Cambridge Pixel's Technical Director David
Johnson describes the benefits of software-based radar scan-conversion in Military
Embedded Systems - see original article here.
April 2008 - "HPx-100 Radar Interface Card"
Cambridge Pixel announces its
new PCI Radar Capture card. The HPx-100 provides high- performance, cost-effective radar acqusition. The card may be used with the
Cambridge Pixel supplied driver and API (C/C++ based) to bring radar video
into Windows or Linux applications. The compatible SPx processing library offers
modular software components for optional network distribution, recording, and scan
conversion of the radar video.

March 2008 - "SPx v1.6 Scan Converter leads with Trail
History Retention capability"
The latest SPx Scan software scan converter will support
trail history retention. Previous generation scan converters have traditionally lost
all trail history when the operator changes scale. Now SPx Scan preserves history.
November 2007 - "SPx software for embedded and rugged applications"
SPx software libraries will be supported with GE Fanuc
Intelligent Platforms' MAGIC1 rugged display computer and related VPX hardware.
This is a high-performance display and
graphics engine
packaged in a base-plate-cooled chassis capable of operating in the harsh environments
demanded by military and aerospace customers. The SPx software libraries provide
high-performance radar processing and display capabilities for
this platform, allowing primary radar video to be received, processed and scan-converted
with very low CPU/GPU utilisation. For

September 2007 - "Latest SPx software includes support
for Linux/X11 and Microsoft XP/Vista"
Cambridge Pixel's latest release of its SPx software provides
support for radar processing and scan conversion under Linux/X Windows and Microsoft
XP/Vista. The development libraries provide enhanced processing capabilities with
scan-to-scan integration and region-based processing, allowing complex polygons
and range-azimuth segments to define an area of interest.
July 2007 - "SPx Radar Scan Converter for Frontier Electronic
Systems, Stillwater, USA"
Cambridge
Pixel is under contract to Frontier Electronic Systems, Stillwater, Oklahoma, to
provide its
SPx radar processing and scan conversion technology for radar distribution
and display. Building on Frontier?s established radar network distribution product,
the SPx scan converter will permit multiple channels of radar video to be processed
and scan converted. The radar images are delivered in real-time to display consoles
for presentation as a rotating sweep with underlay and overlay graphics. The SPx
software provides a highly flexible set of software objects, optimized for modern
multi-core processors and high-performance graphics GPU, and supported in a open
architecture, extensible framework.
June 2007 - "New Standards for Radar Compression"
Cambridge Pixel has announced that it will offer both ZLIB
and ORC (Open Radar Coding) formats for its radar video distribution standards.
The choice will give users the option of achieving higher compression at the expense
of more CPU (ZLIB) or conserving processing resources at the expense of more network
bandwidth with ORC.
