Pleora helps integrate high-value legacy analog cameras into GigE Vision® network with the iPORT™ Analog-Pro IP engine
OTTAWA, CANADA, APRIL 26, 2011: Pleora Technologies, a world leader in networked video connectivity solutions for mission-critical systems, will premiere its iPORT™ Analog-Pro IP engine—the latest offering in its rich solution-set for high-performance video over Ethernet—at the SPIE Defense, Security + Sensing 2011 symposium being held this week in Orlando, Florida.
One of the biggest challenges to modernizing vetronics vision systems is cost. However, the ability to reuse already existing and already qualified cameras is of significant benefit and this is precisely why Pleora created the iPORT Analog-Pro IP engine. “Reusing existing cameras," explains John Phillips, Pleora Senior Product Manager, "not only reduces cost, but also risk, since these cameras have already been qualified to meet precise specifications for performance and image quality.”
With the iPORT Analog-Pro IP engine, existing vision system equipment can become part of a complete networked video solution that can include Pleora’s vDisplay™ video receivers, the feature-rich eBUS™ SDK application development toolset, and native GigE Vision® cameras. In such a network, integrators can move beyond point-to-point camera-computer connectivity and take advantage of point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint topologies, while leveraging easily accessible Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) hardware.
The iPORT Analog-Pro IP engine is compatible with GigE Vision and GenICam™ standards for video transfer and camera control over a GigE link, which increases interoperability between products from different manufacturers, while dramatically lowering system cost and complexity.
WHY PLEORA?
Systems integrators choosing the COTS iPORT Analog-Pro IP engine as part of a vetronics modernization platform will benefit from:
• Full resolution video at up to 30 fps per channel;
• Two RS-232 ports to control external accessories;
• Software-controlled general purpose inputs and outputs;
• Compact form factor (4 inches x 2 inches x 1.7 inches);
• Low, consistent latency, appropriate for vehicle driver’s vision system; and
• Low power consumption.

| Pleora Technologies Joins EDGE® Innovation Network
OTTAWA, CANADA, APRIL 6, 2010: Pleora Technologies, a world leader in networked video connectivity solutions for mission-critical systems, today announced that it has joined the EDGE Innovation Network, a collaborative, open-environment initiative enabling industry and academia, with government input, to work together to deliver new technologies and innovative capabilities to warfighters and first responders faster.
“The EDGE network will give Pleora a deeper understanding of the needs of soldiers using our technology, allowing us to tailor our solutions more closely to their needs,” said Robert Lee, Vice-President of Marketing & Sales, Pleora Technologies. “We look forward to working with other EDGE members to identify opportunities where our networked video connectivity solutions can be leveraged to improve the safety and tactical advantage of warfighters.”
Pete Palmer, EDGE Innovation Network director, said,“The EDGE bridges gaps between end-user needs and current capabilities by promoting rapidly prototyped solutions that could close those gaps quickly. By applying the EDGE process, the government can quickly and cost-effectively review multiple options for users to evaluate in months rather than years.”
Sponsored by General Dynamics C4 Systems, the EDGE has already delivered several innovations including a Soldier Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) Receiver, or SIR, to the U.S. Army. About the size of a Blackberry®, the SIR device delivers real-time streaming video from multiple manned or unmanned assets into the hands of soldiers on the ground. Currently, there are over 10 projects in development intended to improve and enhance warfighter capabilities.
There are currently five EDGE Innovation Centers worldwide and over 110 EDGE members. Recent new members include Motorola Federal Markets Division, Columbia, Md. EMC Corporation, Marlborough, Mass. Viecore Federal Systems Division, Eatontown, N.J. Protonex Technology Corporation, Southborough, Mass. and Florida State University, Tallahassee, Fla.. More information can be found online at the EDGE innovation website.
As an EDGE technology member, Pleora will introduce four elements of its networked video connectivity solutions to other EDGE members:
• iPORT™ IP engines - highly optimized, compact transmitter hardware that packetizes video data from any camera or sensor into an Ethernet-compatible format and sends it in real time with low, consistent latency to one or more network end points, such as mission computers and viewing monitors
• eBUS™ software - a richly featured software development kit (SDK) for building custom video applications, and high-performance drivers that deliver video into a mission computer in real time using only a small fraction of its central processing unit (CPU), leaving ample CPU capacity for the simultaneous processing of applications
• vDisplay™ IP engines - compact video receiving hardware that transfers video data directly from an Ethernet link to a high-definition monitor, eliminating the need for expensive ruggedized mission computers at every viewing station in the vehicle and
• EtherCast™ gateways - compact hardware that transfers broadcast video, including Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI)-encoded video, in real-time over standard Ethernet networks, making video connectivity to remote sites fast, easy, and affordable. |
