StreamPix

StreamPix is professional digital video recording software from NorPix, developed specifically for high-speed recording, scientific cameras, and industrial applications. It allows simultaneous control and recording of multiple cameras via a single user interface.

Key features and performance

The software is designed to stream large amounts of data directly to the hard drive or RAM without image loss.

High data rates: Supports recording speeds of up to 22 gigabytes per second (depending on hardware configuration).

Camera compatibility: Supports over 100 camera manufacturers and common interfaces such as GigE Vision, USB3, Camera Link, CoaXPress, and ONVIF.

Real-time compression: Uses NVIDIA CUDA GPU acceleration for real-time compression in formats such as JPEG, H.264, and HEVC.

Synchronization: Enables precise timing of multiple cameras with external data sources such as GPS, IRIG-B, or LTC timecodes.

Software versions

StreamPix is available in different editions to meet different requirements:

StreamPix Lite: A cost-effective entry-level version for recording with a single camera (usually GigE or USB3).

StreamPix Single Full: Full functionality for a single camera.

StreamPix Multiple Camera: Enables synchronous control and recording of a theoretically unlimited number of cameras, provided the PC hardware supports this.

Pre/Post-Recording: Enables recording in a ring buffer to store sequences before and after a specific trigger event.

Audio recording: Synchronized recording of multi-channel audio sources.

DAQ module: Acquisition of analog or digital measurement data (e.g., temperature, pressure) in parallel with the video.

Remote control: Remote control of multiple StreamPix instances via a

Norpix TroublePix is specialized digital video recording software developed primarily for troubleshooting and monitoring in industrial manufacturing facilities. Unlike the more complex StreamPix software, TroublePix offers a simplified user interface optimized for non-technical personnel and touchscreen operation.

Core functions

Simultaneous functions: Enables simultaneous recording of live video, display of the camera image, and playback of previously recorded sequences (triplex functionality).

Triggering & looping: Supports pre/post triggering, in which the video runs in a ring buffer (RAM or hard disk) and is only permanently stored when an event (e.g., PLC signal) occurs.

Event markers: Sets automatic or manual markers in the video sequence to quickly find critical moments during later analysis.

Motion detection: An optional module can automatically start recording when motion is detected in a defined image area.

Technical specifications

Speed: Recordings from 60 to 4,500 fps (at VGA resolution) are possible depending on the hardware configuration.

Compatibility: Supports over 200 camera brands and common interfaces such as GigE Vision, USB3, Camera Link, and CoaXPress.

Storage: Data can be streamed directly to the hard drive uncompressed or using GPU-accelerated JPEG compression.

StreamTouch is specialized digital video recording (DVR) software from NorPix, designed primarily for operation via touchscreens on the factory floor or for mobile troubleshooting.

Core features of StreamTouch

User interface: Optimized for touch input or mouse operation with a simplified graphical user interface (GUI).

Recording modes: Supports pre/post triggering and continuous loop recording. This allows events before and after a trigger to be captured, which is ideal for analyzing machine errors.

Multi-camera support: Can simultaneously record from multiple cameras (e.g., GigE, USB3, 10/25 GigE) and synchronize them.

Areas of application: Frequently used in industrial troubleshooting, web break monitoring systems, and high-speed recording.

Additional features: Includes GPS support for tagging images with position data and is available in several languages (including German, French, and Spanish).

Technical details

Compatibility: Runs on 64-bit Windows systems (Windows 10/11).

Licensing: Usually requires a USB or HASP license key.

Integration: Supports over 100 different cameras and frame grabbers from well-known manufacturers.

Compared to the flagship product StreamPix, StreamTouch offers a significantly reduced and more intuitive interface for quick use directly on the production line.
