Cambridge Pixel Supplies Radar Capture Hardware and Display Software to Cemtrol

CAMBRIDGE, England, April 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

       
        - Cemtrol uses Cambridge Pixel's HPx-200e PCI Express (PCIe) radar input card and
          versatile SPx software library to add comprehensive radar acquisition and display
          capability to its new multi-function Radar Display Console 

    Cambridge Pixel (http://www.cambridgepixel.com ), an award-winning developer of
radar display, tracking and simulation subsystems, has supplied radar acquisition hardware
and scan conversion software to Cemtrol Inc. (http://www.cemtrol.com), a design and
manufacturing company with many years of experience in rugged and integrated control and
monitoring systems.

    Cemtrol is using Cambridge Pixel's products in its Radar Display Console (RDC). The
multi-function console is designed for use in many different applications including C4I,
civil air and maritime traffic control applications and other installations. It includes
two large monitors with optional touchscreen capability and a 10.4" multi-touch display.  

    Cemtrol uses Cambridge Pixel's HPx-200e PCI Express (PCIe) radar input card and SPx
software library to add a comprehensive radar acquisition and display capability to the
console.  One of the first customers to take delivery of Cemtrol's new RDC is a major
international defence organisation.

    Commenting for Cemtrol, Dror Schnitkes, CEO, said, "We selected Cambridge Pixel
because of their unparalleled background and experience in all aspects of radar processing
and display.  They were able to provide customised training for the engineers developing
our console software application alongside high-quality product documentation. In addition,
the company provided responsive and detailed support during our integration activity,
culminating in a successful demonstration to our most recent customer."

    David Johnson, CEO of Cambridge Pixel, said, "We were delighted to work alongside
Cemtrol to bring a radar capability to their console.  They have benefitted from the
highly modular approach that characterises our software library, and were able to select
exactly those components for radar processing and display that were necessary to implement
their required features, with a clear route to adding extra functionality if future
applications of the radar console demand it.  Furthermore, the flexible design of our
radar input card meant that Cemtrol could easily integrate it with their own radar azimuth
interface hardware."

    Cambridge Pixel's HPx-200e PCI Express (PCIe) radar input card supports capture of
analogue and digital channels from many different radar types.  Radar video is digitised
at high resolution, with flexible mixing of the two analogue inputs and digital inputs.
 Used with the company's comprehensive SPx software library, radar video can be processed
using algorithms such as dynamic thresholding, sensitivity time control (STC), fast time
constant (FTC) and clutter suppression before being subjected to plot extraction and
advanced multi-hypothesis tracking.

    Cambridge Pixel's SPx software library also provides a rich array of methods for
presenting multiple channels of primary radar video on the operator display.  It allows
the customer to mix multiple independent channels of scan-converted video with his own
display layers, including maps and symbology, to create an advanced user interface where
zooming and panning are synchronised across all layers.  Multiple radar display formats,
including plan position indicator (PPI), A-Scan and B-Scan, are fully supported.

    Cambridge Pixel's technology is used in naval, air traffic control, vessel traffic,
commercial shipping, security, surveillance and airborne radar applications.
