Abstract:
1. A system for inspecting a substrate, the system comprising: an inspector having a sensor that inspects the substrate and produces a video stream, and a control interface adapted to send and receive a control stream, a network adapted to receive and transport the video stream and the control stream as two separate data streams, a desktop for receiving the video stream and the control stream as two separate data streams, the desktop having a display adapted to present the video stream, and the desktop having user interface controls adapted to control operation of the inspector by use of the control stream across the network, and a parser adapted to selectively crop the video stream prior to delivery of the video stream from the sensor to the desktop, where the selective cropping produces a cropped view and reduces a size of the video stream, and a location of the cropped view within a full video frame of the video stream is remotely selectable from the desktop via the control interface.
