Pleora: Accelerating the development of medical imaging equipment

George Chamberlain, President of Pleora and Harry Chen, Sales Engineer, Pleora

Today, Pleora, a young Canadian company that has revolutionized video transmission technology, understands how it helps visual system designers and integration through high-performance video interface technology for automation, medical and military applications. Reduce time to market, reduce risk, and reduce costs.

As a leading provider of video interfaces, Pleora was founded late in 2000 (founded in Canada), but led the development and evolution of open global video interface standards - GigE Vision® and USB3 VisionTM. From the picture below we can find the rich heritage of Pleora.

Today, Pleora's products have been successfully used in many parts of the world, and medical business accounts for more than 30% of its overall business. For medical diagnostic imaging systems, Pleora-related technology can be used to convert image sources from existing sources into more manageable, standards-compliant GigE video; in addition, reduce system cost and complexity and multiplex to multiple terminals Improve the overall performance of the device. Particularly commendable is the use of the Pleora iPORT NTx-W embedded video interface to reduce clutter in the operating room. For example, in medical imaging systems, the Pleora wireless solution can be embedded in a flat panel detector (FPD). Flat panel detectors can move freely between wall mounts, large tables, or portable X-ray imaging systems. This portable medical imaging device can be better placed in a crowded operating room, on the side of a hospital bed, or for patients with reduced mobility. Since it is not affected by the cumbersome cable, it can be used for more inspections and for better performance. Embedded hardware wirelessly transmits real-time video directly from the FPD to the computing platform for related display, analysis, and recording.

It is reported that Pleora's technology platform includes embedded hardware, external frame capture device and hardware reference design + FPGA core, etc., and can work with Pleora eBUS SDK and driver, which allows medical device manufacturers to use the current Easily develop high quality, imaging standards compatible imaging equipment with infrastructure. After thousands of high-performance systems and cameras have been tested, Pleora ensures that products can minimize the technical risks associated with video performance and reliability and reduce development costs.

This is an era of cooperation and win-win. When equipment integration is the trend of the times, whoever works with leading technologies will win the market faster! Are you looking for Pleora?

The Pleora iPORT CL-Ten external full frame grabber transforms the Camera Link® full-frame camera into a GigE Vision-compatible camera that can be integrated into a multipoint real-time video network with a less expensive remote Ethernet cable. The iPORT CL-Ten full frame grabber transmits uncompressed video at a maximum Camera Link full frame rate of 6.12 Gb/s. The video is directly transmitted to the computer port with a low and consistent end-to-end delay via an industry standard 10 GigE cable. Compared to Camera Link's distance of only 10 meters, 10GiE long distance transmission of up to 1000 meters can make the processing and image analysis equipment installation location away from harsh environments, and can be easily maintained and repaired or installed in a centralized operation center. The iPORT CL-Ten full frame grabber features an advanced programmable logic controller (PLC) that allows the user to accurately measure, synchronize, trigger and control Camera Link full frame cameras and images in a network environment with programmable logic controllers. equipment.

Pleora has set another industry milestone by converting the Camera Link® camera to the iPORT CL-U3 external frame grabber, the first product of the USB3VisionTM camera. With the iPORT CL-U3 external frame grabber, designers can use the Camera Link camera just like the Plug and Play USB 3.0 product, reducing costs, increasing product availability and reducing the complexity of the vision system. The iPORT CL-U3 external frame grabber converts images from a Camera Link medium or base camera into a USB3 Vision compatible video stream. Uncompressed video can be transferred directly to the existing port on your computer or display via a USB 3.0 cable with a low and consistent delay. With the Camera Link framer plugged into the PCIe slot no longer needed, designers are free to choose from a variety of small, low-power computing platforms, including laptops, embedded systems and tablets. In the computing platform, iPORT CL-U3 is supported by Pleora's feature-rich eBUSTM SDK application kit and drivers. With this software suite, designers can quickly get samples and configure product-level software with the same application programming interface (API) to support 10 GigE, GigE, USB 3.0 and wireless for video transmission.
