Streamlined and flexible, the • On-board VGA allows live image display with graphics overlay Bandit-II MV provides dedicated I/Os for real-time control, external clock input for highly accurate image acquisition, and flexible external trigger modes for external process Performance proven software platform synchronization. In addition, the Bandit-II MV features an on-board VGA capable of displaying • Mature development platform high-resolution VGA and TV formats simultaneously with zero CPU overhead. The Bandit-II MV offers optimized software libraries to speed time-to- is ideally suited for the following application areas: semiconductor, pharmaceutical and market general-purpose machine vision automation. www.imaging.com Multiple Adapter Multiple Monitor Mode Bandit-II Display Configurations The Bandit-II can be used in one of three distinct configurations The Bandit-II display capabilities allow high performance image as a secondary display adapter in the system. processing applications to manage display and overlay tasks with Bandit-II as a non-system display: zero CPU and PCI bus usage. The Bandit-II can be used as the Used with a third party VGA card, the Bandit-II can display live primary display adapter or as a secondary display adapter in a vision images with overlay in VGA or TV format directly under Sapera™ automation system. control. This mode does not require OS support for multiple display adapters. Consequently, multiple Bandit-II’s can be Single Adapter Single Monitor Mode plugged in the same system. When used as a primary display adapter the Bandit-II provides two independent display outputs. The primary display is used as the system display and displays the Windows desktop. Applications requiring only one display monitor Bandit-II’s Independent Secondary VGA Output can display a live acquisition of Single Adapter Single Monitor non-destructive graphics overlay. Bandit-II as a secondary system display (The extended desktop mode): R Single Adapter Dual Monitor Mode Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP™ allows multiple VGA Applications requiring multiple monitors can use the secondary adapters to be plugged into a system. Used with a third party VGA display output to display the acquisition image on either a VGA or adapter, the Bandit-II is used as the secondary system display standard TV format monitor. The second display can be configured adapter in the system. The configuration allows the Bandit-II to to display live image with overlay or display the Windows desktop display the Windows extended desktop. The image application of the system VGA. In this mode the Bandit-II offers two distinct benefits from the expanded display real estate without any advantages: zero CPU usage and zero PCI bus bandwidth usage. change in the application code. Bandit-II’s Extended Desktop Bandit-II’s Independent Video Output Bandit-II as a secondary system display with independent video output: This display mode combines the Windows extended desktop with the Bandit-II’s dual monitor capabilities. The imaging applications while leveraging the Windows extended desktop also benefit from displaying live video with overlay in TV format. The TV ouptut can thus be recorded on a VCR for later usage. Furthermore, the Bandit-II’s Independent Secondary VGA Output second ouptut of Bandit-II can be configured to display in VGA formats.
