Barco launches revolutionary real-time EO sensor video processing system FlexiVision III
New FlexiVision III platform offers high-performance video processing, windowing and low latency networked video for surveillance and reconnaissance applications
WASHINGTON, DC, 22 March 2005 – On the occasion of this year’s Sea Air Space Exposition, Barco is proud to present FlexiVision III, the most flexible and advanced imaging platform on the market today. FlexiVision III is a unique video imaging platform that significantly improves situational awareness for the operator by combining visualization, networking and image processing into one fully functional system. Building upon the latest leading edge technologies, Barco’s FlexiVision III is capable of handling a wide range of image processing needs in airborne, ground based and naval systems.
Thanks to its unique modular approach, FlexiVision III enables the cascading of multiple processing functions and provides an upgrade path for future capabilities. Customers can opt for FlexiVision III’s programmable video processing module, enabling functions such as video fusion, image warping, image stabilization and super resolution. A JPEG 2000 module provides low latency video streaming and lossless quality over a Gigabit Ethernet. The JPEG 2000 module also enables high quality video recording. The system’s universal frame grabber module offers image scaling, zooming, positioning and overlay/underlay capabilities.
Barco’s FlexiVision III imaging platform will be on display at this year’s Sea Air Space Exhibition in Washington, DC, USA, and is scheduled to be available in the third quarter of 2005.
