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.
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.
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.
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.
DirectShow drivers for WDM Streaming support the following applications, to encode, record and stream video over networks or the Internet:
Any application compatible with Windows® DirectShow technology can use the VisionIO due to the built-in WDM support. The latest Windows Media Foundation Framework is also supported under the AVStream mini driver framework, allowing application development suitable for the Windows 10 App Store®.
The VisionIO range of capture cards are engineered specifically for environments where latency is critical and quality can not be compromised. The cards are typically used within medical procedures and operating theaters, where patient monitoring systems utilize real-time image capture, with live video often combined with overlays and annotations of patient data.
