MRTech projects and solutions

We introduce compact comprehensive solutions based on the NVIDIA Jetson supercomputer modules for multi-camera embedded, 3D Vision, airborne and other mobile applications.

It means imaging systems which rely on small feedback time, like autonomous cars, copters or drones, mobile robots that should be remotely controlled via Ethernet, wireless network, radio-connection, etc., and when just one camera can’t be enough to get full info from controlling objects.

As general, the solutions include XIMEA cameras, NVIDIA computer hardware and MRTech SK software.

Applications

• Drones and UAV, Aerial mapping system
• Autonomous Robotic Systems
• Industrial Embedded Imaging
• 3D Vision

Multi-camera configuration

In total, up to eight high-performance cameras can be used and connected to Jetson in a single system, including:

• XIMEA PCIe cameras of xiX series
• XIMEA USB3 cameras of xiC and xiQ series
• USB3 cameras from other manufacturers
• Cameras can have a resolution up to 50 megapixels, and their number is mainly determined by the performance of the chosen NVIDIA Jetson module

Hardware Configuration

• NVIDIA Jetson TX1 / TX2 / Nano / Xavier computers
• XIMEA xEC2 customized carrier for Jetson TX1 / TX2 /TX2i
• ConnectTech carriers for Jetson modules such as TX2 or Xavier
• Jetson Nano and AGX Xavier Developer Kits
• Receiving and communication hardware

Receiving station

RTSP streams from all or separate cameras can be received using VLC app on one of the devices such as Macbook with MacOS, desktop / notebook with Windows or Linux OS, Apple devices such as iPhone, iPad, etc.

MRTech SK offers its own HW / SW solution for the receiving station.

Please, see tests results and ask your own configuration. –>

MRTech SK proposes ready for operation and customized solutions for high-load video applications and systems with large number of cameras.

Generally, such systems use high resolution cameras with high frame rate, multiply viewpoints and synchronous capturing. An application running on a system of this type should be capable of capturing images from many high-resolution cameras, sometimes transmit the data for long distances with up to 64Gb/s bandwidth, process and store images without loss. Usually it is also necessary to synchronize many cameras with lights, to manage and monitor the filming process.

Our solutions make it possible to do it all by bringing together modern technological capabilities and customer requirements.

Applications

• 360 Panorama, VR and AR – Virtual and Augmented reality
• Sports imaging and broadcast
• Cinematography and Entertainment

Cameras

• Multiply high-performance (up to 12 MPix) XIMEA cameras xiX series
• One or several mega-resolution (up to 65 MP each) or high-speed XIMEA cameras (up to 3500 FPS) xiB/xiB-64 series

Hardware:

• Powerful computer workstation with e.g. Intel i9 or AMD Ryzen processor
• One or several top NVIDIA GPU cards
• PCIe fiber optical cable with up to 100m length
• XIMEA xSwitches for multi camera connection

Common results

• Data bandwidth from 16 Gbit/s to 64 Gbit/s, with real data throughput up to 7000 MB/s
• Maximum performance for chosen hardware configuration
• Zero latency processing (from several ms to scores of ms)
• Additional features and options such as on demand customization of hardware / software setup

The crucial business area of XIMEA company is the development and production of innovative scientific cameras. There are two classes of the company’s products in this area:

• High-performance Scientific CMOS front and back illuminated cameras with PCIe interface
• Cooled sCMOS USB3 cameras with Power Delivery (PD) technology support

The products highest quality and unprecedented openness of XIMEA team to their customers are especially impressive and effective in these segments of the machine vision market.

We are proud that MRTech is not only a distributor of XIMEA, but also helps to their customers to implement sophisticated ideas and projects at the new frontiers of science. That’s is why we’re continuing to bring to market our products and services.

Here’re some of them:

• Guidance in Industrial and Scientific camera area, pre-project expertise
• HW / SW design, optimization of vision system architecture and low-level integration of technologies
• Software development including capture and delivering of images, image pre- and post-processing, disk writing, user interface, etc.
• Customer support
