Boulder Imaging, Inc. has been supplying advanced digital video recorders since 1995 for applications in military,
aerospace, medical, cinematography, and many others. For military/aerospace customers, Boulder Imaging digital
recorders offer advanced, high-speed streaming-to-disk with a guarantee of 100% recording integrity from all cameras.

Boulder Imaging digital recorders can be configured to acquire data from any camera output:
  • NTSC/RS-170/CCIR/PAL
  • RS-422/LVDS
  • All CameraLink formats
  • Hot-Link and other Digital Serial
  • Copper and Optical
Boulder Imaging recorders unify recording tasks for multiple cameras into a single unit. Recording units can be configured for single-camera dedicated acquisition, or synchronized multiple-camera acquisition tasks. Configurations that include multiple cameras of different asynchronous formats can all be simultaneously acquired into one unit in a smooth, seamless, quasi-synchronoous manner.

Governing the acquisition function is Boulder Imaging's powerful VisionNow™ software package. VisionNow software provides an easy-to-use platform for system configuration, display, file management, and playback. Multiple input cameras can all be simultaneously displayed in real-time in individual windows. IRIG time stamping for all input cameras is optionally provided.

Key Performance Attributes and Benefits

Multiple cameras supported with a single recorderSaves rack-space, eases cable challenges, Unifies software control.
Flexible configurationsCustomers can specify a system designed for their application, or a flexible system that will grow with their demands.
Dedicated support of any cameraRelieves customers from being forced into the unit offered by the camera vendor.
Integrated command and control of acquisition with VisionNow softwareMultiple recorders would require multiple set-up windows. VisionNow™ unifies all acquisition functions into a single environment
Synchronized analysis and playback of dataSide-by-side playback allows customers to quickly verify and analyze data from all cameras in one environment in a timeline fashion.
Coordinated time stampingCreate one camera as master timing device, and synchronize all other cameras to master with offsets.

Boulder Imaging systems are configured according to the aggregate input bandwidth requirements specified by each customer. This input bandwidth requirement is calculated according to the customer's specification, and a system is configured with the appropriate frame grabbers, timing cards, and disk array to satisfy the requirement.


 

Base performance units can be supplied in rack-mount, desktop, shuttle, or portable computer configurations. Base units are usually specified for digital acquisition from multiple analog cameras (up to 6), or for dedicated acquisition from most digital cameras.

Higher performance units are required for acquisition of multiple NTSC/RS-170 cameras in combination with a limited number of standard-performance digital cameras. Boulder Imaging and Sierra-Olympic will work with customers to designate the system configuration. High-performance units are generally offered in rack-mount and desktop configurations, but can be portable units in limited situations.

Boulder Imaging's support of very demanding applications evolves continuously as the world of computer hardware advances. The current bandwidth limitation present by hardware validated by our engineers is 1.5 GB/sec. We can configure systems that will support very high-speed, very-high resolution cameras, or multiple high-speed digital and NTSC/RS-170 cameras.
