC's Cloud Particle Imager, a unique instrument that takes high-resolution digital images of cloud particles. |
