Features and Functionality of Pixel Precision™

Unified User-Friendly Interface:

Previously disparate functions are now integrated into
one application. With Pixel Precision the user does not need to use multiple tools or call routines/programs for different functions.

Pixel Precision provides a unified interface for everything - Pixel editing, sequence design, and Discovery interface all in one.



Individual Micro-mirror Control

The Pixel Precision GUI provides users a graphical grid
that represents individual micro-mirrors of the DMD array. Users can zoom in and precision control over a million micro-mirrors through simple point-and-click activation.




Develop Complex Animation Sequences

Pixel Precision provides the ability to design and display a lengthy series of frames.
Sequences up to 700 frames in length can be designed and displayed. Thus, exploiting the full capabilities of the DMD device.



Powerful Editing Capabilities

With a rich set of drawing and editing tools,
Pixel Precision makes it easy for the user to design and control complex frames as well as sequences. Some of the tools available include:
• Pen and Eraser Tools
• Color Template
• Cut, Copy, and Paste.
• Frame Flip and Frame Duplicate.



Animation, Sequences and Frames

Precision Pixel provides the researcher with the ability to design not only single frames for “static display”, but also multiple frames for sequential display as an animation sequence. Once each frame in the sequence is designed, controlling the animation merely involves setting its frame rate.

Pixel Precision provides users with two ways to control and
adjust the frames – Frame Period or Frame Rate. This feature enables users to:

• Quickly adjust the speed of a sequence.
• Adjust from 1 fps to the maximum of the Discovery system.
• Perform “On-the-fly” adjustments.
Import, Save and Re-start: Extensive File Operations

Jump-start the process by importing an image file into the program and then use the tools to build further. Save complicated sequences when done or simply when you want to take a break. Reload and start from where you stopped instead of going back all the way.

- Import image files into Pixel Precision
- Save to disk operations
