IO industries Inc. provides advanced video cameras and video recording systems for instrumentation of highly dynamic experiments in the aerospace and defense sectors. Whether the need is to record high-bandwidth digital video from a specialized thermal camera during a critical mission test, or to provide complete multi-viewpoint synchronized camera systems to observe and log the events of such a mission, the experts managing these experiments depend on the performance and reliability of solutions from IO Industries. WHY BROADCASTERS AND SPECIALTY VIDEO SYSTEM INTEGRATORS CHOOSE IO INDUSTRIES CAMERAS THE RIGHT SENSORS FOR SPORTS Cameras can be designed around two types of sensors today - both are based on CMOS technology - the older CCD sensors seen in cameras of the past are no longer state-of-the-art - but the two CMOS options can give very different results depending how the cameras are used. Rolling shutter is the most common sensor type, but as its name suggests, it exposes each frame of video by rolling an electronic shutter down the sensor rows. If the camera is panning across a wide field of play, or shaking (being hit by a stray ball, or tackled by a player!) when this exposure happens, there is a distortion seen in the video, commonly referred to as a wobble or 'jello' effect, which cannot be removed or corrected for afterwards. The solution to this is to use cameras with the other CMOS sensor type: global shutter. These sensors expose each frame the same way as older CCD sensors, all rows at a time, meaning no distortion is seen. In lots of the use cases for IO Industries cameras, having global shutter sensors is an advantage that sets the IOI cameras above others. FEATURE PACKED, FUTURE READY CAMERAS All models of IO Industries' SDI POV camera series are full of advanced features to adjust the video to suit whatever use case is needed. Automatic adjustments like auto-exposure, AGC, AWB etc. are all available, but fully-manual adjustments can be used too, with as much granularity in the controls as is found in professional broadcasting and even digital cinematography cameras (like paint and shading controls, saturation, LUTs, shutter angle exposure control, etc.). They are globally compatible, offering all standard frame rates and resolutions needed in modern HD/UHD productions and beyond. And in most cases, multi-format output is possible, meaning a 4K camera can be used for HD output today, then down the road, used for 4K productions when needed. With no extra costs for licenses or keys to do so. The same is true for 8K production, with the 8KSDI camera offering switchable 4K/UHD and 8K/UHDTV2 output modes. OPTIMIZED FOR AUDIENCE VIEWING A great deal of effort goes into making each and every IO Industries camera look its best, knowing it could be used to make video that will eventually reach the homes of viewers around the world. That's a different consideration than other industrial vision cameras go through - many similar cameras are not characterized to the same extent, or include sensor noise correction and other image enhancement features, because they're intended primarily to be used in factory inspection machines that employ vision technologies to check parts in production. Computer vision algorithms in factories are not paying attention to the same details in the images, nor are they critically concerned with the quality of color reproduction or the amount of dynamic range the camera makes. Thats why IO Industries cameras can go toe to toe with professional video cameras, while still bridging the flexibility and configurability of industrial-type cameras into these applications.

FEATURES SPECIFICATIONS DOWNLOADS CALCULATOR ACCESSORIES VIDEOS/PHOTOS FLEXIBLE CONFIGURATIONS The RodeoGRANDE DVR shares much of the same connectivity and software ecosystem as the other Rodeo DVRs and their close relatives, the IOI Volucam cameras. Whether DVRs (and their connected cameras) are used alone in a system, or together in a hybrid system with Volucam cameras, the variety of compatible devices makes design, setup and operation of synchronized multi-camera video recording systems much simpler than ever. A typical configuration joins CoaXPress or Camera Link cameras with their associated DVR, which are connected to a fast network switch and controlled from a single PC. If needed, Volucam cameras can be integrated seamlessly into the same configuration. SDI monitoring equipment can be used for low-latency viewing of each camera through video screens and multi-viewers. IOI's interactive software control utilities, 2ndLookPLUS or StudioCap-VC Client, are used by the system operator, or the available SDK can be used to build custom interactive control applications. Once recordings are completed, the files can be downloaded then analyzed or processed by 3rd party applications. RodeoGRANDE Features A PERFECT MATCH FOR YOUR FAST STREAMING CAMERAS RodeoGRANDE builds on the proven foundation of our Rodeo and RodeoPLUS DVRs, delivering a major leap in high-performance RAW video recording. Its FPGA-based RAW video recording engine reliably captures long sequences of high-bandwidth video from multiple cameras, through either coaxial or fiber-optic CoaXPress video connections. RodeoGRANDE takes synchronized, multi-camera video recording to the next level - recording two of today's fastest CoaXPress video cameras - at over 4GByte/sec each - with zero dropped frames! Whether you're recording video for scientific research, cinematic performance capture or athlete analysis, RodeoGRANDE ensures you record every frame, every time. PRECISE SYNCHRONIZATION Synchronization is critical in multi-camera video recording systems. Multiple cameras connected to multiple RodeoGRANDE DVRs can all be precisely shutter-synchronized and time-stamped. All frames from all cameras will have the same timestamps and frame numbers to simplify post-processing and correlation. IEEE-1588 Precision time protocol (PTP) is supported through the 10GbE interface, either by having all DVRs synchronized to a PTP grandmaster clock, or by having one DVR operate as a master itself, distributing PTP time to the other DVRs through the network. Synchronization of the cameras, DVRs, and other external equipment is possible using the many general purpose TTL inputs/outputs on each DVR. FAST 10G & 100G ETHERNET Much like other Rodeo DVRs, RodeoGRANDE connects via 10G Ethernet to a Windows or Linux control computer of your choice. This allows remote configuration and control of the DVR and for streaming live video to be shown in the control software. After recordings are completed, the 10G connection lets you transfer video files to separate storage at fast speeds. For even faster downloads, RodeoGRANDE DVRs have a separate 100G Ethernet port for maximum transfer speeds to either the control computer or another fast network storage destination. LIVE VIDEO MONITORING For lowest-latency live monitoring, the RodeoGRANDE DVR has an SDI video output capable of streaming Ultra HD or Full HD at up to 60fps. When high resolution cameras are connected to the DVR, FPGA-based cropping and scaling features can be used to down-size the video from each camera to fit within the output video frame. Anything from the full field of view (for wide observation) down to a 1:1 pixel crop (for fine focus adjustment) can be shown. Live video streaming is also supported through the 10GbE interface, with adjustable control over the bandwidth used for this, so that even low-performance control PCs and remote monitoring stations can display live video from many cameras at once. INTEGRATED TIME REFERENCE INPUTS Timing can be everything when it comes to video analytics. Understanding the precise time when a frame is captured allows a better correlation of imagery to other data sources, such as telemetry systems, environmental sensors, or other DVR systems in other locations. RodeoGRANDE includes IRIG-B (AM and DC) and SMPTE LTC timecode inputs as a standard feature, making it easy to synchronize with many formats of timing signals found in aerospace test facilities and video production studios. As well, an optional high-accuracy GNSS receiver can be installed, for synchronization with not only GPS, but other international satellite navigation systems. For mobile capture applications in vehicles or aircraft, up to 20Hz position data can be logged with video recordings . Click "Learn More" for additional information. LEARN MORE COMPACT AND LOW-POWER RodeoGRANDE DVRs fit conveniently in standard 19" equipment racks, taking up just 2U of height and as little as 18" depth. Total weight is under 20lbs and power consumption is only 85W, making mobile system configurations possible via portable rack enclosures. Compared to alternative CoaXPress video recording solutions built around large server-grade PCs, RodeoGRANDE DVRs significantly minimize size, weight and power without sacrificing performance or capabilities. LONG-DISTANCE CAMERA CONNECTIONS MADE EASY RodeoGRANDE is our first DVR to support CoaXPress-over-Fiber connections, enabling long-distance, high-bandwidth links to faraway cameras without the need for 3rd-party fiber extenders. Using industry-standard optical transceivers, CXPoF connections can reach as far as 40km (or longer with repeaters!). This helps when cameras need to be placed far from the DVRs in either remote environments (sports stadiums), or hazardous locations (space launch facilities, missile test ranges).

Several models are available with a variety of sensors to choose from, ensuring the right Victorem camera can be selected for each application VOLUCAM FEATURES FEATURES SPECIFICATIONS DOWNLOADS ACCESSORIES VIDEOS/PHOTOS CAMERA SELECTOR CAMERA CALCULATORS LIVE VIDEO MONITORING For low-latency direct-to-display monitoring, the Volucam has a 12G-SDI video output capable of streaming Full HD or Ultra HD video at up to 60fps. A tri-level sync input allows the SDI signal to be synchronized to a sync reference, in the case of a live production environment. A broad ecosystem of infrastructure exists for transporting, multiplexing and displaying 12G-SDI video signals, allowing many cameras' live streams to be simultaneously displayed on a master studio monitor. Live video streaming is also supported through the 10GbE interface, and the bandwidth used for this can be tailored by adjusting resolution and frame rate of the live video stream. SIMPLIFIED CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION The Volucam makes the setup of a synchronized multi-camera video recording system much simpler than ever. A typical configuration involves connecting several cameras to a 10GbE network switch, and using a single PC as a control station. SDI monitoring equipment can be used for low-latency monitoring. Client software is provided for the control station, or the Volucam SDK can be used to integrate the commands into custom software applications. The client software configures the cameras as needed, initiates recordings, and displays live video for real-time monitoring. Once recordings are completed, the cameras begin transmitting their files to a network-accessible shared folder or NAS, where they can be accessed by third party processing software. VIDEO CAMERA WITH INTERNAL RECORDING The Volucam™ is a compact, multi-format, variable frame rate video camera with internal RAW video recording. A variety of CMOS sensors are supported, allowing options for high resolution video up to 26.2MP or high frame rate HD video recording at over 300fps. Easy to configure and operate, this camera is ideal for synchronized multi-camera video recording applications such as volumetric video capture studios, light field capture arrays and multi-angle motion analysis systems. HIGH PERFORMANCE IMAGE SENSORS A variety of Volucam models are available featuring different high-quality CMOS image sensors from Sony and Gpixel. Resolution options range from 0.4MP to 26.2MP , with most models featuring electronic global shutter capability to eliminate motion artifacts. These sensors support continuously variable frame rates into the 100's of frames per second, and the active resolution can be adjusted arbitrarily up to the maximum for each sensor, allowing different aspect ratios (4:3, 16:9, 1:1, and more). The various sensors feature optical formats from 1/3" to 1.2". INTERCHANGEABLE LENSES The Volucam features a native C-mount lens interface which allows easy interchangeability between hundreds of compact lenses available today. C-mount lenses are commonly used in industrial and surveillance imaging. Adapters are available to attach other types of lenses such as photography optics. An adapter for Canon EF-mount lenses is available which integrates with the camera to remotely adjust the focus and aperture on the EF-mount lens. Third party adapters are available to adapt C-mount to B4, PL, Canon FD, and other mount types. FAST 10G ETHERNET One of the most convenient features of the Volucam is its 10G Ethernet connectivity. This interface is used for all configuration and operational control commands, and also for streaming live video to the control software. Best of all, this interface is used to rapidly transfer video recordings from the Volucam into a network-accessible shared folder or NAS. An SFP+ port is provided, allowing either copper cabling or long-distance optical connections with multi-mode or single-mode fiber. INTERNAL VIDEO RECORDING A built-in high-performance solid state drive stores recordings until they can be transferred through the 10GbE interface for further processing. The capacity can be up to 7680GB, allowing long clips (or many shorter clips) to be recorded before the storage fills up. Video files are stored in a RAW format with up to 12-bit quality - color video is not demosaiced until further into the workflow. Recordings can be uncompressed or optionally compressed using a lossless codec. Compression allows smaller file sizes, leading to longer possible recording times and faster file transfer times through the network. MULTI CAMERA SYNCHRONIZATION Synchronization is critical in multi-camera arrays, especially in volumetric capture applications. The Volucam allows many cameras to be shutter-synchronized as well as time-synchronized so that all frames captured at the same time will have the same timestamps to correlate the images by. The Volucam supports IEEE-1588 precision time protocol through the 10GbE interface. Multiple cameras can be synchronized to a grandmaster clock, or one camera can be operated as a master and distribute time to the other cameras itself. Other synchronization options include a SMPTE LTC input and GPIO pins for local synchronization between cameras.
