RV2

Video Capture & Tracking System

The RV2 system provides digital video recording and real-time tracking. Video is streamed from the Gigabit camera to the RV2 dedicated video processor. X and Y coordinate space is automatically recorded for up to three colors and eight unique objects. Spatial events such as an object entering or leaving a region can also be marked. Both positional information and image data can be stored on dedicated hard drives within the RV2 and sent to an RZ processor in real-time for precise synchronization with other recorded data, such as neural signals.

Included RVMap software allows you to quickly set up complex tracking:

Define up to 8 tracked regions and a void region
Define the origin and custom scale (in cm, feet, etc)
Define any number of LEDs (RGB) and reference points
LED points contain region, x, and y information
Reference points contain region, x, y, and heading information

The RV2 is recommended for use with TDT systems.
