CoaXPress - New Cable Standard



CoaXPress offers high speed downlink rates of up to 6.25Gbps over a single coaxial cable and up to 25 Gbps using four cables with long cable lengths, in excess of 100m without any hubs, repeaters etc.

Imperx is now offering the ICX-B1410, an advanced progressive scan, fully programmable CCD camera designed for imaging applications that require high quality images, powerful features and flexibility. The camera has a small size, is light weight, and built around Sony´s ICX-285 6.45 micron Interline Transfer CCD image sensor with a 2/3” optical format.

The ICX-B1410 provides an image resolution of 1392 x 1040 and delivers up to 30 frames per second at full resolution. The camera’s 14 bit internal data image processing engine is based on an industrial grade high-speed, high-density FPGA, enabling a broad standard feature set and easy implementation of demanding custom imaging solutions. The thermally optimized, mechanical and electrical design plus the extended operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), and high MTBF of 660,000 hrs @ 40C, make this camera a perfect fit for the most demanding industrial, medical, scientific and military applications.

ScoreBox® Graphics Generation System

Matrox® Video Products Group announced that broadcast equipment manufacturer Howard Zuckerman & Assoc. Inc. has chosen the Matrox Xmio21 card, part of the Matrox DSX family of developer products, as the heart of its ScoreBox® graphics generation system.

ScoreBox is an easily portable, self-contained, and highly user-configurable on-screen score system designed for any broadcaster producing live TV sports such as basketball, baseball, football, soccer, hockey, volleyball, and wrestling. It interfaces to the arena scoreboard and delivers scores and clocks to the TV truck or video control room. With a simple yet powerful user interface, ScoreBox can be configured to display any look and feel that fits the broadcaster's style. Current users include: Time Warner Sports with over 10 units, Iowa Educational TV, Nebraska Educational TV, KBYU Utah, and more than 70 others.

"Matrox delivers great price/performance, high reliability, and a feature set that is hard for other vendors to match," said Jerry Zuckerman, vice president engineering. "We appreciate the flexibility of the Matrox development environment, which simplifies our software development tasks and lets us be very responsive to the needs of ScoreBox users."
