Source axons

Source axons produce images to feed the processing axons by setting parameters of the hardware generating the video stream.

1.BatchAxon:
Reads images from a hard disk to form a batch to produce an image stream.

2.FramegrabberAxon:
The FrameGrabberAxon is only used in a CortexServer in combination with a AVUTEC PCI express FrameGrabberCard.
The FrameGrabberCard captures images of analogue camera's and converts them to digital frames.
Besides that it features a hardware watchdog rebooting the system when necessary.

3.IDS Axon:
Axon responsible for producing images from the on board IR sensitive sensor controlling the configuration of it's parameters as exposure, gain and resolution.

4.IPCameraAxon:
Produces a video stream from a RTSP source

5.ULLAxon
Axon responsible for producing images from the on board color sensor controlling the configuration of its parameters as exposure and gain or choose its preconfigured default settings .

6.USBCameraAxon:
Axon responsible for producing images from the on board color camera and controlling the configuration of it's parameters as image format and resolution, contrast and saturation. It is used in first generations of Gatekeepers, in the X-Series it is replaced by the VideoSourceAxon.

7.VideoSourceAxon:
Axon responsible for producing images from the on board color sensor controlling the configuration of its parameters as image format and resolution, contrast and saturation.
