Ndi Scan Converter Windows

[Margorie Gomoran]

Ourradar scan conversion technology is field-proven in over 100 military vessels and has been deployed for airport surface movement, military surface and air surveillance and commercial coastal surveillance.

The scan conversion software exploits the power of modern multi-core processors and graphics processor units (GPUs) to provide high performance, flexibility, low cost and freedom from proprietary hardware.

With the SPx library's scan conversion module you write the application software in Microsoft Windows (Win32, MFC, .NET) or Linux X11, optionally using a third-party toolkit. SPx provides the radar scan-conversion module which creates the radar picture and handles display mixing with the graphics - all using low-cost, easy-to-maintain hardware.

The SPx library scan conversion module provides an Application Programming Interface (API) to control the processing and presentation of the radar video. A small number of calls from the application software to the module are used to set-up and dynamically configure the operation. Changes to window size, scale or display presentation are effected in real-time, to help ensure that the radar component of the display stays synchronised to changes in the other graphics layers. Updates to the contents of the scan-converted bitmaps can be reported to the application software at a programmable rate through one of a number of software event mechanisms, or else the scan-converter can directly update the screen itself to semi-transparently blend the radar video with the graphics. Either way, SPx supports real-time sector-based updates of the radar display or else lower frequency (quadrant or scans) as needed.

The SPx product family supports the addition of a number of radar processing modules to improve the presentation of the radar video. These include thresholding, filtering, clutter suppression and scan-to-scan integration. Optional recording capabilities are available in the compatible SPx library's recording module that records polar radar video to support, for example, incident recording or training applications.

The SPx software scan-converter is a cost-effective solution for radar processing and display. By eliminating the special purpose hardware in your system, both capital and maintenance costs are reduced. The same software solution can be run on a variety of computing platforms from laptops through to high-end multi-core, multi-processor servers. By removing the dependence on proprietary hardware, we give system integrators the flexibility to use the most cost-effective hardware components. Beware vendors who will restrict your options for hardware selection and lock you in to a lifetime of expensive hardware, maintenance and proprietary interfaces. Cambridge Pixel is founded on the principles of open architecture, open systems, and extensible software components.

Choose the best combination of features and price for your application. Eight different Mitto units offer varying types of outputs and capabilities. All Mitto units accept VGA, DVI and HDMI input signals from PC and Mac computers.

Using BrightEye control software, you can easily time BrightEye Mitto into a video production switcher or router. From your desktop, you have complete and intuitive control of video format, video levels, output timing, mixing audio channels, and audio delay.

A superior quality scan converter, BrightEye Mitto has the advantage of proprietary scaling technology and exclusive multi-tap filtering. Even a small part of the computer screen, such as a YouTube video, will be upconverted to full screen HD. The region selected for output determines if Mitto acts as an up converter or downconverter. The output looks as good, or better, than the original and passes the most stringent testing.

Use the Selection Tool in BrightEye Control to select what portion of the screen you want to output. The Selection Tool floats over the content on your display, showing the portion of the video that will be output from BrightEye Mitto.

I have set up two systems, a mini running Mojave (need the QT7 support still) and a Book Pro running Catalina), both running NDI Tools 4.5 and the Blackhole loopback device. with audio out sent to Blackhole instead of speakers, and input selected to Blackhole. However, I still do not get any audio down the Scan Converter output.

I can see the input meter dancing in time with the QT Player running but nothing appears on the Scan Converter output. If I use OBS with the NDI plugin I can get audio that way but not with the Scan Converter so that seems to be the sticking point.

Thanks, it's interesting stuff but doesn't really help. I'm used to setting up loopback devices, it's just that I can't seem to get any audio via the scan converter at all. Even if I got everything wrong and it was only getting input audio I should at least still be able to hear what the mic is picking up but nothing at all appears. Thanks for the suggestion though as it may have helped solve a different issue.

Purchased a new HP 7100 series printer... it works fine, but I can not get my PDF Converter to scan. When I tell it to scan, i get the Envy screen telling me to select which picture do I want to copy? But there is no list. I'm not trying to copy a picture, I want to scan. Followed all the program set up suggestions... still can not do. Word Perfect will scan with no problem.

When I open PDF Converter Professional 7.2 and tell it to SCAN a new or to an existing document I get a screen which says " Which picture do you want to copy?" below that is Thumbnails or Details... but neither has a file to select. I'm not looking to scan or copy a picture, just want to scan new or to an existing document. I know it's "pilot error" and it looks like I'm going to crash if I don't get some help. the scanner alone works fine... and I can scan from word perfect with no problem... I'm thinking it has to be the PDF converter program but don't know what else to do. I can't find a link beyond "Which picture...."

Unfortunately its not really working.

I can get the whole suggested chain working and record the video of Ableton, but its not recording the Oscilloscope window but the view of Ableton, like a screenshot. I dont have an option in NID scan converter to see the Oscilloscope window

Get an Open Source Scan Converter. Its a device designed for retro console gaming on HDTV's. It accepts SCART, component video, and VGA. I haven't used it with a computer, but every old console I've thrown at it has worked beautifully. Check out some reviews. As far as quality is concerned, it's probably your best option, but it will cost you more than just buying a monitor with VGA inputs.

I've done some messing around this evening and found on different PCs I get different results with that Portta device - I've got a range of IGEL thin clients here of a wide range of ages and chipsets (I'm desperately trying to get sound working in DOS!) and some give me BIOS, some don't, some give me DOS, some don't, but all give me graphics modes. So it does depend on the graphics card used - I was just lucky with the tests I did with the old ThinkPad before - sorry!

I have three problems with devices like:

Startech VGA2HDMIPRO and Gefen and OPEN SOURCE SCAN CONVERTER..

1) They are expensive, 200$.. for simple signal convertor..

2) They are not so simple, i would prefer some which i not have to touch at all.. just connect it between videocard with VGA and modern monitor and i care im in Bios, DOS or in modern Windows with high resolution

3) Its not true for Startech a Gefen, but lots of such device are quite big and i would prefer smaller box

BTW want you thing about Startech and Syba devices, i often see same item no eBay from cheap Asia manufactor and visual same item for they much more expensive, add they to such items some more care, testing, firmware etc.. or they are just overprised, rebranded items form other companies?

Im old goal oriented goatman, i care about facts and freedom, not about egos+prejudices. Hoarding=sickness. If you want respect, gain it by your behavior. I hate stupid SW limits, SW=virtual world, everything should be possible if you have enough raw HW.

1) Opensource converter can't compete in price with massively produced hardware crap. The market for it is niche and small, so them are produced in small quantities. Probably is also the case for Startech and Syba, which although them are cheaper than the OSS option, you have to add the reseller handling costs. Finally, if is so simple as you said, then stop asking for one and build your own signal converter. Is "easy" for you after all.

2) Well... When you convert from VGA to DVI-D or HDMI, you are converting an

Analog signal to a Digital one. Diferences between analogic and digital signal, refresh rate and screen ration make impossible to build an active "automatic" signal converter. The options are there to allow fine tune the conversion quality or adjust it manually if the device fails to do the conversion itself.

3) Opensource converter uses a mass produced standard size case, but you can get one without case and make your own one, and tune it to your specifics. Biggest sized devices are probably professional second hand converters being resold... and them are small enough. I can't think in a scan converter device bigger than these, and still i don't find even the pro ones having an inconvenient size.
