Ok so, I have a bit of an update; I just installed a couple of updates from microsoft (.netframe update) and as soon as I restarted, and tried opening Sony, it worked only once, as soon as I closed it and tried to re-open it did not open again, it froze.
my sony vegas is hasing the same problem! ive had sony 8 for a while then i stopped using it for like a month and it crahses upon creating window and i redownloaded it and still didnt work then i down,oaded 9 and it crashed too. need a solution!
Sony Europe's Image Sensing Solutions Division has announced the officiallaunch of a full software development kit (SDK) for its Linux-based XCI-SX1smart camera, and simultaneously unveiled plans to support Microsoft Windows XPeon the same hardware platform. The XCI-SX1 integrates an image sensor and framegrabber with an integrated x86-compatible AMD Geode™ processor whichruns the operating system and performs image pre-processing and camera control(Plate 2).
Developers using the Linux product now have access to a fully-tested editor,debugger and compiler, supported by comprehensive programming and referenceguides. The SDK, which also includes a full set of drivers, libraries and samplesource code, can be used to develop on several Linux x86 systems (such as RedHat7.3). Registered users will be able to download it for free from the Sonywebsite (www.sonybiz.net/vision).
The addition of further Compact Flash storage capacity will allow Windows Xpeand Linux users to develop their own applications direct on the camera. Thecamera hardware includes a direct PC monitor output, USB connector, 10Base-T/100Base-TX interface, external trigger facilities and electronic shutter,allowing the device to be configured for any end- user application, but also fornative development and testing.
Key to Sony's commitment to support users of the XCI-SX1 smart camera rangeis the announcement of the first three smart camera software compatibledeveloper partners for the newly introduced Sony Vision Network: MVTec withHalcon Library, Euresys with e-Vision and FDS with Imaging Software.
The Sony Vision Network is a partnership programme intended to deliver provencombinations of Sony hardware and third-party software backed with expertconsultancy, advice and supply chain support. The network will help achieve fastand simple application- and system-building by identifying assured sources ofhardware and software compatible with Sony's products, and providing expertise,experience and advice on integration and sector-specific issues.
Smart cameras such as the XCI-SX1 are currently seeing the highest growthrates within the machine vision market. Unlike conventional machine visioncameras, images captured by the XCI- SX1 are processed within the camera, whichalso has its own CPU for control tasks. This confers several advantages incertain kinds of machine vision system: it relieves the processing burden on thecentral CPU; it cuts the amount of data that needs to be moved around thesystem; and the integrated nature of the camera/processor combination simplifiescamera control tasks. It allows fast and cost-effective development andimplementation of a range of machine vision applications, without changing thehardware infrastructure.
Sony Europe's Image Sensing Solutions Division has announced that its XCI-SX1smart camera has become the first such device to fully support Microsoft WindowsXPe (Figure 4). Users can now develop and deploy applications in the familiar,easy-to-use Windows XPe environment that is becoming the platform of choice inthe machine vision market.
The package includes all necessary software licences and is supplied on ahigh-quality industrial-grade 1GB CF card. The combination of Windows XPe andthe XCI-SX1's industry- standard networking interfaces such as USB and10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet will significantly ease the integration of visionsystems into the overall enterprise IT environment.
The new package also opens up the possibility of developing Windows XPeapplications under remote debugging mode or eventually directly on the cameraitself. This approach is further facilitated by the provision within the XCI-SX1of a direct PC monitor output, USB connector, external trigger facilities andelectronic shutter.
The sample application supplied with the Windows XPe support package isitself a powerful tool: engineers can use it to adjust the CCD parameters,capture images and store them in a standard format. Developers of more complexapplications will also have access to a full software development kit includingan editor, debugger and compiler, supported by comprehensive programming andreference guides. Registered users will be able to download this for free fromthe Sony web site (www.sonybiz.net/vision).
Software support for the XCI-SX1 is already lining up under the auspices ofthe Sony Vision Network. Packages include the Halcon 7.1 library and developmenttools from MVTech; FDS Research's Imaging Environment, which allows quickhigh-level application development. These tools and drivers allow the use of theXCI- SX1 in a range of target markets from automotive, electronics andsemiconductor manufacturing, to security, traffic control, medical, food andbeverage and scientific applications.
