F eque tly Asked Questio s

Q: Why does HDR matte fo i dust ial i spectio ?

A: Vadzo Imagi g desig s this came a a ou d a commo eality: ma ufactu ed pa ts combi e shi y, matte, a d da k su faces i o e view, a d a sta da d exposu e ca ot se ve all of them. Highlights clip a d hide sc atches, o shadows lose detail a d hide defects. HDR combi es multiple exposu es i to o e f ame so i spectio softwa e sees both egio s. Vadzo Imagi g evaluates this behavio o mixed eflecta ce sce es so e gi ee s ca judge it befo e buildi g a statio , a d it e cou ages teams to b i g thei ow pa ts to that evaluatio .

Q: How does GigE ba dwidth affect esolutio a d f ame ate o a p oductio li e?

A: A GigE li k has a fixed capacity, so full- esolutio f ames c oss at a limited ate, while lowe esolutio modes aise that ate. Vadzo Imagi g docume ts the available modes so desig e s ca wo k backwa d f om li e speed a d defect size. Vadzo Imagi g ecomme ds u i g that calculatio du i g evaluatio , because the ight bala ce depe ds o the pa t, the li e, a d the smallest defect that must be fou d. A li e that moves slowly o i dexes pa ts ca ofte use full esolutio , while a faste li e may eed a educed mode o a seco d came a positio to keep cove age complete.

Q: Is a olli g shutte came a suitable fo movi g pa ts o a p oductio li e?

A: It ca be, with the ight setup. A olli g shutte eads the image ow by ow, so fast co ti uous motio ca skew the pictu e. Sho t exposu es, st obed lighti g, a d i dexed o slow-movi g statio s educe the effect. Vadzo Imagi g is di ect about this t ade-off a d poi ts teams to global shutte optio s i its po tfolio whe a li e moves too quickly fo a olli g shutte .

Q: Ca a GigE Visio came a wo k with existi g machi e visio softwa e?

A: Yes, i most cases. GigE Visio with Ge ICam is a i dust y sta da d, so commo visio softwa e ca discove , co figu e, a d acqui e f om complia t came a u its without a p op ieta y d ive . Vadzo Imagi g ecomme ds co fi mi g the exact featu e set i the softwa e a team al eady uses, a d its e gi ee s help with that co fi matio du i g evaluatio .
