Page 8: Introduction
INTRODUCTION The Alacron Fast-UXGA PCIe version is a highly flexible, programmable and expandable video capture and processing device. The Fast-UXGA Option provides for the capture, processing, and delivery of UXGA (1600x1200) true color, and high bandwidth monochrome video to a host Figure 1 - Fast-UXGA PCI-X Board The Fast-X UXGA option attaches to a Fast-Xe (PCI Express) card. -

INTRODUCTION TO THE ALACRON OCX MODEL When developing under Windows Alacron provides an OCX pathway to speed application development. These OCXs are also used in the canned Alacron applications and Libraries such as FastMotion Application and FastMotion Library that support simplified custom development. -
Page 15: Alpicture Ocx
ICTURE NTRODUCTION The Alacron Picture OCX (Alpicture.ocx) provides an easy way for a user to display an image from his application. It is not intended to be a high performance display object, but rather a load and examine the image tool. It can display several images a second, and is depends on the speed of the processor to do this. -

id(1) float Zoom; This variable controls how the images are displayed on the controls surface. When set to 1.0 the pixels of the image are display as pixels on the screen, this is some time called 1:1 viewing. If set to less than one a larger piece of the image is displayed (zoom out). If set larger than one a small portion of the image is displayed (zoom in). - Page 18 MAGE TRUCTURE The (long *) used in the methods above point to a structure called an image structure which is used in Alacron’s OIL library and most other places in the Alacron software. It has the following definition: typedef struct image_struct { itype_t itype;...

memclass_t memclass; ncomp; struct image_struct *next; } image_t; Most of these fields are clear. 'nr' number of rows (lines) in the image, sometimes also called the height of the image. 'nc' is the number of columns, pixels,width of the image. 'st' is the image stride, or the number of bytes from the left most pixel in a line to the left most pixel in the next line. -

ALACRON’S STRETCH/NEXPERIA OCX Many of the Alacron Stretch applications are based on an ActiveX Control (OCX). The control masks the details of using ALRT to load and communicate with a processor. The interface is based on a callback scheme which provides information to the user, and an interface definition which performs all the functions provided by the ALRT runtime environment. - Page 22 HRESULT rval ([out, retval] LONG* pVal); [propget, id( 3), helpstring("property ResetOnRelease")] HRESULT ResetOnRelease ([out, retval] BOOL* pVal); [propput, id( 3), helpstring("property ResetOnRelease")] HRESULT ResetOnRelease ([in] BOOL newVal); [propget, id( 4), helpstring("property FlagRegister")] HRESULT FlagRegister ([in] ULONG index, [out,retval] ULONG *pVal); [propput, id( 4), helpstring("property FlagRegister")] HRESULT FlagRegister ([in] ULONG index, [in] ULONG newVal);...
