Groundbreaking family of vDisplay IP engines enriches Pleora's solution set for real-time networked video connectivity

• Plug-and-play receiver hardware shrinks size, cost, and power consumption of viewing stations and specialized processing appliances on high-performance video networks

OTTAWA, CANADA, AUGUST 12, 2010: Pleora Technologies, a world leader in networked video connectivity solutions for mission-critical systems, today released the vDisplay™ family of IP engines, the industry's first video receivers designed specifically for viewing stations and specialized processing appliances on high-performance video networks.

Pleora's innovative vDisplay IP engines are comprised of compact, purpose-built hardware that allows high-resolution video streams on GigE (Gigabit Ethernet) networks to be displayed directly on monitors, in real time, without the need for a PC. They can also be used for real-time video capture in specialized processing appliances. The engines comply fully with the open, global GigE Vision® and GenICam™ standards.

By replacing PCs with ultra-efficient hardware, vDisplay engines shrink the size, lower the cost, reduce the power consumption, and improve the reliability of viewing stations and video processing appliances. They are ideal for OEMs and integrators building high-performance video products and systems for the military, medical, and manufacturing sectors.

“We’ve worked closely with lead customers to evolve the vDisplay technology platform we previewed last year into a feature-rich family of video receivers that is simple to deploy and intuitive to use,” said Rob Lee, Vice President of Marketing and Sales, Pleora Technologies. “These receivers add a unique new dimension to Pleora's growing portfolio of solution elements for high-performance networked video systems.”

Pleora will initially offer the vDisplay HDMI-Pro IP engine. The HDMI-Pro engine converts streaming IP video to standard HDMI/DVI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface/Digital Visual Interface) formats for real-time display on off-the-shelf monitors. It auto-senses the display capabilities of the attached monitor and adjusts the image formats and resolution of the incoming video stream to match the monitor's refresh rate and resolution. The HDMI-Pro engine is available as a compact OEM board set or a small enclosed unit.

Pleora's vDisplay HDMI-Pro IP engine integrates seamlessly with all other elements in Pleora's solution set for high-performance networked video connectivity, including its world-leading iPORT™ IP engines, eBUS™ drivers, the eBUS-PureGEV™ SDK, and the AutoGEV™ XML generation tool.
