Easy

A unique prototyping tool, Topology Builder, lets you test your ideas without writing a single line of code. A vast set of sample applications, with source-code, lets you model your own code, shortening development and testing. Complete user guide and online help are available.

Precise

Sophisticated, built-in system clocking and time stamping mechanisms in the SDK guarantee frame accurate control of all components with very fine granularity. This allows developers to maintain synchronization and frame accuracy even in complex real-time applications.
