dPiction – Not Just Free Software

When we first started to develop hardware, we needed a simple way for potential customers to check out the frame grabber without having to write and compile code. It was then that the application we now call dPiction was developed. Since then dPiction has gone through several enhancements, and there are now versions for all dPict Imaging frame grabber products.

dPiction is especially useful for configuring Nexeon high-resolution frame grabbers.  For the Nexeon HD, dPiction comes with all of the supported HDTV and VGA resolutions pre-configured and accessible in the configuration menu.  When used with the Nexeon CL, dPiction allows for auto-configuration of the camera without having to consult the manuals and entering the exact camera resolution and timing.  Simply connect the camera and dPiction automatically reads from the Nexeon’s auto-acquisition circuitry the correct timing and displays the synced image.

dPiction also has a handy serial terminal interface that allows for serial communications to Camera Link cameras, a region of interest capture feature, allows for video adjustments of gain, offset, hue, and saturation, and supports multiple board installation.  More information on dPiction can be found at http://www.dpictimaging.com/Products/dPiction.html.
