The Anaconda is at the vanguard of vision processing technology delivering dramatic improvements in image capture and data processing speeds while at the same time providing unprecedented board level application control. A powerful PCI-X image processing board, the Anaconda is specifically designed for real-time image acquisition, processing and analysis. It combines a high-speed image acquisition capability with a user programmable FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) and PowerPC™ CPU to deliver real-time image processing on a single slot platform. The Anaconda series allows users to combine their proprietary processing algorithms with finely tuned data control and event management functions to deliver high-performance embedded imaging. The Anaconda series is ideally suited for embedded vision applications where large amounts of image processing is required in fields such as diagnostic X-Ray, fluoroscopy, flat-panel inspection, and semiconductor wafer inspection.
