In the operating room, milliseconds are the difference between life and death, ultra-low latency is paramount.
A large number of operations, medical procedures and patient monitoring systems utilize real-time image capture, with live video often combined with AR and AI applications, overlays, and annotations of patient data. Datapath’s range of capture cards are engineered specifically for environments where latency is critical and quality can not be compromised.
VisionIO Cards
- Annotate and Augment – Can be done over critical video feed from medical equipment without adding any latency
- Real-time - Image can be overlayed with moving real-time AR information with full frame rate, low latency, and full alpha blending
- Fail-Safe - Preserve your critical video feeds in the event of system crash. A watch-dog timer takes action to remove overlay so surgeon can continue to watch the video
Flexible Capture Cards
- Multipurpose Capture Card – Comprises all the capabilities of a Vision capture card including scaling up/down and cropping of up to 16 independent copies of the input, in the most suitable format.
- Color Fidelity - Loop-through capability results in full color renders right through to the surgical monitor. Whilst captured video can be transformed into a suitable color space that an application requires, streaming in whatever pixel or color format is needed to minimize the load on the host CPU.
- Video Standards Support - Wide range of video standards supported including analog modes.
Medical environment video sources
Datapath capture cards are used in environments that involve a variety video sources streamed across multiple outputs.
Outstanding developer experience
With dedicated support personnel stationed in the United Kingdom, United States of America and Japan, Datapath are able to provide world class support when you need it most.
Develop your software with confidence. Datapath's SDK is always built on previous versions ensuring backwards compatibility, with existing installations unaffected by updates.
Simply connect the input cable to start capturing. Signal detection is provided by internal driver algorithms assisted by physical hardware measurements. This provides high speed and accurate signal detection for all signal sources, including less common non-standard sources.
Configure the capture card to force a particular input signal on the source. Importing and exporting system EDIDs allows for flexible system integration when moving to 4K UHD. The EDID can be displayed and configured in either 'Video Definition' or 'EDID' format.
Vision capture cards are available through Datapath’s OEM program, allowing the product specification to be fixed for the long-term. This guarantees long-term supply, validity of certification and approvals, and compatibility with integrated systems and software.
Datapath hardware is manufactured to ISO 9001 standards, each board is subjected to an automated solder paste inspection, automated optical inspection, x-ray inspection and an intensive production test. Components are chosen for maximum MTBF for long term reliability.
