Mixed-brand Imaging Systems
PIV, Micro PIV, Volumetric Velocimetry, PLIF,Shadow Imaging and Flow Visualization

Protect your investment by replacing only defective system components
If you have an unsupported PIV, Micro PIV, Volumetric Velocimetry, PLIF, Shadow
Imaging or Flow Visualization system, we can help.
Modern Imaging systems are quite modular and as a result many hardware components
are interchangeable between your current system and the Dantec Imaging software;
DynamicStudio. Almost all Lasers and LEDs can be synchronized to image acquisitions
from within DynamicStudio either via your current synchronizer hardware or using
our state of the art Advanced Synchronizer. Most Scientific High Speed cameras anda huge variety of traditional low speed ‘Double Frame’ cameras have been integrated
into DynamicStudio, enabling precise synchronization and image capture in the same
software platform. For many legacy systems the only item required is the DynamicStudiosoftware.
In case your hardware device is not supported by DynamicStudio and your project relies
on it, we may even offer a custom implementation of this device into our software.

Upgrade path
• Protect your investment by replacing only the faulty or unsupported system components• Most Time-resolved systems only need a software upgrade• Many double frame camera systems can be supported by simply upgrading the frame
grabber card
• Specific items can be implemented into the to our software platform DynamicStudioon request

Which system components can be retained?
Illumination Units: the most common light sources are Lasers or LEDs, both arebased on 5V TTL pulses for synchronization and can be retained.
Cameras can be categorized into two groups, high-speed cameras that typicallydo not use frame grabbers, and Double Shutter cameras that in most cases use
Framegrabber, USB3 or GigE as interface to the PC. DynamicStudio supports
most high-speed cameras directly already. If your camera uses a framegrabber,
you may only need to exchange the framegrabber for it to be usable in the Dantec
software platform.
Image Intensifiers are controlled via TTL pulses and can be retained.
Microscopes are not interfaced to the software, so they can be retained without
any problem.
Camera Accessories are a wide range of products such as lenses and filters. Mostof these items can be retained.

Synchronization and PC: If your legacy system uses a Berkeley 575 synchronizer this device is already directly supported in DynamicStudio and can beretained. Alternatively, the Dantec Advanced Synchronizer can be added forsystems using alternative timing units. The PC can be used if it is running on
a 64-bit version of Windows 10 or 11 preferably with Intel CPU´s and Nvidia
GPU´s.

Main components of imaging systems, many of them are supported by our imaging software
DynamicStudio.

Which Imaging systems can be upgraded and how?
DynamicStudio has synchronization, image acquisition and data processing
routines for PIV, Micro PIV, Volumetric PIV, 3D PTV, PLIF, Shadow or Flow
Visualization. Any of these systems can be upgraded and supported byDynamicStudio. To find out what is possible, please create a list of items
you have, if possible including the name of the manufacturer of the OEMcomponents, and contact one of our sales representatives.

DynamicStudio is a complete software platform designed to support a widerange of imaging measurements within fluid dynamics, solid mechanics,microfluidics, spray/particle analysis, mixing and combustion diagnostics,
and flow visualization. Wizards and assistance tools guide the user toconfigure the hardware setup and optimize the image acquisition parameters.
