- GigE Cameras: Allied Vision and other cameras using GigE protocol
Used by FS-BT luminescence monitors or by BL staff for other purposes.
Clients: VimbaViewer, ATK, java applications (rely on the Tine server).
Problems:
- GigE protocal visible only in the same subnet.
(A broadcast is used to find the cameras, not routed)
- There is a Tine server exporting the signal
across subnet boundaries. The support for this server is currently under
discussion.
- Bandwidth: 3 Hz for FS-BT purposes, higher frequency for other
applications.
- Delay, FB P08: the Tine server generates a delay. P08 moved
experimental area cameras to Tango server, the front end cameras remain in the
Tine world.
Possible solutions:
- Maintain the support for the Tine server and the java clients.
- Install Tango servers to export the signal across subnet boundaries.
Requieres Linux Tango hosts in the camera subnet.
- OG: Use LaVue to display the images. Cameras can be book-marked.
- YM, TN, P23: created a Tango server (TineCamera) speaking to the Tine server. This
server uses the PyTine module. This way the java clients are avoided and also the
TTTGW (memory leak). A viewer has been written to
display the images. The viewer can display images from any Tango server.
