TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Professionals using high-speed imaging technology meet inconveniences and limitations when recording longer-than-average footage. A solution is now available to fix just that. This week, Integrated Design Tools, Inc. (IDT) introduced the Taurus Platform, long-recording technology compatible with the company’s compact M-Series cameras, allowing one to 10 minutes of record time on a single system.
“We are always developing solution-based technology, and this is a complete solution,” said Dr. Luiz Lourenco, CEO of IDT. “We have created that happy medium of record time.”
When recording long footage, users are often forced to use a disk array, which can become expensive and complicated. Fully configured for turn-key operation, the Taurus Platform’s compact server writes to one card and uses Motion Studio software. Powered by the Quad Core Dual Xeon Platform, it is especially designed for long, slow-motion recordings and includes the M-Series camera. Practical applications of the Taurus Platform include lab use, production time analysis and optical tracking mounts.
“IDT is unique in offering bundled solutions,” said Rick Sutherland, IDT Sales Manager. “Normally, you would have to acquire such capabilities through a third party, but now you can make one phone call.”
Technical Specifications:
• Memory: 32GB ECC FBDIMMs Capacity (4GB Standard)1
• Solid State Memory: 160 GB Standard2
• Dual Intel® Gigabit Ethernet connections
• Mass Storage: 4xHard Disk Drive 3 1/2″ SATA300

The Taurus Platform includes the necessary camera link interface for M-Series cameras, along with a state-of-the-art, solid-state memory to achieve several minutes of recording at the maximum frame rate and resolution. For more technical specifications, visit IDTVision.com.
