I/O Board Aids CAT Image Processing

The Lynx digital I/O board provides a high-performance digital interface for the company's VME-based CAT image processing and display systems. It contains 32 or 64 KB of dual ported SRAM directly mapped into the memory space of the main processor and a parallel TTL- or LVDS-compatible interface that generates or accepts data at rates up to 40 MB/s.
Sensor inputs such as radar, linescan video, and sonar can be accepted. The board can also be used for radar output when its 32 KB of buffer memory is split into eight, 4-KB buffers, which are filled by the CAT processor and sent down the synchronous data channel.
