The award winning VXI Modular Instrumentation Platform (VMIP™) provides customers with a level of modularity for instruments that is unmatched in the industry. The VMIP™ makes a single VXIbus card slot three times more powerful than single device solutions. Each VMIP™ instrument can be mixed and matched with other VMIP™ devices for added flexibility.

Customers can leverage our multi-tier approach to customization to reduce engineering costs.

• Our adaptable Build-to-Order (BTO) system provides for very short lead times and allows a product to be configured from a large set of predetermined parameters, with hundreds of thousands of BTO combinations available. BTO products are indicated in the product data-sheet and are shipped within 1-3 weeks, depending on the product. 
• Our Semi-Custom products require some additional design and documentation effort but can be a smart choice when more flexibility is required. 
• Lastly, a full Custom product can be developed when your budget and time frame allows. This option supplies you with a fully custom-designed and built lighting solution that will be engineered to fit your exact machine vision needs.

• Solve machine vision applications efficiently by constructing flowcharts instead of writing program code, using field-proven tools for analyzing, classifying, locating, measuring, reading and verifying
• Use a single program for creating both application logic and operator interface
• Leverage deep learning for visual inspection through image classification and segmentation tools
• Rely on a common underlying vision library for the same results with an Iris GTX smart camera, vision systems or third-part computer
• Work with multiple cameras all within the same project or per project running concurrently and independently from one another, platform permitting
• Interface to Zebra AltiZ and third party 3D sensors to visualize, process and analyze depth maps and point clouds
• Communication options include discrete Zebra I/Os, RS-232, and Ethernet (TCP/IP, CC-Link IE Field Basic, EtherNet/IP, Modbus, OPC UA, and PROFINET, and native robot interfaces)
• Maximize productivity with instant feedback on image analysis and processing operations
• Receive immediate pertinent assistance through an integrated contextual guide
• Maintain control and independence through the ability to create custom flowchart steps
• Test communication with PLC using the built-in PLC interface emulator
• Protect against inappropriate changes with the Project Change Validator tool

• Capture from legacy to the latest video sources through support for SD analog to UHD digital formats 
• Connect and switch between different video sources via Mini DisplayPort, HD-BNC, HDMI, and custom analog DVI1 connectivity 
• Handle multiple video sources with the simultaneous capture of up to eight HD or two UHD streams2 
• Optimize video transmission and storage through onboard multi-stream H.264 encoding 
• Minimize system footprint by way of a single-slot PCIe card design 
• Simplify application development using the Aurora Imaging Library, formerly Matrox Imaging Library (MIL), software development kit (SDK) 
• Deploy on a current platform of choice with support for 64-bit Windows® 7/10 and Linux
