Live Monitoring and Augmentation
The Datapath VisionIO-XD2 provides two 4K capable zero-latency loop-through ports, each with alpha-blended overlay capability. When connected in series between the video source and the local monitor, the VisionIO-XD2 is capable of capturing video at full quality whilst mixing in overlay data into the live monitoring path without adding latency.
The VisionIO-XD2 offers a unique solution for the operator who needs both live video and overlay data to be displayed on a single monitor, whilst recording the stream in the background. Whether in a Medical Operating Room overlaying patient data onto surgical camera inputs, or adding overlays in Augmented Reality (AR) based applications, the VisionIO-XD2 offers a uniquely unparalleled and professional solution to the market.
Zero Latency Overlay
The VisionIO series also offers an on-board alpha blending capability, allowing a secondary source of frames to be overlaid on to the outgoing display in real time. The optional use of an overlay watchdog ensures that the application supplying the overlay is in constant control. If any problems are detected the card will ensure the integrity of the primary signal by preventing the overlay from obscuring the live signal.
24/7 Operation
The VisionIO-XD2 provides a fail-safe mechanism for the loop through ports, requiring only power for video pass through to be operational. Additionally, the overlay hardware contains a timeout mechanism to prevent applications from corrupting the main video feed in the event of a software crash or other system failure.
Vision Performance Features
The VisionIO series is supported by the Datapath Vision Performance Driver. Optimised at the lowest level to work efficiently with proprietary Datapath hardware, the Vision Performance Driver provides users with a variety of features including Livestream, Multi-Stream, Precision Hardware Timestamping, Efficient DMA Transfer, Flexible Signal Detection and Automatic Mode Changing.
